So, from my own experience:
I over-forked my chisel and thus slackened the STA and it made a negative difference for climbing straight off the bat. I compensated by pushing the saddle forward.
Going to an Epic Evo that is laid out for 120mm fork reaped a noticeable improvement again.
It's just pretty common sense: You get further over the BB and thus better traction and less of a "rearing up" of the bike.
And then like every pink bike review on the last two years or so.
