I think the point of this thread is about identifying the differences in the 2014 model from those built in 2013 or before - when we see the part numbers for the 2014 vs 2013 we'll know for sure. Maybe there are some differences to geometry but that would seem unlikely and it's probably just a misprint. I'm with Deanohh on this because in the real world the minute difference in this specification won't amount to much of a difference in feel and is only observable when the bike is static. Under operation with the loads placed on the suspension by braking, accelerating and cornering mean the effective rake and trail are constantly changing so IMO a 1/4" difference in the trail spec would be hard to notice ... certainly not by a rider of my skill level.
