i run 27.5 forks on my 26″ bike. works fine. When I looked (Pikes rather than Lyriks though) going from 26 to 27.5 only changed A-C by 10mm i.e A-C on a 140mm 27.5 Pike was the same as on a 150mm 26″ fork.

Can you put a 29 inch fork on a 26 inch bike?
Yes, BUT. Many (most?) 29er forks have more rake/off-set than most 26er forks, to make steering more sensitive. Also, if you want rim brakes, they'll be located all wrong.14 May 2011
Can I put bigger forks on my bike?
In general, bikes will happily accept forks that are up to 20mm larger than their designers intended. Feel free to go beyond that if you must, but be prepared for a bike that the manufacturer didn't really intend to create. That doesn't mean it will suck, but it's just something to be aware of.19 Jun 2018
What is the difference between 24 and 26 inch bike?
What is the difference between a 24 inch bike and a 26 inch bike? 26 inch bikes have more tire clearance and a longer wheelbase than 24 inch bikes, which makes them easier to ride for taller riders. 26 inch frames are typically lighter and stiffer in order to compensate for the larger diameter tires they use.
How do I know what suspension forks will fit my bike?
The main thing you need to look for is the steerer size. Most Mtb headtube is 1.1/8", a few are 1.5" or the combo of the two, tapered steerer. So as long as the fork is 1.1/8" you are good to go.31 Jan 2013
What size are forks?
The traditional standard has long been 1 1/8” but some modern bikes feature larger 1.5” head tubes or even tapered versions, where the diameter of the tube at the bottom (1.5”) is larger than at the top (1 1/8”) , so you'll need a fork with a tapered steerer tube to match.24 Apr 2020
