From when the 2019 Boxxer came out:

"Last year a number of RockShox's athletes raced on what was referred to internally as the 'Lyxxer' – a Boxxer that was running 29” Lyrik lowers. And yes, that means some of the hardest chargers in the world were racing with a 15mm thru-axle. In fact, there were serious discussions about using a 15 x 110mm thru axle on the new Boxxer, which would have allowed riders to swap wheels from their trail bike to their downhill bikes."

Any idea why they did that? 

The 29 lyrik lowers allowed wheel clearance around the arch. Custom crowns were needed to accommodate the c-c of the bore on said lowers. We built two sets for the 2018 season. I think we had to limit the travel to 190 though
