BUCKLOS 26/27.5/29 Travel 120mm MTB Air Suspension Fork, Rebound Adjust 1 1/8 Straight/Tapered Tube QR 9mm Manual/Remote Lockout XC AM Ultralight Mountain Bike Front Forks

Really solid and easy to install with the same brand headstock kit

Vast improvement on the XCM front fork that came standard on my bike. Price was reasonable. Easy installation. Let’s see how it holds up.

I put this on my Origin8 Amarok XLT, which started out as a rigid fork fat tire bike. I'm running it with a Kenda Booster Pro 29x2.6 inch tire. The tire fits but there is not enough room for a fender between it and the tube strap. The fork has a little flex to it, but not more than I expected. I weigh 230 lbs and am running the fork with 100 psi, which gives me around 3/4 of an inch preload when I sit on the bike. I have the rebound set to the second to slowest setting, which works nicely for me on mild to medium trails. I have the stiffness set to the second from loosest click. This fork works nicely for the riding that I do. I have only been running it for a few weeks now so I can't speak to longevity, I will come back and edit this if I have any problems in the future.

Update 7/10/21 I cannot recommend this fork as it is a safety hazard. Fork stanchion snapped on me while rolling down a minor rock garden. If you do any real mountain biking and want to live, then stay away. Fork is definitely more orange than gold, I installed it today and it does make a little bit of noise, also I feel as though I am at the upper weight limit of this fork at 200lbs as I bottom it out pretty easily. Also I can confirm a maximum travel of 112mm so not the 120 that is claimed.

So far this fork has performed flawlessly. Not comparing this to a high-end fork but at the same time it has given a comfortable ride as well as put up with the abuse I've given it. Great fork for a Budget build. I will definitely be buying more.

I’m holding back a couple of stars because I’ve just started writing this so far I’m happy. I may have an update soon, but we’ll see.

Plush, doesn't squeak so far (25 Miles In), and takes all the beating. I will say if you take a sharp turn and forces are trying to push the wheel another direction, I feel the fork start to bend a little and it creaks as such. For less than $200 to my door, I can't be more happy with the performance though. I weight roughly 175-180 and needed to adjust the air pressure to 115 PSI to not bottom out FYI. If you're noticing the white stuff in the stem, I sanded it rough, and added two sticks of marine weld putty on the inside and let it set and cure. I then drilled an air relief in the middle in case. I did this due to the rough terrain where I'm at, and if the fork were to break, I'd rather the shock portion take the brunt of the impact rather than the stem crack and it fall completely out. So far so good and no issues with imbalance. Edit 08/16/23: About just over 4 weeks into recovery after tearing my AC joint riding. One thing, this fork is flimsy unfortunately and would shift when under load in medium speed (8-10mph) turns. I honestly shouldn't have expected much more, but even with 100psi in, I went over a drop ~3.5 feet at about 11-13mph and with the bike the fork would not rebound leaving the rear shock lifting the bike and...well you know I was basically a unicycle on the front wheel downhill for as long as I could quickly learn how to balance. Please be careful with these, my injuries could have been much worse had the fork actually snapped (Thank God it didn't), but it's not worth your life for $200 less. Use these on local *PAVED* trails. These flexed even under light load on small curves. Definitely terrifying, causing a mishap. I knew what I got myself into, but I never realized they could be this endangering.

Lightweight & functional changed the dynamic of the bike...I also bought the headset to match & everything working smooth as butter! For the cost this cant be beat on a budget!
