    I have this same fork on my dirt jumper but branded as "Bucklos 32" that I bought as a placeholder until bike parts could come back in stock, it's been 2 years of street, dirt and pump track usage and the only issue I had was that my lower caliper bolt got stripped. This fork is very impressive, I didn't think it would last as much as it did, now I'm thinking of instead buying a used fox or rockshox (can't afford a new one, they cost 6 minimum wages in my country), I'm actually going to buy the "36" version of the same fork.

    Sam is one of the best MTB riders in the world. He rides so smooth, the fork doesn't actually see that high loads - not even on these bigger jumps. Further he can reduce the loads on the fork by landing with more weight on the back wheel. I don't mean to discredit the fork. But Sam is not a good everyday average person tester for this fork. Sure it makes for a good video but the fork barely gets any hits at all. And that is simply down to Sam not wanting to risk getting injured.

    I purchased some off brand Chinese forks when I was trying to start my own MTB import brand.(I actually was offering a $2200/ 23 lb XT equipped carbon hard-tail with hand built wheels) I tested a few forks. Some were good, some sucked. The biggest problem I ran across was the coating on the stanchions. It would wear off.

    Replaced my forks on my ebike with some Airbike branded forks. I'm sure they are the same as these, except they're matt black with the burred gold-ish stanchions. They came with the brand stickers to apply yourself, so obviously they went in the bin. They look quite stealthy in plain black. Had them a year and cannot fault them at all.

    I’ve been cycle touring around Asia with my girlfriend the last year and there’s a huge mountain bike (mainly XC) scene in the Philippines. These forks are so popular out here, except for the locals they’re a luxury fork, not entry level as they would be in the UK.
    To put it in context, a teacher in the Philippines earns around £3000 per year, so it’s brilliant that there are low cost, functional products that people around the world can just about afford!
    Nice video as always Sam.

  • @biscuitdingus
    @biscuitdingus 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    A lot of the issues with these super cheap aliexpress/amazon air forks isnt the product itself but the quality control. I have two bolany 26" forks and one is bombproof, been riding it hard for over a year, zero issues. The other came with a rattle inside and it leaks air. And reviews and experiences from others show the same thing. When theyre built right, theyre perfectly adequate forks, an air fork really isnt that complicated of a part. But since the quality varies so heavily, sometimes you get one thats just put together poorly and breaks easily.
    If these companies ran the same QA as rockshox or fox or whoever, theyd be making completely viable budget alternatives.

    I've got similar Bucklos branded forks on a bike and they work great for trails. I wouldn't trust them at the bike park for rad downhills and big hit jumps !

      No im riding a adapter like this too you have to tighten it then ride do a few bunnyhops and tighten it again so it presses on the forks then its tightttt

      @@Xx__Pro00_Gamer_xX696 that makes sense but also sounds kinda similar to bearing preload but you have to like preload it multiple times.

    I guarantee the company making these forks is also making forks for major bike companies as well, and just making their own, allowing people to cut out the middleman who is raking in thousands, and paying the company building them 90 bucks a piece, then selling them for 500-1000% more.

      I've taken apart quite a few of these forks and the design they use is similar to suntour. But, the quality varies since it appears that there's 2 different variations of these forks being sold. One variation is cheaper, while the other one is better. However, even the higher quality version is still one step behind suntour quality. And suntour produces the chassis for fox and dvo.

    For anyone considering cheap Chinese forks, think twice. Forks need regular service and parts, you will not find any for these. GMBN tested similar forks, sent them to a repair service for inspection after one day of use, and they were in pretty bad shape already. Not to mention that you need a robust fork that you can rely on if you don’t want to risk a serious crash.

      totally true - if somebodys buget is limited should opt for a used but good fork instead.

    Gotta try the double crown forks now.
    They're like £130 I think and should be able to resist bendage with all the extra metal.
    Also they have damping adjuster on the bottom of the fork.
    Had a pair on a self built while for like a week. Stuck max Psi in them and they worked great.
    Accidentally got crazy air onto flat and they survived the force of 60 kilo bike and 80 kilo rider landing flat from about head height 😂

    o waow, this vid cames like a dream, i saw them bcs mine are on the way of giving out and was like "ummmm they are kinda worth the try...."
    welp, after watching the whole vid i have to say they did better than i expected, i do wonder when that little bent appeared though, but for more casual riding they seem more than good enough, that being said it would be good a follow up on a disassemble or something like that bcvs i saw other vid on cheap forks and they where criminal on the inside, even before using them
