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

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!

I just picked up a Specialized Rock Hopper Elite a few weeks ago and on the maiden voyage realized that I did not like the Rock Shocks (Judy) installed on the bike. I parused a few options on Amazon and settled on these shocks (I have a set of them on my 29'r as well). The factory installed shocks have a travel of 120mm and these are 130mm. They give the front of the bike a little more lift and that, paired with a new bar stem, gave me a more backward-sitting stance that moved my body more towards the center/back of the bike, instead of feeling like I was going to go over the handlebars. I love the trigger mounted lock-out feature on these shocks. No more letting go of the handlebars and trying to feel my way to the lockout lever-dial on the shocks. Just the flick of the lever and my shocks either lock out or go full suspension. Very nice. I was on a ride yesterday and the shadow on the trail I thought was a leaf ended up being a stump. And these shocks probably prevented me from doing an endo and landing on my face. Instead I piled into the front of the bike and it bounced me back onto the seat. My knee, however, was less than pleased...Good price for a very good shock. Highly recommend.

I like these so far. Like the feel of the air suspension. Only have 50 commuter miles. Feel nice and light. Look real good. Like better than the stock Suntours that came on my Giant 29er. Time will tell on how they hold up. Would give five stars if there was some instructions. Not sure what pressures to use or even what the red knob at the bottom is for. Lots of trial and error setting up.Update: I have about 2k miles commuting and some serious mountain bike riding completed. Had a friend who knows his stuff help me set them up before the mountain bike race. I didn’t do well, the bike and rider were NOT up to it, but the shock performed perfectly. Front stayed planted even though my hard tail bounced uncontrollably. (I bought a real FS Mtn bike since) I removed the lockout cable since I never used it. Still used for commuting, a great buy in my experience.

The fork mostly works fine. Mine arrived with the rebound adjustment knob not functional and loose. The bolt looked like it had been damaged before as if during assembly they were also struggling with it. I tightened up the bolt but now I cannot spin the knob to adjust rebound. So it’s stuck where it is. I have had good luck with these forks in the past. Might have just received a dud. Just make sure you’re fully inspecting these before you start sending em!UPDATE: 09-11-2021 A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS CLEANING MY BIKE AND NOTICED A FEW SLIGHT CRACKS IN THE LOWERS OF THE FORK. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THESE STARTED OR IF THEY WERE THERE ALL ALONG. I AM NOT A HARDCORE RIDER. AND I HAVE NOT BEAT ON THESE FORKS VERY MUCH. THEY'VE GOT ABOUT 150 MILES OF MIXED USE ON THEM. LIGHT LOCAL DIRT TRAILS AND LOTS OF NEIGHBORHOOD RIDING. I HAVE HEARD HORROR STORIES OF THESE THINGS SNAPPING ON PEOPLE. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE A STORY LIKE THAT OF MY OWN. I CAN NO LONGER RECOMMEND THESE AS THEY ARE JUST NOT SAFE. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY SOMETHING BETTER. IT REALLY IS A SHAME BECAUSE I DO LIKE THESE AND THEY MOSTLY WORK I JUST FEEL LIKE THE QUALITY IS NOT WORTH THE RISK.

I have a Haro Double Peak 29 sport that came with a Vaxa 28 Spring fork. Entry level. I wanted to upgrade my fork to air suspension but my local bike shops were quoting me $300+. Went with this one and it is amazing. Love the ride, so smooth and much different. I feel like I have much better control. The remote lock out is great switching back and forth. Only rode it for about an hour but took it on some of my regular runs and I definitely enjoyed it much more.

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.

The Bucklos Air Fork came with everything and although had been USED it holds air and adjusts like new....that said was it rode hard and put back on the shelf? Time will tell.Schwinn AL Comp bike rebuildThe 2022 Schwinn's fork was already frozen,heavy and just hurting the overall riding experience.

The measured travel is only 98mm. Not the 120mm advertised. Fork has lots of initial sticktion but does move nicely after initial sticking. Damping was better than anticipated. It doesn't feel like there's much of any negative air pressure in a lower air chamber. Bottom out is quite harsh, and felt through your hands. Fit and finish is not quite as good as premium brands such as RockShox and Fox, but is pretty good. Absolutely no documentation came inside the box. Also the box had no cushioning inside other than the plastic bag. Overall it's decent value, but not on par with higher end forks for actual travel and features that work. Also from online videos not much serviceable parts inside the fork.
