Inverted forks have to be thru-axle due to the fact there's no fork arch/brace. A quick release inverted fork would be a scary proposition for anyone crazy enough to try it. The axle is performing the job of the missing brace to keep the stanchions parallel. That's also the reason for the dual bolts that tighten down the clamps on the thru-axle, to maintain rigidity.
Gotcha John, it's funny the Wolf told me all about it on our way to the gym👍 There was a few things taken out of the edit I said regarding this and it sounded very dumb!! Lol Thanks man, nice to see ya👍
You guys are amazing thanks for the shout out and yes Wolfman I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 also a massive thank you to Brandi who has already donated it really means a lot and just so people know the money goes direct to the charity not to me but thanks again everyone 😊
Oh and if anyone is wondering about the challenge it's to do 2022 press-ups across the month of January which amounts to about 66 a day and I know to some people that may not seem a lot but considering at the start of Jan I was struggling to do 10 so it has been quite the challenge but it's worth it
Looks like you need to add a Wolftick logo hoodie or cold weather cycling shirt. Keep in mind that colder weather will reduce the air pressure. Looked like a well performing fork for a low price. I too am wondering about durability. The weight kept the score down. If it weighed 4 pounds (like most air forks), it would have been close to the top.
💯 gotcha man, we do need a different style of hoodie. But a jersey would be tight! Also did not think of cold playing a factor with the air just movement, but that is true. Thanks Lebron
I knew it was going to perform well 😁🤙 I did a bunch of research on it before sending it. Yes Brandi, I'm definitely looking forward to getting my rail, I really need the help on hills. Keep shredding 🤙
Man it is a sweet fork! Thanks again and we really hope it holds up well. When the warm weather gets hear it's gonna be funner to ride this thing! Man I am sure glad you sent it, much love Berserker!
I know it was stupidly cold, but the trails and company were definitely worth it!! Kevin is talking about coming back and riding Iron Mtn, Mt Nebo and of course Northwoods again.
🥶🥶🥶🤣 Much love Brandi, enjoyed it so much from the shopping to the eating to being Frozen!! Lol Thanks for everything and we will have to have a wolftick meetup soon!
I was definitely expecting these forks to perform well and I think they definitely need some rock garden tests at Mt nebo especially in warmer weather!!
Awesome guys that you take the time to ride with some of the wolftick nation! I think you doing those things keeps us watching your channel👍🏼 good review as well.
Hahaha preach! Absolutely agree. When something costs just a fraction but gives performance better than a fraction it becomes a good value. Will this last as long as a fork costing 10 times the money? No, probably not. Does it matter if it lasts for ever at this price? No, not in our opinion. Thanks man👍
🙏😂 Man thank you! It was terribly cold, now Wolfman tells me we may have to film this Sunday in some cold too! 🥶 Man cannot wait till we put the next few patreon vids out! We got an exclusive build! See you there brother👍👍
Man us too, most of the time we take it for what it is but this fork was different, sure there were a few negatives but it worked well. So happy to have these trails man, we picked the right type of channel! Lol Thanks Mr.sendie!!
Great review! Glad Brandy didn't have to drag you back. Sounds like the fork has some good progression. Will be interesting to see its long term performance.
I just sold my trek rail and bought the LUNA Cycles x2 Enduro with 2000 watts. Blows my trek away! As far a cheap forks go, buying slightly used rockshox lyrik is to me the best way to go
Jeremy we saw that earlier today! Sent you a message and man oh man Thank You! So glad you chose to join that party as well🤘🤘 Hope you enjoy it and check them messages! Later Jeremy, see ya on PATREON!! MUCH LOVE
Awhile man thank you Poe! Love to see you hear and I am sure it was because of Brandis APPEARANCE! She is the best, thanks for the comment and the view brother. STAY FROSTY
I was a big fan of what they used to call them upside down forks. Owning the white brothers ud150 they are old but still my favorite look.I’ll be checking to see them in other trails. Harder trails or more tech trail. Plus to see a triple clamp fork from them. I use old bombers and they are great for me.
Nice test. I like the looks of it also and it sounded smooth on the trails you did not hear the bike making a lot of clucking sounds. I think let out 5psi and make the rebound just a bit quicker and it will shine!
Ok - I did it -- clicked subscribe. The number of people you respond too --- is bananas.... This fork is pretty interesting -- seeing that the DNM USD6 is double the cost. I wonder if they are the same. I was sorting your videos by views. This is way up there....... and it is only a few weeks old. It is awesome you are taking on, more and more products ---- my question is ---- can we look forward to a follow up? Thanks and congrats -- looks like you are making it.
Hey thanks for noticing. We plan on a update video for all of the forks sometime this summer. We still need to get plenty of riding time on some of them first. Welcome to the #wolfticknation. Hope we see you around here for a while.👍
#Wolfticknation How amazing was that Special guest star Brandi H and her man riding along with the Tick 💪🏾💯. I’m really looking forward to a long term review on these forks they look so good and from your scoring they feel pretty damn good but they have one of the worst reputation in the budge fork option. Love what you guys have going on over here looking forward to the next one.
Man that's a great comment man, thank you. Brandi and her man were awesome to hang and ride with. Thanks for the comment and the longterm will be very interesting man, see you on the next! Later Brother
Awesome fork! Like the budget RockShox RS1. Working on getting a pic of all our bikes. Youngest brother busted his stock gt headset so were waiting on a Jessica set to get here 💪 when they all thrown back together we'll send a sweet pic of our gts. Y'all gotta see the Slecialized Butcher tires. Super tough looking tires. Dare I say more gnarly than the DHFs I'm running
Great review guys! I was wondering if they would be up there with the Suntour forks or possibly beat them. Brandi, it was good to see you leading the way! You guys let me know when you can make it down to Georgia!
Good to see Brandi absolutely killing you on the trials! Nice work 👍 That's pretty much the permanent weather over here at the moment, not fun. Need to get me one of those fancy jackets 😂 That fork is pretty impressive, I'm glad it performed as well as it did. I'd just be interested to see how it lasts given the reputation of their previous products. Will definitely be donating to Honed Aggressors challenge, we're currently dealing with my Step Dad's alzheimers and it's really hard, a very worthy cause. I'll leave the press ups to him though 😂 Great review as as alway gents, take care and try to stay warm 🍺😎👍
Man Dan, sounds like you are on top of it! Brandi def blew me off the trails!😂 But don't tell anyone! So glad to hear you are going to donate man, thanks for that and sorry to hear about the step dad, that must be difficult for everyone involved. Well Dan enjoy your day and get on that pushup game!🤘🤘😁🍻 Cheers Brother!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Bro, I'm really not on top of anything at the moment😂😂, haven't been out on the bike for ages and my fitness is suffering too, I'll get back on it soon👍. Thanks man, it's hard but we'll just keep doing what we can 🍺
Very scientifical evaluation of that most interesting fork. I love it! Yeah I think 80psi would have been the spot for you Jer. Great video dudes. Can you guess my favorite part of the new intro?
Hi guys great video nice to see you riding with wolf tick nation friends forks don't look to bad lovely cold weather makes you pedal faster to get war lol does me riding to work 👍
Awesome video boys! That fork looked like it performed well, it looked smooth. The one thing I am not too sure about is it’s strength and durability. I believe it is missing a cross brace linking the two stanchions. Those long tubes require more support or they should have made it a triple crown. Just my opinion, not worth much 😳😂. Love the intro also.🤘
Thanks Brother, all opinions are great to read still. Hopefully they live up to the hype so far and last a long time. Gonna be a great update update the time comes, thanks Fernando and see ya Tuesday man.👍👍👍
Guys great video, I couldn't help but notice that they added some slack to that bike with that forward rake. Consider making it a mullet? Seeing it will fit a 29er! Also check your messenger finally got around to sending pics of builds and your merch lol! Love hearing that your going to long term them, I saw a comment that those looked like the DMR version so I researched them. They do look exactly like the DMRs. When reviewing the DMR's I noticed a ton of comments that the DMR version were missing oil in the stations. There is a rebuild video out there (for maintaining those suckers) so you may want to check it out. Hit me up if you need help finding it.
Gotcha X and we will be on the lookout. Did not see anything earlier but we will check! Now regarding the 29er...Man I think it would be great looking but maybe a little crazy as far as the slack goes!! SNAP!
Good review..is this okay to use on a hardtail ebike, mostly ride on trail...and 100kg rider... Cause now use only 100mm travel .. hopping you can give advice...tq.
The fork looks sick on the ardor so it's nice to see that it is working out. Depending on how the torture testing works out I might seriously consider doing a new build with one.
I think Wolfman was right, a little less air would have helped the smalls. It was very impressive watching the fork cam, the dampaning was very smooth looking. The weight is probably the only thing that would keep me from buying one.
Hey, buddies! The video is already a year old but I have a few question about this fork. Is it still in use? Can/would you still recommend this fork? Any problems? I'm considering buying the dual crown DH version of this upside-down fork but I don't know if it's worth the 255 bucks. Most Bolany forks are not that good and I would realy like to see it tested again after one year. Is it still a good fork? Thanks!
Looking forward to the update video!!! Do you have any idea when that will be posted? I'm considering this model for a build. I'm gathering parts and I haven't picked out a fork yet.
great in depth test mate! i think i will buy this bolany inverted (the non inverted is also available for 50 bucks less) but this one seems to be the business for around $150 with free shipping :) ... how much air psi do u recommend pumping into it?
Thank you so much man, it was a fun video and man are these things sweet looking! Appreciate the view and comment, now regarding the air...I weigh 145 and run 80psi but it is for tougher riding, maybe start there and feel it out. Thanks again and hope to see you around more often brother.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ok thanks man. I weigh 160 so will start at 80psi and see how goes, I prob don't ride as hard or do the jumps u do, but Def get into the knarly steep rocky stuff . I'm coming mostly from dirtbiking alot and now converted my bike to electric and going that way. It's fun. Cheers!
Screw all that cold weather come down to Florida you don't even have to bring a bike if you come down to Santos or Croom I got a nice 27.5 specialized Enduro for you to ride
Nice review Sir. May I suggest... try the Weapon Hammer Inverted Air fork it's budget fork but performs way better. Weapon is a Philippine MTB brand. I hope you will take a time to review this Weapon products. Thank you, stay safe Sir. - Jaries
It looks like a really good fork, sadly I can't seem to find this fork anywhere in the UK so guess i will have to wait. As for the Bolany haters well people gonna hate especially if its new and good and cheap and not from one of the over priced elitist brands, there was a time when cheap budget china forks where really bad and dangerous but that was for the most part 7 years ago and they have massively jumped forward, the problem is you have a group of elitist people that hat anything other than the elitist brands that will parrot comments like it breaks or i had one fail or they do not last , which was copied from others that was coped from others, so you have a chain of people copy pasting hate that have never actually used them, even the ones that have used them have questionable comments like one i seen on another video and it was something like " Bolany are terrible and dangerous and will kill, i jumped of a huge hill 6 foot in the air and it snapped " and its like no shiz it failed doing that and i have personally seen top brands doing the same. Stick within the capability of the fork and it is a good buy and i think would last many years with good maintenance Also it is excellent to see someone using an Ebike to get out and enjoy the sport where they otherwise would not be able to, I just wish more trails where more ebike friendly, more and more I am seeing trails throw up the no Ebike signs and i really can't understand why
I see you mention the gopro effect which really is result of fish eye lens, even if you put it in linear you will have some distortion. I reccomend to get PeauPro87 3.37mm lens. But I don't know if it works for Hero10, they have not tested that. But does for Hero 7 Black. Then you can't complain about gopro effect.
Gotcha, we shoot with 4, 7 blacks and a 10. The 10 is too narrow for a chesty or a helmet to set on linear. The audio is the best by far so we will just have to stick with the 10
I'm curious about whether you were catching all the air you usually catch with other real time reviews... it did not seem that way (quiet landings and less travel used)... but you would be the judge of that since you were riding... is the fork just super smooth and absorbs really well, or is it super heavy and therefore the airs were shorter/lower and as a result, impactful???
Man first of all I am glad you asked, the fork performed just like it looked on the screen regardless of my riding style (this video mainly). Now the reason it seemed the hits were not as big and it looked tamed down was, 1 Brandi was there and did not wanna ride to stupid and get as much air as possible then crash and ruin a trip. And 2 it was 25 degrees!!🤣🤣🥶 But all in all we felt taking it on 3 different trails was going to be a great look and feel for everyone considering the situation.
What do these forks weigh in comparison to the factory fork on the Ledge X1? Wanna replace those forks! Cuz that bike needs a weight loss program! (Or I just need to get stronger!) But nevertheless the factory forks are not nearly as nice as the Recons on my old 26er. Just wondering which fork I should go with for the upgrade on the Walgoose. Wanna go a mullet route if feasible. Love how you do some real time reviews!
Well thank you for the comment and the love man. Now get stronger and get a lighter fork!!🤣🤣😎 I would say the Ledge fork is probably similar to the xr pros or the gts, which is like 7-1/2 pounds!
I like your review they are great but you might want to consider shimano hydraulic brakes I have them on my mongoose fat tire bike and they work great I trust them better then the cable brakes.
Hey Patsy, thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the review 👍 We actually have mt200s on our Malus as well. Lol. This bike on the video has them too, we love our Shimano, GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE😎🙏
Sometimes the weight is good though that's an awesome video keep up the good work wolftick ❤️ and wolfman where is Mom at you need to get Mom on the video
Oooh no clue man? Would love to try! Lol i hear dnm makes some....Hey man it looks like we never recieved an email from you?? We looked and looked, please email us again and we will be sure to get you and your boys some stickers, oh and please put Mud Kayak and your name in there too!🤣🤣 Thanks Man
Problem with inverted forks, oil is always against the seals 100% of the time. Marzocchi, stopped making it, but I think Manitou still makes the Dorada
Well we have ran the rockshox on it as well....we reviewed it not that long ago, it is not tapered but it worked fine with the Jessica adapter(sorry jason)
Guys, take into account that the travel ring dissapears into the lowers on the himalo 32 drift, and your inverted Bolany would have ended up in the position you were hoping for lolol 😉
Can you try the weapon animal dual crown fork? Currently using it and it seems fine. I'd like a more comprehensive review about it tho. And bolany here in the Philippines is just notorious for being downright bad, sorry 🤷
Everytime I see this fork I'm taken back to Saturday morning cartoons, "My Bolany has a first name its..." 🤣 Please tell me there was a drag race between the Tick, Wolfman and Brandi?? Like Wolfman suggested, I'd like to see the Bolanys either ran in warmer weather or at a lower PSI to see if the smalls get more action. This is Sloth signing off with a classic from Weird Al "My Bologna"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man Sloth you are the much brother! Saturday cartoons what are you like 50?? Wolfman was like "hell yeah" lol bo clue what the hell you mean🤦♂️ man and totally forgot to Drag Race!!! NOOOOOO!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS oh man, I'm not 50... haha but I'm close to the Captain's Cog's age I think. Wolfman knows what's up! 😀 You guys will just have to meet up again and race in the future!
I'm from the Philippines and to be honest the bad reputation they are saying is because of their own doing. Clearly the fork is only for light trail not for DH but they abuse the fork not even knowing thw limitation of the fork. I have an oil slick bolany and it performs well on trails and it has been through a lot of trails with zero problem because I know it's limits. I'm using an Epixon now on my Giant but I still have the old bike with the bolany still performing and looks well even after a year.
Nice man, glad you give the budget forks a chance as well. It's all about price and limitations, everyone needs to understand that. Thanks for the comment.
Pretty much what i thought they would be like but I think there a cool looking fork . a better mount for them guards would help but very mx style i like it . But also the question on everyone's lips is what was crotch cam strapped to ?
Awesome review. Was good to see real world use because I've heard a lot of s**t talk about the company until now but no demonstrations. If these forks can handle the abuse of your rides they'd probably be fine for the average rider. Toss a BBS02 or BBSHD on Ron Burgundy and it'll easily keep up with those overpriced LBS e-bikes. Admittedly not as refined as a Bosch or Brose motor, but for half the cost (or less) you can build something that would leave an LBS e-bike eating dust. Pardon another shameless e-bike project plug;) Wolf, is that a manual you're driving? If so 👍
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks man, it was fun and the fork handled very well. Now 2 things thank you so much for watching till the end and 2 OF COURSE SAYS THE WOLFMAN, I AINY NO FU🐔NG MILLENIAL!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Wolf, brother from another mother. I still drive a stick too. It's awesome & nobody asks to drive my car (not even my wife & kids). Best "millennial anti-theft system" yet. I wear a hat that says "Real cars don't shift themselves".
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ha!! Just watched the vid and was going to make same comment. Glad you know more about forks than women !! Keep up fantastic work you’re doing! Always a fan.
bringing in a fan in a video was really unexpected
Well hopefully you thought of that as being a good thing👍👍
Inverted forks have to be thru-axle due to the fact there's no fork arch/brace. A quick release inverted fork would be a scary proposition for anyone crazy enough to try it. The axle is performing the job of the missing brace to keep the stanchions parallel. That's also the reason for the dual bolts that tighten down the clamps on the thru-axle, to maintain rigidity.
Gotcha John, it's funny the Wolf told me all about it on our way to the gym👍 There was a few things taken out of the edit I said regarding this and it sounded very dumb!! Lol Thanks man, nice to see ya👍
You guys are amazing thanks for the shout out and yes Wolfman I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 also a massive thank you to Brandi who has already donated it really means a lot and just so people know the money goes direct to the charity not to me but thanks again everyone 😊
Oh and if anyone is wondering about the challenge it's to do 2022 press-ups across the month of January which amounts to about 66 a day and I know to some people that may not seem a lot but considering at the start of Jan I was struggling to do 10 so it has been quite the challenge but it's worth it
More than happy to donate! I do good to do 10 "girls pushups"
Hope it helps such a good cause man, good luck!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS unfortunately either people aren't watching the video all the way to the end or just no one except Brandi wants to donate 😢😭
Cold weather review... Appreciate your commitment. I felt cold for you.
🥶🥶🥶 THANK YOU!
Looks like you need to add a Wolftick logo hoodie or cold weather cycling shirt. Keep in mind that colder weather will reduce the air pressure. Looked like a well performing fork for a low price. I too am wondering about durability. The weight kept the score down. If it weighed 4 pounds (like most air forks), it would have been close to the top.
Seen some vids about that fork and that it breaks easy
💯 gotcha man, we do need a different style of hoodie. But a jersey would be tight! Also did not think of cold playing a factor with the air just movement, but that is true. Thanks Lebron
Brandi has a bad ass bike!! Fork looks sweet!! You all are blessed with a great trail system in your area WolfTick 🤘
Truly Blessed SHOOBY!! The trails are so clean and well maintained. 👌
I knew it was going to perform well 😁🤙 I did a bunch of research on it before sending it. Yes Brandi, I'm definitely looking forward to getting my rail, I really need the help on hills. Keep shredding 🤙
Man it is a sweet fork! Thanks again and we really hope it holds up well. When the warm weather gets hear it's gonna be funner to ride this thing! Man I am sure glad you sent it, much love Berserker!
Thank you for providing the fork! It really does look awesome. You'll have to cone to AR and we can tow Tick up that fireroad!!
Also love the new camera angles and and editing yall have been doing the work yall have been putting in is definitely paying off
Thank you Steve, being that you are an O.G it means alot. 🙏
I know it was stupidly cold, but the trails and company were definitely worth it!! Kevin is talking about coming back and riding Iron Mtn, Mt Nebo and of course Northwoods again.
🥶🥶🥶🤣 Much love Brandi, enjoyed it so much from the shopping to the eating to being Frozen!! Lol Thanks for everything and we will have to have a wolftick meetup soon!
BRANDI YES THANK YOU!!! Jeremiah 100% needs a dropper on the bike! Ron Burgundy is too nice to not have one
We have got one!! Lol maybe next video!! Ha ha and i don't wanna hear it from you! Your opinion would mean way more if you still had the TOYOTA!! 😂😂🤠
Idea for your next hoodie. Wolftick logo on the front again and "I'm not dragging you back" "Brandi Hodges" on the back of the hoodie
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
I was definitely expecting these forks to perform well and I think they definitely need some rock garden tests at Mt nebo especially in warmer weather!!
Ha ha! You got it brother, will happen this summer🤣🤣🤣
"Got Brandy up here smoking me"
"I just hit buttons and sometimes I turn into turbo"
Super awesome guys....happy new year!!!
Right back at ya fellas, royally had to drag me out!!🤣🤣🤣 Golly was it Cold!!
Awesome guys that you take the time to ride with some of the wolftick nation! I think you doing those things keeps us watching your channel👍🏼 good review as well.
Much appreciated Ernesto, glad you keep coming back for more brother.
I like the guest subscriber on the trail with you
Thanks man, she and her husband were great to ride with and she even played camera women.
Love that you guys are reviewing these no name forks :)
Thanks brother, we focus on all things budget!!!
Great video. Like the camera work. Those people hating on Bolany forget it's 200 not 2000. If it rides, ride it like you stole it!
Hahaha preach! Absolutely agree. When something costs just a fraction but gives performance better than a fraction it becomes a good value. Will this last as long as a fork costing 10 times the money? No, probably not. Does it matter if it lasts for ever at this price? No, not in our opinion. Thanks man👍
i'm from wisconsin so I respect that riding out in 25F weather!!
🙏😂 Man thank you! It was terribly cold, now Wolfman tells me we may have to film this Sunday in some cold too! 🥶 Man cannot wait till we put the next few patreon vids out! We got an exclusive build! See you there brother👍👍
I would probably still go with the Judy. Great videos guys.
Thanks brother, Judy's are pretty legit and tough!
I really like the trails out there by you guys! I'm so very interested in this fork still..... So cool and unique! Glad it performed the way it did!!!
Man us too, most of the time we take it for what it is but this fork was different, sure there were a few negatives but it worked well. So happy to have these trails man, we picked the right type of channel! Lol Thanks Mr.sendie!!
Just made the plans a couple of days ago. Heading to Bentonville AR in June 2022. =) Maybe another AR trip later in the summer to Mt Nebo. IDK
Nebo isn't "too far" from Bentonville.
Make it happen! We can be there🤘🤘🤘
I do like my wren fork... I'll have to check these out. Was riding there in hot springs 3 weeks ago.... B4 the cold came.
😁😁 Well LUCKY you!! Lol Give em a look man, thanks for the view and comment.
Great review! Glad Brandy didn't have to drag you back. Sounds like the fork has some good progression. Will be interesting to see its long term performance.
Thank you Chris, now she did drag me back lol, it was all EDITING!! Looking forward to the longterm as well👍 Thanks man
I just sold my trek rail and bought the LUNA Cycles x2 Enduro with 2000 watts. Blows my trek away! As far a cheap forks go, buying slightly used rockshox lyrik is to me the best way to go
For sure man, def an option:) Thanks for the comment and view! Be careful on that Ebike:P
Damn, I think riding in the cold is under 50 and you guys are out there in the 20s, would love to see some more of the wolf tick nation in the videos!
Your damn right it is!! Too cold and thanks for the comment man, def need some more #wolfticknation out there!!
If the covers on fork rub use the soft side of Velcro. It helps it to be quite
👍👍👍
In like 2003 I had a Marzocchi Shiver SC inverted fork on my Schwinn Straight 6. Pretty sig rig back in the day!! Cheers, dudes!
Great review and great commentary while riding on a cold day I hope the fork holds up and Bolany has improved their quality.

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Bro, I'm really not on top of anything at the moment😂😂, haven't been out on the bike for ages and my fitness is suffering too, I'll get back on it soon👍.
Thanks man, it's hard but we'll just keep doing what we can 🍺
Very scientifical evaluation of that most interesting fork. I love it! Yeah I think 80psi would have been the spot for you Jer. Great video dudes. Can you guess my favorite part of the new intro?
Dude science indeed!! Lol Now imma go out on a limb and say...HIMALOOO!!!!???? LOL!!
Looking forward to the ride review of your new fork 🤔
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Correctamundo!!!! I laugh my ass off every Damn time I see you on the ground screaming that word...
HIMALOOOOOOO!
Hi guys great video nice to see you riding with wolf tick nation friends forks don't look to bad lovely cold weather makes you pedal faster to get war lol does me riding to work 👍
Man my thighs were frozen!! Lol Thanks for the comment and so glad you enjoyed the Brandi H sighting🤣🤣🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Awesome video boys! That fork looked like it performed well, it looked smooth. The one thing I am not too sure about is it’s strength and durability.
I believe it is missing a cross brace linking the two stanchions. Those long tubes require more support or they should have made it a triple crown.
Just my opinion, not worth much 😳😂. Love the intro also.🤘
Thanks Brother, all opinions are great to read still. Hopefully they live up to the hype so far and last a long time. Gonna be a great update update the time comes, thanks Fernando and see ya Tuesday man.👍👍👍
Guys great video, I couldn't help but notice that they added some slack to that bike with that forward rake. Consider making it a mullet? Seeing it will fit a 29er! Also check your messenger finally got around to sending pics of builds and your merch lol! Love hearing that your going to long term them, I saw a comment that those looked like the DMR version so I researched them. They do look exactly like the DMRs. When reviewing the DMR's I noticed a ton of comments that the DMR version were missing oil in the stations. There is a rebuild video out there (for maintaining those suckers) so you may want to check it out. Hit me up if you need help finding it.
Gotcha X and we will be on the lookout. Did not see anything earlier but we will check! Now regarding the 29er...Man I think it would be great looking but maybe a little crazy as far as the slack goes!! SNAP!
Good review..is this okay to use on a hardtail ebike, mostly ride on trail...and 100kg rider... Cause now use only 100mm travel .. hopping you can give advice...tq.
Man I would not see why not, I would say I would buy it to put on an ebike....Especially if I was not climbing all the time.
The fork looks sick on the ardor so it's nice to see that it is working out. Depending on how the torture testing works out I might seriously consider doing a new build with one.
Man it seems to good to be true! Lol We shall find out on the longterm this summer!! Think about it! Lol
Just a rebranded DNM USD6, had one on a Kona Scrap,not bad for the money.
Man a few have said that so far as well:) It seems to act the part:) Thanks and I love my kona road bike! Kona has some sweet stuff:)
I think Wolfman was right, a little less air would have helped the smalls. It was very impressive watching the fork cam, the dampaning was very smooth looking. The weight is probably the only thing that would keep me from buying one.
Gotcha man, totally had you in mind when I mentioned people not buying. Thanks Chris H??
Hey, buddies! The video is already a year old but I have a few question about this fork. Is it still in use? Can/would you still recommend this fork? Any problems? I'm considering buying the dual crown DH version of this upside-down fork but I don't know if it's worth the 255 bucks. Most Bolany forks are not that good and I would realy like to see it tested again after one year. Is it still a good fork? Thanks!
Looking forward to the update video!!! Do you have any idea when that will be posted? I'm considering this model for a build. I'm gathering parts and I haven't picked out a fork yet.
Another great video... Didn't you guys rate the Manitou fork? I didn't see it up on the board.
Hey brother, we did not rate it on the budget forks because it was more than$200, but take a look at the $201 and above!!
Can you try a slow motion huck to flat so we can see if or how much the flex?
Man such a good idea, come the update you got it👍
That’s a killer idea!!
That can help the head tube angle seems kinda slack but still have fun
Def helps the dead tube angle!!
great in depth test mate! i think i will buy this bolany inverted (the non inverted is also available for 50 bucks less) but this one seems to be the business for around $150 with free shipping :) ... how much air psi do u recommend pumping into it?
Thank you so much man, it was a fun video and man are these things sweet looking! Appreciate the view and comment, now regarding the air...I weigh 145 and run 80psi but it is for tougher riding, maybe start there and feel it out. Thanks again and hope to see you around more often brother.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ok thanks man. I weigh 160 so will start at 80psi and see how goes, I prob don't ride as hard or do the jumps u do, but Def get into the knarly steep rocky stuff . I'm coming mostly from dirtbiking alot and now converted my bike to electric and going that way. It's fun. Cheers!
Amazing review thank you for sharing godbless
You are welcome. Thank you for the kind words.
Is this "Bolany" Fork the old version of the DNM UDS-6 or Just a copy of the DNM that was released years ago.?
Heard it was just like a dnm?? Not too sure??
Screw all that cold weather come down to Florida you don't even have to bring a bike if you come down to Santos or Croom I got a nice 27.5 specialized Enduro for you to ride
Man that would be awesome! Imma gold you to that🤣🤣🤣🥶
are the wheels on the mongoose thru axel or are you using an adapter for the fork? Or you bought a boost rim?
Hey brother, it's a 27.5 non boost 15x100mm thru axel wheel with a rotor adapter and 2 spacers👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS gotcha thank you! The mongoose is definitely the bike i wish i bought over my GT. Looks good!
any update on this fork???? is it good or buy another? it has many negative reviews here on country :(
It's a little sticky when cold, other then that it's solid man.
15:10 they just look son smooth
👍👍 SMOOTHER THEN EVER!
Nice review Sir. May I suggest... try the Weapon Hammer Inverted Air fork it's budget fork but performs way better. Weapon is a Philippine MTB brand. I hope you will take a time to review this Weapon products. Thank you, stay safe Sir. -

Hey brother, we cannot buy any cannon stuff here in the US, we have tried.....😥
It looks like a really good fork, sadly I can't seem to find this fork anywhere in the UK so guess i will have to wait. As for the Bolany haters well people gonna hate especially if its new and good and cheap and not from one of the over priced elitist brands, there was a time when cheap budget china forks where really bad and dangerous but that was for the most part 7 years ago and they have massively jumped forward, the problem is you have a group of elitist people that hat anything other than the elitist brands that will parrot comments like it breaks or i had one fail or they do not last , which was copied from others that was coped from others, so you have a chain of people copy pasting hate that have never actually used them, even the ones that have used them have questionable comments like one i seen on another video and it was something like " Bolany are terrible and dangerous and will kill, i jumped of a huge hill 6 foot in the air and it snapped " and its like no shiz it failed doing that and i have personally seen top brands doing the same.
Stick within the capability of the fork and it is a good buy and i think would last many years with good maintenance
Also it is excellent to see someone using an Ebike to get out and enjoy the sport where they otherwise would not be able to, I just wish more trails where more ebike friendly, more and more I am seeing trails throw up the no Ebike signs and i really can't understand why
Great comment with some nice points!👍
I see you mention the gopro effect which really is result of fish eye lens, even if you put it in linear you will have some distortion. I reccomend to get PeauPro87 3.37mm lens. But I don't know if it works for Hero10, they have not tested that. But does for Hero 7 Black. Then you can't complain about gopro effect.
Gotcha, we shoot with 4, 7 blacks and a 10. The 10 is too narrow for a chesty or a helmet to set on linear. The audio is the best by far so we will just have to stick with the 10
I'm curious about whether you were catching all the air you usually catch with other real time reviews... it did not seem that way (quiet landings and less travel used)... but you would be the judge of that since you were riding... is the fork just super smooth and absorbs really well, or is it super heavy and therefore the airs were shorter/lower and as a result, impactful???
Man first of all I am glad you asked, the fork performed just like it looked on the screen regardless of my riding style (this video mainly). Now the reason it seemed the hits were not as big and it looked tamed down was, 1 Brandi was there and did not wanna ride to stupid and get as much air as possible then crash and ruin a trip. And 2 it was 25 degrees!!🤣🤣🥶 But all in all we felt taking it on 3 different trails was going to be a great look and feel for everyone considering the situation.
for you which is the best beetween dnm volcano and this?
Man we have never tried the DNM Valcano, but I can say this fork has lasted so far and has been pretty descent.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks,maybe in the future you can try this dnm fork,because it is the most fork mounted on e-bike,
What do these forks weigh in comparison to the factory fork on the Ledge X1? Wanna replace those forks! Cuz that bike needs a weight loss program! (Or I just need to get stronger!) But nevertheless the factory forks are not nearly as nice as the Recons on my old 26er. Just wondering which fork I should go with for the upgrade on the Walgoose. Wanna go a mullet route if feasible. Love how you do some real time reviews!
Well thank you for the comment and the love man. Now get stronger and get a lighter fork!!🤣🤣😎 I would say the Ledge fork is probably similar to the xr pros or the gts, which is like 7-1/2 pounds!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS so that inverted fork would still be an inexpensive upgrade that would also shed some pounds? Woo-hoo!
love the videos.....GO DAWGS. ;)
WOO PIG SOOIE!! But Georgia did look mighty fine!! GO DAWGS! ABOUT TIME ALABAMA IS NOT IN THERE🤣😉
I like your review they are great but you might want to consider shimano hydraulic brakes I have them on my mongoose fat tire bike and they work great I trust them better then the cable brakes.
Hey Patsy, thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the review 👍 We actually have mt200s on our Malus as well. Lol. This bike on the video has them too, we love our Shimano, GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE😎🙏
Sometimes the weight is good though that's an awesome video keep up the good work wolftick ❤️ and wolfman where is Mom at you need to get Mom on the video
Lol Grandma will make a debut soon:) Thanks Willard and sometimes heavier is better!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ❤️
As AVE would say - that’s some high grade Chinesium
😂 HIGH GRADE INDEED!! Glad you enjoyed brother.
Has the Ron Burgundy with the bolony fork taking over favorite spot from the GT aggressor pro
😁😁😁😁😁 Man oh man........don't put me in that position!
maybe?😉
Widelec prezentuje się świetnie, ale czy wytrzyma jazdę Trail/enduro? Producent zaznaczył, że jest to widelec do XC.
Man, not sure about long-term durability, but they are doing pretty good so far.
Im curious if you think it would work on a 26?
O think it would, I wanna say it advertised as a 27.5 or a 26er....
wouldnt it work with any size? considering it has no arch
Crotch cam is engaged!
Sounds like something from my Tinder hook-up 😂
Can some1 send me a link from were I can order microshift acolyte or advent 9 in Europe. I can't find them in stock anywhere.
Love your channel man !
Man hopefully someone can help...
Would love to start seeing Fox and Rockshox building inverts or do they already?
Oooh no clue man? Would love to try! Lol i hear dnm makes some....Hey man it looks like we never recieved an email from you?? We looked and looked, please email us again and we will be sure to get you and your boys some stickers, oh and please put Mud Kayak and your name in there too!🤣🤣 Thanks Man
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS but Rs-1 was the only reversed fork they made in recent years. And it's an expensive fork.
Problem with inverted forks, oil is always against the seals 100% of the time. Marzocchi, stopped making it, but I think Manitou still makes the Dorada
Where did you buy this fork?
Hey brother, it was sent tonis by BERSERKER Nick! Not sure we're he bought it from....maybe aliexpress??
I have this bike and I need to upgrade the forks
Well we have ran the rockshox on it as well....we reviewed it not that long ago, it is not tapered but it worked fine with the Jessica adapter(sorry jason)
Guys, take into account that the travel ring dissapears into the lowers on the himalo 32 drift, and your inverted Bolany would have ended up in the position you were hoping for lolol 😉
😁😁 man that and a 1/2 lb lighter!! Lol Thanks Neil
man, it's way too cold out lol. Wonder what times Ron Burgundy is going to turn with this fork
Imma go with a WHOLE LOT FASTER!! Def gotta run her this summer👍 Waaaaaay to damn cold!!
Can you try the weapon animal dual crown fork? Currently using it and it seems fine. I'd like a more comprehensive review about it tho. And bolany here in the Philippines is just notorious for being downright bad, sorry 🤷
Not a problem man, you know we would love to try the weapon stuff but we cannot buy it here....
Everytime I see this fork I'm taken back to Saturday morning cartoons, "My Bolany has a first name its..." 🤣 Please tell me there was a drag race between the Tick, Wolfman and Brandi??
Like Wolfman suggested, I'd like to see the Bolanys either ran in warmer weather or at a lower PSI to see if the smalls get more action.
This is Sloth signing off with a classic from Weird Al "My Bologna"
We should have raced...Wolfman on the scooter, Tick on bike and me on emtb. I think Wolfman would smoke us!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man Sloth you are the much brother! Saturday cartoons what are you like 50?? Wolfman was like "hell yeah" lol bo clue what the hell you mean🤦♂️ man and totally forgot to Drag Race!!! NOOOOOO!!
@@brandihodges9548 HaHa, that would have been great, you'll have to meet up again and have a race.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS oh man, I'm not 50... haha but I'm close to the Captain's Cog's age I think. Wolfman knows what's up! 😀 You guys will just have to meet up again and race in the future!
@@slothsquatch5023 I'm approaching 50...age is only a #
I'm from the Philippines and to be honest the bad reputation they are saying is because of their own doing. Clearly the fork is only for light trail not for DH but they abuse the fork not even knowing thw limitation of the fork. I have an oil slick bolany and it performs well on trails and it has been through a lot of trails with zero problem because I know it's limits. I'm using an Epixon now on my Giant but I still have the old bike with the bolany still performing and looks well even after a year.
Nice man, glad you give the budget forks a chance as well. It's all about price and limitations, everyone needs to understand that. Thanks for the comment.
remember pringles the creeper from da trails
Hahaha got it.👍
Pretty much what i thought they would be like but I think there a cool looking fork . a better mount for them guards would help but very mx style i like it . But also the question on everyone's lips is what was crotch cam strapped to ?
Probably some low hanging fruit lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Crotch Cam!! Lol you had me crying brother lol....Man that will remain a secret but so happy you enjoyed and thank you for the best comment yet!
Nice MTBikeing
Thanks Kenneth, it was a little difficult in 25degree weather! Lol
Whats the fork offset on this?
2:24 they and button up shirts are made that way so it's easier for your servants to dress you
Haha well I don't know anyone that has servants, but I'll take your word for it😉. Thanks
So how did Wolfman survive the Wooden Spoon?
🤣🤣 Well he is still here but he does limp! Lol
Damn dude… you got boxer’s ears. You used to box, kick box? My ears are the same from many years of boxing
All no gi jiu jitsu!! Since I was 7 I have been competing. I now teach, train and coach. Yes I did fight professionally as well 👍🏼
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 💯 👊 💪
Awesome review. Was good to see real world use because I've heard a lot of s**t talk about the company until now but no demonstrations. If these forks can handle the abuse of your rides they'd probably be fine for the average rider.
Toss a BBS02 or BBSHD on Ron Burgundy and it'll easily keep up with those overpriced LBS e-bikes. Admittedly not as refined as a Bosch or Brose motor, but for half the cost (or less) you can build something that would leave an LBS e-bike eating dust. Pardon another shameless e-bike project plug;)
Wolf, is that a manual you're driving? If so 👍
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks man, it was fun and the fork handled very well. Now 2 things thank you so much for watching till the end and 2 OF COURSE SAYS THE WOLFMAN, I AINY NO FU🐔NG MILLENIAL!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Wolf, brother from another mother. I still drive a stick too. It's awesome & nobody asks to drive my car (not even my wife & kids). Best "millennial anti-theft system" yet. I wear a hat that says "Real cars don't shift themselves".
Braaaaaap! Yamaha born! KTM kept!
It still looks like a DNM fork copy!
🤣🤣🤣
Try also Weapon Cannon 35 airfork pls. Thanks
Man that would be awesome if we could....
I think I saw AARON GWIN testing forks like these.
Interesting. But defenitly not this brand. 😁
Was that in real life?
I can't see anything about it in magazines or his Instagram.
Really!?! Was it on RUclips?
where is xfusion trace in review rating
It was in the $201-$400 category. Here is the link to that video.

Left hand zipper is typically a woman’s style zipper or button setup.

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Who knows, bad batch from manufacturing (men’s size, women’s zip up)?
