I really enjoy your videos. Not too long ago I was homeless with nothing. I worked hard and now stay in a Motel but can't get out. I have to pay for my room, food and everything on unemployment. Haven't worked all year and the Books are full at the Hiring Hall. Watching your videos brings my spirits up and my escape is jumping on my MTB and cruising the neighborhood and soon hitting the trails! You inspired me to get riding again. Thank you.
Man that is awesome:) So cool you climbed your way out! Thank you for the motivation in return brother, enjoy the bike and get out there and ride! Thanks man💙💙
Another classic Wolftick episode! The perspectives that you present on the products you review are thoroughly helpful. That being said, you're actually providing a public service in that we now know what to expect when purchasing any of these products. The high level of entertainment value is a bonus! Now, as others have commented, you really do need to look into the Manitou Markhor. I have this fork on both of my bikes. Installed 2 years ago. Yes, unquestionably, the reverse arch is horrible looking! However, the damn thing works, and works well. Easy adjustments, light weight, yet, very durable. Did I mention it's ugly as a mud fence? Smaller diameter stanchions, rebuild able platform, and a pleasant ride when dialed in properly. The reverse arch may do whatever Manitou says it does,(keeps seals cleaner, supposedly stronger design than front arch?, etc.), the fact remains, IT DON'T LOOK RIGHT! In my case, I try to not look at it, but, it is what it is. I highly reccomend it for performance, not so much on appearance.
Man oh man thank you so much and it is UGLY!! HA HA JUST MIGHT HAVE TO GET IT!! LOL You may have buttered me up enough and sold me on it!! Ha ha thanks for your awesome comments man.
I love the Suntour Epixon 120 on my son's 27.5 Giant. One thing to consider in the future is whether a fork can be rebuilt. The Epixon, Judy, and Enix can all be rebuilt, i believe. Where as a lot of budget forks cannot. Food for thought. Great video!
For sure man, love that kind of thinking and fork looked good on the Viewers Rides submission! Maybe oneday we will try and extend the travel:) Thanks for commenting Lance!
So i just watched your video again. Your fork rating system is really good! Its good because its specific about what aspects of the fork rate good and bad, not just a overall placement among other forks. Also the fact that you care about reacting to all your comments. There are channels ive stopped commenting on because they never reply. Audience interaction is a big asset for you guys! I do miss the intros were your driving somewhere in the truck, though, but you guys have so much content going on i can understand why you dont do that anymore.
Hey thanks for that Chris. Interactions with our audience was something that we wanted to focus on once we committed to the whole budget bike concept. Our vision was to be the anchor of a large community of like minded enthusiasts who can appreciate each others enjoyment of a fun and healthy activity without judgement of what they ride and how many thousands of dollars they spent on their bike. We vowed to do our best to answer every question or comment the best that we can and sometimes that means nights that go into the morning, but that's what we signed up for. We are happy that you found us and no matter how big our channel gets all of our favorites people of the #wolfticknation will continue to get full attention. So don't worry about us growing and changing, we will always be us saying dumb stuff and talking nonsense😂. We will have more of our conversations in the truck soon now that it's warmer weather and we go out and do more outdoors. Thanks for being you Chris and for being a big part of the #wolfticknation.🥰😁
I just got the suntour epixion 100mm travel installed on my GT Aggressor Pro this week. Going to try to test it this weekend. Thanks for the video! Can't wait to get it out! #WolftickNationRulz!
Awesome man! Thank you for watching and being apart of #WOLFTICKNATION! Now be sure and warm them babys up first! LOL LEt us know what you think! Have fun man, we are hoping to take the AXUM DP out and get a realtime review! See you TUESDAY!!
Thank you once again man! TOTALLY SCIENTIFIC! Knew you would love the intro, it really takes someone being all in and that someone is YOU! Appreciate you brother
Epixon has a great reputation here in the philippnes, Its even called a poor man’s fox 32. Another great video man, i wish your channel will grow even more.
Thats funny and good to hear man, I look forward to a partial season with it:) I love the designs and function. Thank you for the awesome content and we appreciate you watching!!
🤣🤣🤪🤪 Man we have fun with those who help support us, thanks for being here and being a great sport brother, WOOF WOOF! Vejo vocês na TERÇA-FEIRA para nosso segmento de correspondência !! Vai ser ótimo :)
Tick, I am impressed by the consistency of your scoring, as if you are being technically objective, LOL... Kidding aside, I am impressed! Love your banter, BTW, you guys are too funny, it keeps me coming back.
@Al Locke Hopefully our channel continues to grow so we can quit some of our jobs and put more time into the channel. We would love to have the problem of having to deal with hundreds more commentators if that means we were successful at growing our channel. Don't worry we will always make sure to take extra time for those who were there when we were just a little channel😉😂. Thanks Al👍
@baron1c That was the first night that we didn't clear out the comments, but by the time we got done with the last video it was like 3am and we had to get up at 7:30. We hope to get this big enough to quite some of our other jobs so we can focus on this channel and Jiu-Jitsu only. Thanks for being so understanding👍.
A lot people forget about SR Suntour, their higher end stuff it preety good. My 28mm XCE has had no issues with no care torwards it for almost 2 years on rough trails, it doesn't have any fancy features, but it works, I think when i upgrade my fork I will get the Epixion
Wow two years sounds like a winner to us. One of the problems we now face is that we have so many projects going on that no one bike or fork will ever receive the wrath that the Lutu's did when we just had a few bikes. Not sure that we will be able to do much in the way of long term durability tests, well unless we get into racing. Between you and us we have considered possibly entering some races this summer. By the way here some more inside info😂 we got a email from Walmart this afternoon saying they had some XR Pro's in stock so we ordered one 🤫🤣. Thanks man👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS whaha I have considered racing but I won’t have my bike the entire summer so not this summer, that will be cool to see the X-ray pro again
Spitting out of the nose already holy mackerel Ha Ha ha ha what are you guys are starting to do decimal points now 4.3 and stuff wow we’re getting Technical now guys awesome video hey be sure to tell all the ladies wolftic people in your lives happy Mother’s Day this weekend from Jack and Dan too!!!!
Hey man we will let them know for sure👍. Jeremiah had me going pretty good on that night. Did you catch him using y'all's fanny pack for his cb and some parts on this vid? It worked out great since he don't like a backpack on his back. Thanks again for the gifts fellas.🤘
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah dude that’s totally rad actually so many people make comments about them when we gave them to the guys at OFR and then they saw the video where we gave you guys that we think we’re going to make them our 12 K giveaway gift because we have a video coming up on that soon we’re only about 100 away so that’ll be super fun I hope you guys have an awesome weekend!!!!
@Jack and Dan Dude that's awesome y'all are about to hit 12k. I think that's a great giveaway item! We love ours and watch them make a total comeback because of you two.🤣🤘🤘 Have a great rest of the weekend.👍
Man they are pretty sweet and have rated pretty high, thank you for watching and we do have affiliate links in the videos description:) AFFILIATE LINK-ebay.us/uHfX8k
This fork will get my 26” Pivot Mach 5 that requires a straight steerer, back on the trail. I converted the front wheel to 27.5 a while ago but the Fox bridge clearance is a too tight for my liking. Happy to hear this well thought out review….thankyou.
Hi🙋! New subscriber here💞,After watching a couple of ur video. I definitely love it👍, Compare to other Cycling Ytuber ur Content is Transparent and honest(Unique, Detailed and well spoken). I feel like im growing little by Like by watching it. You guys are rocking it🤟.
Well welcome to the #wolfticknation and thank you so much for subscribing. The comment was awesome and very inspiring, hope to see you around more often. Thanks again Migo!!
I believe you have the 2018 Suntour Epixon. I just installed the a 2020 Suntour Epixon with manual lock on my GT Aggressor Pro. If you check the pressure chart on the manual the fork should be set between 90 to 110 psi for riders over 140 lb. I am riding 110 psi with the rebound set to the halfway position and it feels good. Try playing with the pressures. The Suntour Epixon is designed for XC so it is not very plush for pedaling efficiency.
Haha hell yea I completely agree with the score!! Those forks look sick and I love the lock out switch it looks awesome! It’s fine man take your time To respond!
Hey thanks man! Yeah we over did it this week with 4 videos and two other jobs, one full time and one part time plus a 2 hour round trip commute 4 days a week. We had to take a night off from comments (the first one since we started) because it was already 3am when we finally got done with the last video and we had to get up at 7:30am for work. Thanks for your understanding but we should be good now.🥰😂
Huge coincidence, I've just swapped out my Epixon damper for the upgraded version and went for a remote lockout this morning. Looking forward to trying it out over weekend!
@@jamieh4814 It's the damper from the Axon with low speed compression adjustment. The part number is FUN073-11 for 26 & 27.5 wheels and FUN073-21 for 29ers... It's a ten minute job to fit it.
Nice review!!! It's very sensitive to adjustments. I like that. I get to experiment a lot. lol. 140 mm might be too much for the GT. 120 mm seems to be just fine. I thought that you'd like it. :)
Just ordered a 27.5 120mm Epixon with remote minutes ago. My Giant Talon 3 only comes with a stock Suntour XCE. I'm so excited because here in the Philippines Suntour is always out of stock especially the Epixon because of the price and quality. I love your videos guys keep up the great work. PS try the Bolany Ironman fork.
hELLO I have a few question about this fork : It does cracking sound ??? In first 1-2cm of travel ... My auron rc2 pcs / raidon did it and it was so annoying ... Do you recommend to change the vaseline in lowers for oil ??? Or the patrone could get oil from lowers and lost the travel ??? Or let it with vaseline from factory and just ride it... One another question is what about in cold temperatures ??? There is about 0 Celsius and sometimes a little bit below .. not extreme cold but my brand new fork ( XCM) is getting stiff under 5 C ... It goes so bad, like lockout is activated but it isnt ... What performance in cold is at epixon ? Thanks
Hello and thank you for viewing, now we would not recommend anything other than the manafacturuer suggests. But our fork does not make a "cracking noise" Maybe just add more oil because maybe you have lost too much oil and they are dry and sticky? As far as performance in cold, the Epixon I have yet to ride in the cold man, it seemed to do very well last year but requires little maintenece, maybe you should try?
Born and raised right in the heart of Chicago... love you Tick, but you could never be from the 'hood. You can get some honorary ghetto cred for biking on a budget though. As kids we had to have bikes that could handle all kinds of urban landscapes, and we had some of the earliest big box store mountain bikes. Once we had some decent builds, we found some trails outside of the city. A couple decades later I'm now a little further north in Pewaukee, Wisconsin (sounds like Milwaukee with "Pee") and the son and I have a couple GT's (old Zaskar, new Aggressor) and endless miles of trails.
Man I am straight up GANGSTER!! Ill cap a fool real quick, you can believe dat:) HA HA No cred whatsoever ha ha Very cool you are an oldschool dude! Appreciate the coffees and your STICKERS ARE ON THE WAY!!
We gotcha covered with that and we are also going to link the under $200 dollar forks ratings video. Spoiler alert!!...they are a great fork😉😆. ruclips.net/video/hF4UL2zRpKU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/dHpfOEbwkAo/видео.html
Hey guys, I appreciate you’re channel and reviews! I’m squarely in the budget category as I’m rebuilding an old Rockhopper... you guys keep it real👍👍👍 I’m going for this one
Hey! I know this is an older video. Was just wondering if you have tested the rockshox recons silver yet? And how they would compare to these. Between these 2 right now. Thanks so much!
Just got back from a mornings ride and there's a Wolftick Video, happy days!! 👍😎😁 Man, that coffee shout outs was funny, one of the best yet 😂😂, but Wolfman drinking water... What is going on? 😂 That trail looks amazing and you were flying down it, looked like fun! I want a go 👍 Love your "scientific" scoring system, makes it really easy to see what's and good what's sh*t. Great video as always guys, keep up the good work 😎🍻👍🇬🇧
Man he said he was to worn out to DRINK!! HA HA It was like two in the morning while we were filming, these last two weeks have been very difficult, I work full time then I leave work and teach an hour kids class then an adult hour class and then I train all at a gym an hour away!So when we film it is LATE!! Then not to mention editing everything and going through footage:) Oneday though Dan we will be full time man, thats the plan, dad says we have got to grind now no matter how late it is when answering comments and it will pay off. Thank you for helping us achieve that dream man-all of #WOLFTICKNATION-yeah so thats why dad was not drinking!! LOL!!!!
Hey guys awesome video!! How hard is this fork to install? I’m thinking about putting it on my polygon sisku D5. If you buy it with that lock out switch that you put on your bars do you have to use it? Or can still just use it like a normal lock out or yeah do you have to use that cable? Thanks guys
Morning Tick. Lol. In your opinion what is the best budget fork to buy for the money. I'm doing a 2004 Cannondale Jekyll build and looking for suggestions. At least 120mm travel. It will be 26" wheels. Old School!!!
Nice video, always like the epixon fork for budget. Future video idea the cane creek 40 series bearings allows you to run a tapered fork on a straight 1 1/8 headset by moving the bearing to the outside of the frame. Going to do it on my buddies giant talon 3 . Seeing as there are far more budget tapered forks in the used market. it might be something to look into for the GT bike .🙂
Not a bad idea but is the cane creek the one were you will need a 44mm headtube? If so the GT is 34mm...Would love to but what about the headset ups that give you more slack!
Just ordered this fork for my new (to me) 2020 Trek Marlin 7 29er.... Just wondering what size tire you're running on that fork and if a 2.35 will fit up front? PS, very thankful for your channel!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS think it sucks that the official website doesn't offer straight tube forks anymore..forced to buy the Enix on eBay and their x32evo on aliexpress
Excellent review!!! I got a Diamondback Atroz 1 and I'm looking to upgrade the stock coil fork. I am still debating between this Suntour Epixon and the Manitou Markhor. The Manitou is $50 cheaper but is 30mm Stanchion vs the 32mm on the Epixon (which I saw you actually mentioned to feel a difference). Which one would you recommend for me? I'm am on the lighter weight (135 lbs) and this is my first MTB! Thank you!
Well thank you Ricardo, since we do not recommend I will tell you what I would pick;) If I were say 135lbs?? I would go with the Suntour man, the Manitou although cheaper has those tiny stanchions and they not only feel weird but sound different. The backwards a$$ arch is strange too, the suntours are a beefy fork for the money brother:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Great!! I just ordered the Epixon... I hope I can get it by the end of the week and try it over the weekend!! Thank you for all the dedication you put in your channel and content!! PS: Have you considered doing a review of those budget DNM rear shocks? I am thinking on upgrading the rear shock next!!
@Ricardo Fonseca Hey thanks man! We are so glad you found our channel. Hopefully you get the fork soon man. We have indeed considered doing a review of those budget DNM rear shocks😉😆. ruclips.net/video/vJZwvkxV8FI/видео.html
Question for u boys I have a 2020 gt aggressor pro and need a new rear rim. I’m having a hard time figuring out what size I need to get plz help! Keep up the work fellas!
Well is it a 27.5 and here is a link for an affordable rear wheel:) its what we run on a few of our bikes!! Here is an affiliate link brother:)ebay.us/WIldT2
Science + Technology = Wolftick I can't wait to get my Wolftick Videos TopCap!!!! Hurry up and figure out how to rig this giveaway so I won't need to storm your HQ. 😅⚓👍
LOL!!! First of all its the COMPOUND!! HA HA TOPCAPS def we need to figure out but.....just wait til you see our new stickers!! HOLY SH** EL CAPITAN!!!! VERY SCIENTIFICALLY OBSTRUCTED AND LITHOGRAPHED!!
I think you are the first person to notice that😂. The reason we never scored it or included it in the ratings system/white board is because we have just done the $200 and under budget forks so far. We actually will be rating a new category of forks this summer that will be the next tier. It will be the $350 dollars and below class. Make sure your subscribed and your notifications are on. Thanks man 👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Oh okay cool. Looking forward to it. If guess the rockshox recon will be in that group as well. For someone that is looking at upgrading now which would you recommend the recon silver or the trace? Thanks!
@deentml89 What Jeremiah meant to say is that we don't recommend stuff. We test stuff out and talk about how we like it or not but we don't really recommend anything😂. I'm sure you will be pleased with your purchase once you get to use them.👍 Sorry for the confusion, Jeremiah has been hit in the head a lot🤣.
Man have not tried the Recon Silvers but both Suntours we have tried and reviewed seem to be pretty damn good in the bigs and smalls. Very light and still rebuild able. Rockshox seen to be a little heavier sometimes.
Markhor Review: ruclips.net/video/FuSTkp4pDI0/видео.html Epixon Review: ruclips.net/video/hF4UL2zRpKU/видео.html The Markhor is a 9mm qr and I believe one of the Epixons are 9mm as well. Hope this helps.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS i watched a lot of Videos from you guys. The reason why im asking is i cant understand from videos how does it feel , why is this fork better etc... So i want answer and im trusting your opinion :) Greetings from Germany
Love the reviews and rating system 😂. Can’t decide between going with the Rockshox Judy or Suntour Epixon for my aggressor lol. Assuming you would suggest the Epixon over the Judy right? I’m personally not a fan of the decals on the suntour but there’s a blacked out version on eBay I’d get but it’s $260 lol
I have that one but I got it for a cheaper price. $229 or so. It's the same exact fork minus the paint decals. Glossy black. Parts are difficult to get right now. Mine was shipped from the factory in Taiwan. Rode a Judy. It has a different feel.
LOL Finger nail polish is pretty cheap!! HA HA But I would say I like the Epixon more than the Rockshox yes, in a VERY VERY scientific way of course!!🤣🤣🤣 Spend the $200 and get some decals!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Haha very true, I’ll try and find the Epixon in stock then! Thanks guys, will prob send in my aggressor for viewers rides at some point too
Possibly the epixons? The older one preferably, the Compzerker build we put it on and it has 140mm of travel and is beefy as hell! That may suit you well. There is an affiliate link in the description. Thanks man
I think Suntour has an upgrade program so the epixon would be a great upgrade to replace a crappy ten year old coil fork . And the Clarks M2 brakes get a tick of approval. My custom build is coming along very well at the moment . 😎👍
Not sure what you are asking. This fork is a 120mm Epixon. Are you talking about one like on the Comp-Zerker? If so I believe they do since everyone says the 140mm that we have on the Comp-Zerker is a 120mm that's been modified. Hope this is what you were asking.
Hey bro just got this fork but dosent feel smooth, when I put rebound slow feels hard but when I turn up the rebound fast is smooth but to fast. Is it because haven't used yet or something?
Hey brotheri would say play with the pressure and find the sweet spot. Sounds like you have got too much air in it. Set the sag to around 25% of the overall travel. Sit on it and the fork should soak up about 25% of the stanchion.
Man epixon for price is hard to beat, they are very smooth and have rated pretty high on our board. I would choose another set of epixons! Very good in the bigs and the smallls
man I could not tell you, the forks have no graph so......I would just trial and error it. The initial impressions video I believe tells what they were shipped t and the amount we ran thru them.
It's not cool encouraging dad to drink! Smoking would be less of a problem when you make him laugh and and blow smoke out his nose;) That looks like a great set up. GT makes good stuff and the Epixion seems to take take it to another level. Ride on & enjoy;)
wow, i never thought it may fit that big tyre width but thank you so much for this one, i am planning on >= 2.4 inch width on the frame and the fork so this helps a lot
Well Marco I'm not sure we are qualified to do any skills/how to type videos since we are not really that good of riders. Maybe one of these days Jeremiah will get good enough to maybe make a skills segment. Maybe a beginners how to or something? Thanks man!👍
Good videos! Have you guys thought about doing dolomite alx fatty review/upgrade? And it would.be super cool to see Wolfman in thug life during eBay drink 🍸😎.
Thought about it yes, not too sure if we will pull the trigger since we got the Malus but.....maybe? I do love that it is aluminum! That is cool as hell:)
Man we have tried the Bucklos,the Rockshox Recon RL and the Trace RC 34mm-all in all I feel the Traces are the best, but the most expensive....Rockshox were about $230ish?? Not bad at all! Just tapered which is kind of a bummer. The bucklos though not too bad for the money I mean $110! here is an affiliate link :) ebay.us/HPFwUl
Looks like it my be for now man, there are rockshox out there that have a straight steerer and a quick release but those will run you about $230 and up
Another great video guys 👍🏻👍🏻 I know it’s a little more expensive, but have you considered doing a review on the Manitou Markhor? Also how do I submit pics for Readers Rides, sent some on Facebook messenger?
Hey thanks bill. Send pics and bike info to our email. Yeah the Manitou is popular, but like you said a little more expensive. All of our scoring is done on $200 and below thus far. We might make a over $200 dollar category but it will be up against some stiff competition like the Trace RC34 from X-Fusion, the Rockshox Recon RL, and the X-Fusion RC32 because we own all of these.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS this would be great! I was wondering why you did not have that scoring or rating for the Recon RL. Altho just to ask since you have ridden an Epixon and Recon RL, how do they compare with each other? Are they totally on a different level or the Epixon can compete with a Recon RL? Thanks and more power!
@Carlo Guttierres We have a ton of videos and it is hard to find the right ones, so here are a few that should help you. ruclips.net/video/IjPV-q28Qf0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/MbLN2nlo6oQ/видео.html
Hey guys! I really enjoy watching your videos. I’m thinking about buying a new bike and it comes with a Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork on it, I was wondering if you guys could try this fork out. I’m really curious on how it would stack up against some of the others that you have tried out. Have a great weekend!
Man thank you for having so much trust in our opinions!! Lol I do understand we are pretty scientific and all ha ha but man that fork is like $500, i dont think we can swing that on a fork brother. Iys still a little much. What about a trace rc34 by X-Fusion? Its about $200 cheaper and is an amazing fork.
I believe it can, not too sure how it is to be done but, man I would research. Apparently the 100mm forks are the same as the 140mm-so that would lead me to believe it is possible.
Hey guys just got this fork. There is a sound that comes out when I congress it with my hands because haven't installed. It feels kind of loose. Is it normal
Hey brother, either the rebound is so slow it is causing the noise which is normal or it needs air, but it should feel solid on the bike when you mount it. 😉 And will still have a slight noise due to air being compressed
Hey Alex that is a Goodyear Escape 27.5 X 2.6-That is my favorite tire. It is tubeless compatible as well but we run tubed. Here is an affiliate link:) ebay.us/MKDfkO
Haha, guy riding UP a one way downhill run... I got lost once and rode downhill on a one way uphill trail. If your going to break rules, it should make things easier, or more fun right?
Compton is still ghetto. However, Los Angeles is HUGE so there are people or all races spread out every where. But once you go east of the i5, it is far less diverse. Cool vid though.
I really enjoy your videos. Not too long ago I was homeless with nothing. I worked hard and now stay in a Motel but can't get out. I have to pay for my room, food and everything on unemployment. Haven't worked all year and the Books are full at the Hiring Hall. Watching your videos brings my spirits up and my escape is jumping on my MTB and cruising the neighborhood and soon hitting the trails! You inspired me to get riding again. Thank you.

So i just watched your video again. Your fork rating system is really good! Its good because its specific about what aspects of the fork rate good and bad, not just a overall placement among other forks. Also the fact that you care about reacting to all your comments.

I do miss the intros were your driving somewhere in the truck, though, but you guys have so much content going on i can understand why you dont do that anymore.

Hey thanks JavyJav🥰🤣👍
Don’t worry about our comments dudes! We understand you got lives. Keep doing your thing!
That's what I was thinking...especially when the channel gains more followers.
@Al Locke Hopefully our channel continues to grow so we can quit some of our jobs and put more time into the channel. We would love to have the problem of having to deal with hundreds more commentators if that means we were successful at growing our channel. Don't worry we will always make sure to take extra time for those who were there when we were just a little channel😉😂. Thanks Al👍
@baron1c That was the first night that we didn't clear out the comments, but by the time we got done with the last video it was like 3am and we had to get up at 7:30. We hope to get this big enough to quite some of our other jobs so we can focus on this channel and Jiu-Jitsu only. Thanks for being so understanding👍.
A lot people forget about SR Suntour, their higher end stuff it preety good. My 28mm XCE has had no issues with no care torwards it for almost 2 years on rough trails, it doesn't have any fancy features, but it works, I think when i upgrade my fork I will get the Epixion
Wow two years sounds like a winner to us. One of the problems we now face is that we have so many projects going on that no one bike or fork will ever receive the wrath that the Lutu's did when we just had a few bikes. Not sure that we will be able to do much in the way of long term durability tests, well unless we get into racing. Between you and us we have considered possibly entering some races this summer. By the way here some more inside info😂 we got a email from Walmart this afternoon saying they had some XR Pro's in stock so we ordered one 🤫🤣. Thanks man👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS whaha I have considered racing but I won’t have my bike the entire summer so not this summer, that will be cool to see the X-ray pro again
Awesome man! We look forward to it:)
Another WT vid! Dang. Haha this is becoming a daily routine. Much love from the Philippines.
Hey thanks for the love🥰😂👍. We are completely wore out man.🤪
I come for the science, stay for the booze.
Definitely a SR Suntour fan, especially the Epixon.
🤣🤣🤣 VERY WELL STATED!! Thanks Lost Trail, appreciate them coffees man. So thankful for ya man:) Have a drink for the WOLFMAN!
Spitting out of the nose already holy mackerel Ha Ha ha ha what are you guys are starting to do decimal points now 4.3 and stuff wow we’re getting Technical now guys awesome video hey be sure to tell all the ladies wolftic people in your lives happy Mother’s Day this weekend from Jack and Dan too!!!!
Hey man we will let them know for sure👍. Jeremiah had me going pretty good on that night. Did you catch him using y'all's fanny pack for his cb and some parts on this vid? It worked out great since he don't like a backpack on his back. Thanks again for the gifts fellas.🤘
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah dude that’s totally rad actually so many people make comments about them when we gave them to the guys at OFR and then they saw the video where we gave you guys that we think we’re going to make them our 12 K giveaway gift because we have a video coming up on that soon we’re only about 100 away so that’ll be super fun I hope you guys have an awesome weekend!!!!
@Jack and Dan Dude that's awesome y'all are about to hit 12k. I think that's a great giveaway item! We love ours and watch them make a total comeback because of you two.🤣🤘🤘 Have a great rest of the weekend.👍
:39 seconds in and I'm already dying. You guys rock.
Hahaha thanks man! There is plenty of that on our channel hahaha.
thanks for reviewing the Epixon 120, I think I will order one from ebay. Suntour is a decent brand.
Man they are pretty sweet and have rated pretty high, thank you for watching and we do have affiliate links in the videos description:)
AFFILIATE LINK-ebay.us/uHfX8k
Dang, that was a tight score! Nice review bruthers! Everyone's favorite segment is my favorite segment.
Now that is what we like to hear!! LOL Thanks Joshua-Next Video-DISC GOLF!! We are all caught up now on the rules:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Hell Yeah!! Disc golf video time! 😂
16:32 thanks for the mention man, I love the remote
For sure dude, Had it during the ride as well just sounded like crap:) Thanks for the opinion and watching all of our videos man:)
This fork will get my 26” Pivot Mach 5 that requires a straight steerer, back on the trail. I converted the front wheel to 27.5 a while ago but the Fox bridge clearance is a too tight for my liking. Happy to hear this well thought out review….thankyou.
Possibly the best opener ever
🤣🤣🤣We had fun with it:) Painted you a picture right?? LOL Thanks man!
after seeing this clip I bought the fork, I am extremely satisfied, I recommend epixon👍
Awesome to hear man, it is a great fork. Happy you could get one!!
This is a great series 👏 Thanks for testing all these budget forks so we don't have to!
Man thank you for watching and for the awesome comment. 🙏
Man, you guys crack me up. Great video, and keep up all the great content!!
LOL Thanks Jon, so glad you understand out HUMOR!! Appreciate you sticking around brother. Have a good one and see you TUESDAY!!! MAILTIME!
1 minute in and I’m dying laughing. I needed that today.
🤪🤣🤣We are here for that and very scientific STUDIES!! So glad you enjoyed it man:) Thanks Tech
Hi🙋! New subscriber here💞,After watching a couple of ur video. I definitely love it👍, Compare to other Cycling Ytuber ur Content is Transparent and honest(Unique, Detailed and well spoken). I feel like im growing little by Like by watching it. You guys are rocking it🤟.
Well welcome to the #wolfticknation and thank you so much for subscribing. The comment was awesome and very inspiring, hope to see you around more often. Thanks again Migo!!
Gotta get the manitou markhor in this test. World wide cyclery had it for 225.
MAN OH MAN!! EVERYONE WANTS THAT FORK TESTED!! LOL Who knows.........Remember backwards crown!!🤣🤣
I believe you have the 2018 Suntour Epixon. I just installed the a 2020 Suntour Epixon with manual lock on my GT Aggressor Pro. If you check the pressure chart on the manual the fork should be set between 90 to 110 psi for riders over 140 lb. I am riding 110 psi with the rebound set to the halfway position and it feels good. Try playing with the pressures. The Suntour Epixon is designed for XC so it is not very plush for pedaling efficiency.
Gotcha man, we need to take it out and just set the sag and play till it feels just riiiiiight! LOL Thanks man:)
I'd say the fork is good for jumps and big hits since it's a lot more progressive that makhor but not as plush.
Completely agree, this fork is really a winner for $200:)
Haha hell yea I completely agree with the score!! Those forks look sick and I love the lock out switch it looks awesome! It’s fine man take your time To respond!
Hey thanks man! Yeah we over did it this week with 4 videos and two other jobs, one full time and one part time plus a 2 hour round trip commute 4 days a week. We had to take a night off from comments (the first one since we started) because it was already 3am when we finally got done with the last video and we had to get up at 7:30am for work. Thanks for your understanding but we should be good now.🥰😂
Huge coincidence, I've just swapped out my Epixon damper for the upgraded version and went for a remote lockout this morning. Looking forward to trying it out over weekend!
tell us more about this upgraded damper.........
Did you get the rockshox damper thing??
@@jamieh4814 It's the damper from the Axon with low speed compression adjustment. The part number is FUN073-11 for 26 & 27.5 wheels and FUN073-21 for 29ers... It's a ten minute job to fit it.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS No, just the damper from the Axon. I didn't know there was a Rockshox damper that could fit?
@Ben Millns-man I was assuming it would fit, it is like $70 dollars or so?? Pretty neat was going to get one for out Recon RL
Nice review!!! It's very sensitive to adjustments. I like that. I get to experiment a lot. lol. 140 mm might be too much for the GT. 120 mm seems to be just fine. I thought that you'd like it. :)
You called it Al, thanks for the Coffee and glad we got the same fork man:) Have fun this weekend and hope you and your boy get some good riding in!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I should do at least ONE video and show my bike.
WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT!!
Just ordered a 27.5 120mm Epixon with remote minutes ago. My Giant Talon 3 only comes with a stock Suntour XCE. I'm so excited because here in the Philippines Suntour is always out of stock especially the Epixon because of the price and quality. I love your videos guys keep up the great work. PS try the Bolany Ironman fork.
Thank you so much brother, we are excited for ya!! Good luck and measure tiwce before you cut!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Will do. Ride safe.
Just got my Epixon installed yesterday I can't wait to test it this weekend. 😎😎😎
HELL YEAH!!!! Man that is great, you are gonna feel a complete and total DIFFERENCE:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I tried mashing my bike feels super light. Loving the stealth color and the remote lockout. Take good care guys more vids and subs.💪
hELLO I have a few question about this fork : It does cracking sound ??? In first 1-2cm of travel ... My auron rc2 pcs / raidon did it and it was so annoying ... Do you recommend to change the vaseline in lowers for oil ??? Or the patrone could get oil from lowers and lost the travel ??? Or let it with vaseline from factory and just ride it... One another question is what about in cold temperatures ??? There is about 0 Celsius and sometimes a little bit below .. not extreme cold but my brand new fork ( XCM) is getting stiff under 5 C ... It goes so bad, like lockout is activated but it isnt ... What performance in cold is at epixon ? Thanks
Hello and thank you for viewing, now we would not recommend anything other than the manafacturuer suggests. But our fork does not make a "cracking noise" Maybe just add more oil because maybe you have lost too much oil and they are dry and sticky? As far as performance in cold, the Epixon I have yet to ride in the cold man, it seemed to do very well last year but requires little maintenece, maybe you should try?
Born and raised right in the heart of Chicago... love you Tick, but you could never be from the 'hood. You can get some honorary ghetto cred for biking on a budget though. As kids we had to have bikes that could handle all kinds of urban landscapes, and we had some of the earliest big box store mountain bikes. Once we had some decent builds, we found some trails outside of the city. A couple decades later I'm now a little further north in Pewaukee, Wisconsin (sounds like Milwaukee with "Pee") and the son and I have a couple GT's (old Zaskar, new Aggressor) and endless miles of trails.
Man I am straight up GANGSTER!! Ill cap a fool real quick, you can believe dat:) HA HA No cred whatsoever ha ha Very cool you are an oldschool dude! Appreciate the coffees and your STICKERS ARE ON THE WAY!!
Please review epixon with 140mm travel. Thanks you 🙂
We gotcha covered with that and we are also going to link the under $200 dollar forks ratings video. Spoiler alert!!...they are a great fork😉😆.

Wow the GT looks amazing in blue. I have the same bike in grey/silver. Just ordered the same forks.
Going have to change Ticks nickname to Hollywood after that trail head intro...stylin!
🤣🤣🤣YOU KNOW!!! Hollywood....Hollywood...🤔🤔🤔😎
Hey guys, I appreciate you’re channel and reviews! I’m squarely in the budget category as I’m rebuilding an old Rockhopper... you guys keep it real👍👍👍 I’m going for this one
Man well thank you for the comment,, glad you are here and have fun with the build DANIEL🤘🤘🤘Hope to see ya around brother
Hey! I know this is an older video. Was just wondering if you have tested the rockshox recons silver yet? And how they would compare to these. Between these 2 right now. Thanks so much!
Just got back from a mornings ride and there's a Wolftick Video, happy days!! 👍😎😁
Man, that coffee shout outs was funny, one of the best yet 😂😂, but Wolfman drinking water... What is going on? 😂
That trail looks amazing and you were flying down it, looked like fun! I want a go 👍
Love your "scientific" scoring system, makes it really easy to see what's and good what's sh*t.
Great video as always guys, keep up the good work 😎🍻👍🇬🇧
Man he said he was to worn out to DRINK!! HA HA It was like two in the morning while we were filming, these last two weeks have been very difficult, I work full time then I leave work and teach an hour kids class then an adult hour class and then I train all at a gym an hour away!So when we film it is LATE!! Then not to mention editing everything and going through footage:) Oneday though Dan we will be full time man, thats the plan, dad says we have got to grind now no matter how late it is when answering comments and it will pay off. Thank you for helping us achieve that dream man-all of #WOLFTICKNATION-yeah so thats why dad was not drinking!! LOL!!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS understandable dude, you guys must work really hard. It'll be worth it in the end!🍻😎
🤤🤤🤤🤤🥃🥃🍷🍷🍷🍩🍩🍩🍩🍾🍾🥂🥂🍻🍻🍻🍻🍩🍺🍺☕☕☕☕🍻🍻🍻🍩
GT is traditional here in Brazil, since 90' i think. It's a great mtb bike
It really is here as well. Such a tough bike.
Hey guys awesome video!! How hard is this fork to install? I’m thinking about putting it on my polygon sisku D5. If you buy it with that lock out switch that you put on your bars do you have to use it? Or can still just use it like a normal lock out or yeah do you have to use that cable? Thanks guys
Morning Tick. Lol. In your opinion what is the best budget fork to buy for the money. I'm doing a 2004 Cannondale Jekyll build and looking for suggestions. At least 120mm travel. It will be 26" wheels. Old School!!!
Man thatvepixon is pretty slick, maybe watch the top 5 fork video?? Maybe a rockshox jusy silver tk?? 🤔
Hey. can you tell me what is this fork offset. I can't find any information. my own bike has 51offset
Bike IS Trek xcaliber
Hmmmm, man we are out of town at the moment but when we get back I will check, please ask us on Tuesdays video:) Thanks man!
nice:) We will try and find out
Thanks. I will ask again on Tuesday. You make good videos. Greetings from Finland.
@kosku84 Thanks man! Wow from Finland👍 That's cool😎
Which once is best compares LUTU and SR Suntour ?
Man please checkout our rating video. We rate them at the end of the video and they do beat the LUTUS.
What up wolf nation... repping northwest Indiana...
REPRESENT!
I've watched a ton of y'all's videos. You guys should do ratings and reviews of other things like brakes, tires, and derailers
Well thanks brother, we do on tires and have been teasing about a brake rating system.
Nice video, always like the epixon fork for budget. Future video idea the cane creek 40 series bearings allows you to run a tapered fork on a straight 1 1/8 headset by moving the bearing to the outside of the frame. Going to do it on my buddies giant talon 3 . Seeing as there are far more budget tapered forks in the used market. it might be something to look into for the GT bike .🙂
Not a bad idea but is the cane creek the one were you will need a 44mm headtube? If so the GT is 34mm...Would love to but what about the headset ups that give you more slack!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ahh right . I wonder is there is a bearing out there that would work for the gt
Man if so it would be nice, either that or just a bike with a 44mm headset that os not out of this world expensive:)
Just ordered this fork for my new (to me) 2020 Trek Marlin 7 29er.... Just wondering what size tire you're running on that fork and if a 2.35 will fit up front?
PS, very thankful for your channel!
Absolutely man! A 2.35 will clear it all:) I am currently running a 2.6 on that fork:) Good luck and thank you for watching!! The fork is great:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Awesome, thanks dude!
They have a nice matte black version that looks sweet...but still thinking about getting either X-Fusion Enix RL2 at 120mm or the X-Fusion x32evo
DUDE X-FUSON ENIX!! WE have a matte black RC32 fork form X-Fusion!! Should be reviewing and installing this summer:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS think it sucks that the official website doesn't offer straight tube forks anymore..forced to buy the Enix on eBay and their x32evo on aliexpress
That is a bummer.....
Fabulous upload
Thank you for that!👍
Lmao you guys pronounced Kaulfers perfectly!
🤣🤣 THANK YOU!!! LOL NAILED IT!
HAPPY SATURDAY!! I came late this time (that's what she said..)
🤣🤣 Def not something I have ever said!! Lol
Excellent review!!! I got a Diamondback Atroz 1 and I'm looking to upgrade the stock coil fork. I am still debating between this Suntour Epixon and the Manitou Markhor. The Manitou is $50 cheaper but is 30mm Stanchion vs the 32mm on the Epixon (which I saw you actually mentioned to feel a difference).
Which one would you recommend for me? I'm am on the lighter weight (135 lbs) and this is my first MTB!
Thank you!
Well thank you Ricardo, since we do not recommend I will tell you what I would pick;) If I were say 135lbs?? I would go with the Suntour man, the Manitou although cheaper has those tiny stanchions and they not only feel weird but sound different. The backwards a$$ arch is strange too, the suntours are a beefy fork for the money brother:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Great!! I just ordered the Epixon... I hope I can get it by the end of the week and try it over the weekend!! Thank you for all the dedication you put in your channel and content!!
PS: Have you considered doing a review of those budget DNM rear shocks? I am thinking on upgrading the rear shock next!!
@Ricardo Fonseca Hey thanks man! We are so glad you found our channel. Hopefully you get the fork soon man. We have indeed considered doing a review of those budget DNM rear shocks😉😆. ruclips.net/video/vJZwvkxV8FI/видео.html
I've just bought these forks second hand. Its not the version with the lockout remote, is it possible to fit this after
Yes, they have an after market cap you can search for.
Question for u boys I have a 2020 gt aggressor pro and need a new rear rim. I’m having a hard time figuring out what size I need to get plz help! Keep up the work fellas!
Well is it a 27.5 and here is a link for an affordable rear wheel:) its what we run on a few of our bikes!! Here is an affiliate link brother:)ebay.us/WIldT2
I want to upgrade my Fork on my GT aggressor large frame what is the best fork do y'all think I should go with?
Well man it depends on the budget aspect, what are you trying to spend??
Another fork option! Getting good.
Yeah this one was pretty good too. Thanks man! Hope you get a chance to get some ridding in with all of the storms in your area.
Science + Technology = Wolftick
I can't wait to get my Wolftick Videos TopCap!!!! Hurry up and figure out how to rig this giveaway so I won't need to storm your HQ.
😅⚓👍
LOL!!! First of all its the COMPOUND!! HA HA TOPCAPS def we need to figure out but.....just wait til you see our new stickers!! HOLY SH** EL CAPITAN!!!! VERY SCIENTIFICALLY OBSTRUCTED AND LITHOGRAPHED!!
How come you never did a rating for the X-Fusion Trace 34? Where does it rank in comparison to these forks?
I think you are the first person to notice that😂. The reason we never scored it or included it in the ratings system/white board is because we have just done the $200 and under budget forks so far. We actually will be rating a new category of forks this summer that will be the next tier. It will be the $350 dollars and below class. Make sure your subscribed and your notifications are on. Thanks man 👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Oh okay cool. Looking forward to it. If guess the rockshox recon will be in that group as well. For someone that is looking at upgrading now which would you recommend the recon silver or the trace? Thanks!
Man I would say the Trace is a bad mama jamma! In our opinion:) not recommended;)lol thanks man!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS not recommended?! Uh oh just bought it yesterday
@deentml89 What Jeremiah meant to say is that we don't recommend stuff. We test stuff out and talk about how we like it or not but we don't really recommend anything😂. I'm sure you will be pleased with your purchase once you get to use them.👍 Sorry for the confusion, Jeremiah has been hit in the head a lot🤣.
RockShox recone silver or sr suntour epixon ? Which is better and why ?
Man have not tried the Recon Silvers but both Suntours we have tried and reviewed seem to be pretty damn good in the bigs and smalls. Very light and still rebuild able. Rockshox seen to be a little heavier sometimes.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks 🐺
Manitou markhor or suntour epixon ? Both same Level ? Why i ask is im looking for decent fork 9x100 , 100mm. 29 rims.
Markhor Review:
ruclips.net/video/FuSTkp4pDI0/видео.html
Epixon Review:
ruclips.net/video/hF4UL2zRpKU/видео.html
The Markhor is a 9mm qr and I believe one of the Epixons are 9mm as well. Hope this helps.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS i watched a lot of Videos from you guys. The reason why im asking is i cant understand from videos how does it feel , why is this fork better etc... So i want answer and im trusting your opinion :)
Greetings from Germany
The suntour or the bucklos 120mm ???
I mean, we gave our ratings😂. 20:50 remember we have time stamps in the descriptions of the videos. Thanks man👍
Love the reviews and rating system 😂. Can’t decide between going with the Rockshox Judy or Suntour Epixon for my aggressor lol. Assuming you would suggest the Epixon over the Judy right? I’m personally not a fan of the decals on the suntour but there’s a blacked out version on eBay I’d get but it’s $260 lol
I have that one but I got it for a cheaper price. $229 or so. It's the same exact fork minus the paint decals. Glossy black. Parts are difficult to get right now. Mine was shipped from the factory in Taiwan. Rode a Judy. It has a different feel.
LOL Finger nail polish is pretty cheap!! HA HA But I would say I like the Epixon more than the Rockshox yes, in a VERY VERY scientific way of course!!🤣🤣🤣 Spend the $200 and get some decals!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Haha very true, I’ll try and find the Epixon in stock then! Thanks guys, will prob send in my aggressor for viewers rides at some point too
Which one of these forks do you think would work best for a heavier rider?
Possibly the epixons? The older one preferably, the Compzerker build we put it on and it has 140mm of travel and is beefy as hell! That may suit you well. There is an affiliate link in the description. Thanks man
Thanks!
My Epixon had jigly legs. I liked that fork but sent it back.
Huh jigly legs huh, that sucks
I think Suntour has an upgrade program so the epixon would be a great upgrade to replace a crappy ten year old coil fork .
And the Clarks M2 brakes get a tick of approval.
My custom build is coming along very well at the moment . 😎👍
Great to hear man, glad the builds coming together. Also we have thought about doing an episode on the trade up program.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Any half decent air-fork is a big step up from even a half decent coil fork .
But l love the Weight price and design of the Epixon .
Do they have a 120mm Epioxon air fork?
Not sure what you are asking. This fork is a 120mm Epixon. Are you talking about one like on the Comp-Zerker? If so I believe they do since everyone says the 140mm that we have on the Comp-Zerker is a 120mm that's been modified. Hope this is what you were asking.
how much was this fork? I can't find it cheaper than $250
Here is an affiliate link:)ebay.us/PJXWVM
Hey bro just got this fork but dosent feel smooth, when I put rebound slow feels hard but when I turn up the rebound fast is smooth but to fast. Is it because haven't used yet or something?
Hey brotheri would say play with the pressure and find the sweet spot. Sounds like you have got too much air in it. Set the sag to around 25% of the overall travel. Sit on it and the fork should soak up about 25% of the stanchion.
hi bro, it's me again your fans in the Philippines, ahhh what is best epixon or raidon in terms of quality and lifespan.
Thank you for your feedback.
Man epixon for price is hard to beat, they are very smooth and have rated pretty high on our board. I would choose another set of epixons! Very good in the bigs and the smallls
How’s the rebound adjustment and control?
I have mine set up at 140mm of travel and love them
Hey brother long time no talk on the channel! We would love to adjust ot for more travel down the road!! Thanks for watching man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS works been crazy but I’m still here lurking when I have some down time lol
Glad to hear it man:) We appreciate that.
I have this very same fork and don't have a air pressure guide, so I don't know what set it on? What model fork is it?
Man here i the info off the fork. I hope this helps?? Also here is an affiliate link man, hopefully you can find some info:)ebay.us/PJXWVM
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS hi , what info do have for air pressure? Thanks 😊
man I could not tell you, the forks have no graph so......I would just trial and error it. The initial impressions video I believe tells what they were shipped t and the amount we ran thru them.
It's not cool encouraging dad to drink! Smoking would be less of a problem when you make him laugh and and blow smoke out his nose;)
That looks like a great set up. GT makes good stuff and the Epixion seems to take take it to another level.
Ride on & enjoy;)
Hahaha😤🤣Thanks man!👍
What is the largest tyre size that you guys can go with epixon 29, i am thinking of getting one for the Talon
Well we don't have a 29" version but we can run up to a 2.6 and prob a 2.8 but a 2.6 for sure.
wow, i never thought it may fit that big tyre width but thank you so much for this one, i am planning on >= 2.4 inch width on the frame and the fork so this helps a lot
@Hải Nguyễn Let us know how it goes.

Can you guys do skills video like jumping, cornering etc.?
Well Marco I'm not sure we are qualified to do any skills/how to type videos since we are not really that good of riders. Maybe one of these days Jeremiah will get good enough to maybe make a skills segment. Maybe a beginners how to or something? Thanks man!👍
Good videos! Have you guys thought about doing dolomite alx fatty review/upgrade? And it would.be super cool to see Wolfman in thug life during eBay drink 🍸😎.
Thought about it yes, not too sure if we will pull the trigger since we got the Malus but.....maybe? I do love that it is aluminum! That is cool as hell:)
What 29" fork is the best?
Man we have tried the Bucklos,the Rockshox Recon RL and the Trace RC 34mm-all in all I feel the Traces are the best, but the most expensive....Rockshox were about $230ish?? Not bad at all! Just tapered which is kind of a bummer. The bucklos though not too bad for the money I mean $110! here is an affiliate link :) ebay.us/HPFwUl
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Thanks for your response. I have a straight tube, so I guess the Bucklos is my best option?
Looks like it my be for now man, there are rockshox out there that have a straight steerer and a quick release but those will run you about $230 and up
Another great video guys 👍🏻👍🏻
I know it’s a little more expensive, but have you considered doing a review on the Manitou Markhor?
Also how do I submit pics for Readers Rides, sent some on Facebook messenger?
Hey thanks bill. Send pics and bike info to our email.
Yeah the Manitou is popular, but like you said a little more expensive. All of our scoring is done on $200 and below thus far. We might make a over $200 dollar category but it will be up against some stiff competition like the Trace RC34 from X-Fusion, the Rockshox Recon RL, and the X-Fusion RC32 because we own all of these.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS this would be great! I was wondering why you did not have that scoring or rating for the Recon RL. Altho just to ask since you have ridden an Epixon and Recon RL, how do they compare with each other? Are they totally on a different level or the Epixon can compete with a Recon RL? Thanks and more power!

Hey guys! I really enjoy watching your videos. I’m thinking about buying a new bike and it comes with a Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork on it, I was wondering if you guys could try this fork out. I’m really curious on how it would stack up against some of the others that you have tried out. Have a great weekend!
Man thank you for having so much trust in our opinions!! Lol I do understand we are pretty scientific and all ha ha but man that fork is like $500, i dont think we can swing that on a fork brother. Iys still a little much. What about a trace rc34 by X-Fusion? Its about $200 cheaper and is an amazing fork.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Thank you for the reply back! I would really like to see how the X-fusion fork performs against the SR suntour.
Man if it is anything like our trace rc 34 it will whoop its A**!! LOL Thanks foe the view and who knows man....maybe oneday!! Much love brother:)
The epixon 140mm can ve reduce to 100mm?
I believe it can, not too sure how it is to be done but, man I would research. Apparently the 100mm forks are the same as the 140mm-so that would lead me to believe it is possible.
I was searching ando yes ir can, thanks Bros
Hey guys just got this fork. There is a sound that comes out when I congress it with my hands because haven't installed. It feels kind of loose. Is it normal
Hey brother, either the rebound is so slow it is causing the noise which is normal or it needs air, but it should feel solid on the bike when you mount it. 😉 And will still have a slight noise due to air being compressed
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I put rebound on slowest and Idk of have enough air or to much guess have to wait for installation thanks
Great video guys. Like y'all need to be told at this point. Lol
Thanks brother, and the amount we put into our channel ot never gets old!! Thanks 🤣
What's up John and Jeremiah who let the wolf out techn
Wasssssssup!!
What size tire were you running in the front?
Hey Alex that is a Goodyear Escape 27.5 X 2.6-That is my favorite tire. It is tubeless compatible as well but we run tubed. Here is an affiliate link:) ebay.us/MKDfkO
Thank you! I’m thinking about throwing this fork on my hardtail wasn’t sure if a 2.5 dhf would fit, suntour says something like 2.3 max. Thnx again
You are welcome!!:)
No 29s are available. After this video the 27.5s will be sold.
That sucks. Yeah that is one of the drawbacks to doing these videos, it sales out everything pretty quick or they raise the prices.
You're going the wrong way! Nice job, Melvin!
🤣👍

Haha, guy riding UP a one way downhill run... I got lost once and rode downhill on a one way uphill trail. If your going to break rules, it should make things easier, or more fun right?
Hahaha absolutely!👍
Compton is still ghetto. However, Los Angeles is HUGE so there are people or all races spread out every where. But once you go east of the i5, it is far less diverse. Cool vid though.
Well appreciate the wiki on it man🤪 We were curious ha ha, thanks for watching and the fork is SOLID! Just should of broke it in first:)
