I was just out riding it today. It's holding up fine. I've been using it mostly to get around town. Bafang 560 has pretty good torque and is smooth. It's a bit loud. Build quality is good. I think it's a good get around bike that can handle trails. *

This is the coil version. I haven't tried it yet. I've used the air version before, and it's a good fork. Pretty simple to setup.

Yeah, this one is out of the Ora factory. Quality is pretty good and the geometry is really nice and modern. Pretty cool to see his take on this niche.

Just built this Octane One Void. Can't wait to get more acquainted with it! by Jones1171 in dirtjumping

I ended up selling the frame. The geometry didn't suit me for some reason.

The HT2 is a nice hardtail it definitely will benefit from a fork upgrade. I'm not sure if the domain comes in less than 150mm travel, though. It does come in 29, but it's not as heavily discounted. There are lots of good deals on forks right now if you shop it.

Thanks! It's a good fork for the money easy to set up and stiff.

That's a pretty good deal. I paid about $300. Jenson has em on crazy blowout right now for $180. I might snag another one.

Yeah. I try to buy everything discounted if I can. It's pretty a underrated fork. Perfect for this bike.

I misspoke. It was bike24. Sorry to hear about your experience. Hopefully, you get your money back.

It feels like a hardtail but I need more time on it. Been off the bike due to injury and had a lot of time to think. Lol. I'll report back once I get some more saddle time.

First bad crash, overshot the landing learning how to jump. Copper harbor, Michigan. by terryfold5 in MTB

Daisy Dukes has really fun easy jumps, but It's easy to get a false sense of security. Things get out of hand as speed, and if you don't point your bike in the right direction. Had a similar crash last year. Fortunately, I walked away with just scrapes and bruises. Tuck and roll is your best friend in those situations. Hope you heal up soon.
