Before I get 27.5 bike.. I already use epicon from 2010 on my 26er trail bike and still working till now and now I'm use epixon 27.5 version for my 27.5 trail bike. My opinion just service the suspension when the time has come.. It's really good and value for money..
Great video! OP never looked better! You definitely made the smart play by shopping around. After watching your review, I'm considering making a change to the front susp on Boris. The cost is reasonable and the potential ride improvement would be worth it.
Life Starts When thanks man. It was good to be back at O.P where it all started. Def recommend the fork for Boris and lookin forward to meeting him one day!
I have one myself too but i have the stealth version (all black) and set to 120mm travel. Great fork for its value and feels great on roots and bumps. 🤘 try getting a Suntour rear shock as well, you'd be stoked how plush it feels
I've ordered this same fork and can't wait to get to swap in out with xcm 30 springer. During my research I found that this budget version of this fork doesn't have a serviceable rebound/lockout unit. The one from Suntour has the serviceable unit and therefore more expensive. A replacement basic unit is about $60 and the upgraded unit is $160. If I lived in North America I'd of used the upgrade program but after shipping and tax I'd of been looking at over £300 sterling and for that money I'd rather get Rock shoxs or Manitou. I'm still looking forward to riding the fork and for light to medium trail use I'm not too worried about the serviceability of the rebound unit.
In the same boat as you. Found this fork at 150pounds on aliexpress with a lil extra for tax and read also about the non serviceable part. Regardless of this part its still a huge upgrade from the standard xct amd xcm coils. How did u find the fork in the end? Still happy?
@@ChenzosWorld I hope you do a video comparing all the upgrades on your bike . BTW , I had ordered a brand new 2020 Giant Trance 3 ( 27.5 ) but because of the Covid 19 virus , all the 2020 models ( Trance 3 , in 27.5 ) are gone so they gave me the option of upgrading to a carbon/aluminum 2019 model for an extra 300 dollars or wait for the 2021 models of the bike I had already ordered , I respectfully declined that generous offer and I will wait for the 2021 aluminum models ; bike is already paid so .... patience , in the mean time , I'll keep riding my old Ironhorse Warrior 3.1 26" , which is already 10 years old but is all built up (on a budget ) as you are doing with that pretty Diamondback Atroz . Here's something that I found that you may like . ua-cam.com/video/QSWlA5pt9rc/v-deo.html
armando cardenas patience is definitely key. I’m sure the new bike will take you on plenty of adventures! And cheers to your budget build. It’s been fun building up this Atroz and I’ll def do a review over all the upgrades when it’s done. Thanks for the link!
@@ChenzosWorld Brother , all mountain bikers should go through a build up , it is a labor of love , respect and connection with the sport ( kind of a zen experience ) inanimate objects have souls too . I know for a fact that you will eventually upgrade to a brand new ( at least ) entry level real mountain bike , but never forget that humble thing that put you on the trails and got you started on the sport ; that's why I keep my old Ironhorse close , even if I don't ride her anymore . Gratitude , retribution and respect .
I have a stealth version of these for equivalent to $190-$200 iirc. Even more nice looking imo as it’s all blacked out including decals(matte finish too). There seem to be a lot of variation on this fork, QR/TA, straight/tapered, and I believe there are also variations of dampers available as well. Best part about this fork is the travel conversion from 100, 120, to 140. Good entry level XC/trail fork. Never felt sketchy when learning to bunny hop and jump on it.
Sick! Recently got an Atroz 1 as well, super good bike for the price. Already upgraded the brakes to hydraulic, and the suspension is next. I was gonna go with the Rockshox Judy Silver, but this totally changed my mind. Have you thought about the rear shock at all? I’m leaning towards the Rockshox Monarch as of right now.
Sweet. It’s definitely a sick bike for the price. Yea I’m actually lookin at the Monarch as well. Hopin to get it soon. Then I’ll just get some new wheels eventually to call the project complete. Stay stoked! 😎🤙
Aihhh🙌hey mate much love from MANIPUR ( NORTHEAST) my channel is also based on bike and we both channel names are bout to be same btw happy rides buddy💪
Hey man sorry fr the late response. Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with the Tk or rl . I have a rockshox revelation on my current bike and it’s been great. The epixon is still goin strong on my other bike tho so I don’t think you can go wrong with either brand. Hope this helps
hey sorry for the late response. i just saw this. I haven't researched the markhor as much but i can recommend the epixon for sure. i would recommend watching a ton of reviews first before you make a decision. hope this helps
Very underrated fork. I have been shredding my Epixon thru axle version for 2 years without being service and still feels thesame since I bought it.
Damn... I know your comment is 1yo, but it helped me a lot on my decision.

I have this on my Giant Talon 3 a fantastic air shock fork. Bang for buck, shout out from Philippines bro :)
The Fork Looks Really Good! Enjoy Air Life!
Thanks brother. Diggin it so far. 🤙

It’s a decent fork sure. Tune it properly and it’s as smooth as anything with no top out!
I have one myself too but i have the stealth version (all black) and set to 120mm travel. Great fork for its value and feels great on roots and bumps. 🤘 try getting a Suntour rear shock as well, you'd be stoked how plush it feels
Awesome. I bet that suntour shock will be one hell of an upgrade. 😎🤟
Sick video brother 🤘🤘 now to shred and hit those drops smoothly🔥🔥💪
Hells yea 😎🙌🔥

As someone who rides an Atroz 2 in San Antonio I love your videos and will probably buy this same fork. Thanks for your content!
Tyler Kimbriel you’re welcome. Always glad to hear from other Atroz riders. I def recommend the fork. Keep shreddin 😎🤙
Awesome bro. I’ve just ordered one for myself too 🤟
joe noice 👌
I just got the fork myself and extended the travel on it to 140mm. I was surprised how light and plush the fork feels.
Awesome , brother ; nice fork ..... congratulations . For the rear shock ( on a budget ) I recommend you the DNM , you won't regret it .
Thanks bro. I’m lookin forward to upgrading the rear shock soon. 😎🤙

Is there a difference between the epixon and epixon-9 LO R? Btw 🔥video!!!

i got stealth one too buy 140mm version replacing my 100mm xcm fork
Just bought one new on ebay for 190 bucks. Can't wait to get it
I was looking into buying an epixon from eBay too. Does yours function well?

Great review keep it up
Thanks bro!
i am also using epixon 140mm travel 32mm stanchion {stealthblack} good fork i have nothing to say.
Thank You for the review. Very helpfull. I'm going to buy the fork.
You’re welcome. Glad to hear this was helpful. Enjoy the new fork!
The max travel for that fork is 140mm, i had mine adjusted to a 140mm and it looks awesome
Sweet. I haven’t adjusted it yet but it’s good to know. Thanks fr the info!
Great video
Thanks bro! Glad ya dig it 😎🤟
The reason you got it cheap is because it is a old model of epixon probably 2017-2018 ish.
Is there any difference between the latest and the 2017's?
Great video , thanks!m
You’re welcome. 😎🤟
Esa horquilla se puede ajustar el recorrido a 140 mm solo mueves el perno externo es facil ,las atroz son hermosas
Aihhh🙌hey mate much love from MANIPUR ( NORTHEAST) my channel is also based on bike and we both channel names are bout to be same btw happy rides buddy💪
Hey thanks man! I’ll stop by and check out your channel. Keep shreddin bro! 😎🙌
dude is it better than the rockshox silver tk or rl? im planning to upgrade my old one and this is one of my option, thanks
Hey man sorry fr the late response. Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with the Tk or rl . I have a rockshox revelation on my current bike and it’s been great. The epixon is still goin strong on my other bike tho so I don’t think you can go wrong with either brand. Hope this helps
Good video
freddie A thanks bro!
The upgrade program sucks,that's why I ended up with manitou.wah-hooooooo. I'll subscribe
I feel ya man. Thanks for the support!
Did you cut the fork or you just added spacers to compensate for the extra length?
Can it go on 26’?
I have a 2021 Rockhopper Comp 29er which comes with the XCM30 and so could I put the Epixon on the bike?
I think you could swap those out without any issues. I always double- check with Local bike shop just to make sure everything is compatible
@@ChenzosWorld oh ok I'll check with my bike shop, thanks!
@@nvire5202 your welcome 👍
i will buy it.
Finally i bought it
@@mioszk504 How did it perform? mine is very good.
Hi mate what’s the difference between this and the Xc one. Thanks appreciate it
I think the stealth once or with black stanchions are newer
Nice intro
thanks bro!
Whats the size of your wheel?
Which is better SR SUNTOUR AXON32 OR EPIXON?
Axon
How. much travel you had on video?
100
Whats your tire size?
Can you use it for jumps?
U can use any fork for jumps
@@Dopeassbikevids Depends how big the jumps are . . . .
In Philippines that is a Entry level Fork
Cool
Yeah it is an entry level fork but most of us recreational riders in the philippines actually sees it as an high end fork :D
@@chrisruga7889 oo nga eh hahshaha, sa kanila pang low budget fork lang
Sr epixon or manitou markhor?
i would like to know the answer for this question dont know which one to buy
hey sorry for the late response. i just saw this. I haven't researched the markhor as much but i can recommend the epixon for sure. i would recommend watching a ton of reviews first before you make a decision. hope this helps
ended up buying the Markhor it git delivered 3 days ago, probably not to much difference
