Reddit mentions of SUNLITE Threadless Hybrid Fork, 700c / 250 x 28.6 x 30.0mm, Black

This is the exact fork I purchased from amazon.com.

A magnet sticks to the original fork, therefor am pretty sure it's steel. When comparing both forks the original is bulkier and obviously heavier, though I didn't get a chance to weigh them when they were both off the bike. Also the new fork seems to have a little more 'flex', am not sure what the right word is, less rigid I guess. When riding it seems to absorb some shock more than the other fork and the ride was immediately smoother.

I forgot to mention earlier I think but I also attached, torque wrenches on both sides.

A few weeks ago I got a chance to ride about 5 different $2000-$3500 eBikes and try them out. What I noticed from all of them was how smooth the ride was. No noises and parts clanging together, easy on the wrists. It wasn't until I made these upgrades to the VanMoof that my bike started to approach that level of smoothness - Including replacing the stock tires with 5mm "eBike tires" and thick thorn resistant inner tubes. After all those things I noticed the ride is quite smooth, not quite the same as a $3000 pre-built model but I have to say so far I'm pretty proud of the final outcome and it's well acceptable.
