when you had the enduro, did the push really help with climbing? It's on my list of upgrades for my enduro

Oh hell yah, you can set it up 2 different ways and it's very easy to make adjustments. The way I had it was 1 valve for climbing and the other super plush for trail riding and descending. It's expensive but you have it for bike to bike. I kept the shock and sent it back to Push for a rebuild for my Balance. Totally different configurations but I had them valve it the same way. I can't see myself ever going back to an air shock, for me it was money well spent.

Yes it is. I've had my eye on a Canfield for a long time but just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. So glad I took the leap of faith.
