XO is way beyond XT and closer to XTR , GX is more compareable to XT from my experience.

We love the silence of Onyx rear hubs, but at PUSH, we recommend not using the front hub. The only customers to complain about excess flex have been on Onyx hubs and switching hubs solved the issue every time. We've looked into the issue and I've personally tested a hub, but we couldn't find anything that stood out and it rode completely normal. At this point it seems like it's a case-by-case issue, but we are going to continue to research the topic.

After having gone back and forth a few times now between the Intend and PUSH forks, I feel the ability to tune the flex (torsional and fore/aft) is a big benefit of the inverted design. Historically this has been a weak point, with the single crown Shiver being slightly terrifying at times with the ability of the front wheel to wander aimlessly in rock gardens. This is no longer the case (at least with the Intend and PUSH forks), with the amount of flex being beneficial. Similar to what Reece is talking about in regards to the Dorado here: It...

My favourite anecdote on the pricing that I tell people is that, 25 years ago in Eastern Europe, I paid 1K for a brand new Marzocchi Z1 Bam, which is exactly as much as I would pay for the current top of the line Zeb Ultimate. And there is more to compare, but the point is, we are quite lucky actually compared to other areas in life where things have gone through the roof (housing,...). It is not the cheapest sport, but what we can get these days for the money, the abuse it will withstand, and the fun you...

Not bragging, but I just pre ordered the shock and fork. I've been eyeing Intend fork and shock for some time now. Having ran Push for the last 1.5 years, I am truly a fan of a good damper and know that some of this stuff is bonkers expensive, but its also ease of use and maintenance that is key. The fact that you can service a Push 9.1 fork and these Intend forks yourself with basic tools and they use off-the-shelf lubricants and seals makes it a bit more palatable. But nothing will escape the fact that this is...

They have been racing on prototype cannibals for a few seasons now. From what I have been told its just small tweaks to the casing as well as the compound. They, like Schwalbe have a, cold weather specific T9 compound, I wouldn't be surprised if they have some other FRO single run compounds as well. I'm a little over a month in on the new Butchers, I have them at the top of my favorite tire pile now for Nor-cal conditions. Seriously debating on keeping them on for racing this summer. The only thing that I have noticed is that...

change 104BCD to a new proprietary chainring?

I was an assegai front aggressor back dude for years, but something happened with the DD aggressor where punctures were too common, not even the big bacon bits could save them. Went back to a DD DH-R and all is well again. I liked the aggressor as it lasted forever and was fast rolling, but as above the side knobs were decorative lol.
