I've owned a couple of Avy tuned shocks as well as the current Super Deluxe with HBO. With HBO you don't need to alter rebound since the HBO only kicks in during compression and doesn't add any spring energy. HBO feels smoother on large drops when you max out travel - like you're landing on a pillow; however as you point out the HBO on the Push is non-adjustable, so how well it will work on any given bike is unknown.

Is the rebound statement part your own theory or something you can back up? Because common theory of HBO is pretty clear in that it offers added rebound damping in the same part of the travel where it ads compression damping(it takes force to disengage cone from the cup), which is considered nice bonus when you get that deep into stroke.

Also HBO. Usefulness depends on the bike, but in the right use case it's really nice to have.

That's not really unique though is it? It's just a spacer behind the bottom out bumper unless you're also changing eye-to-eye. Seems like it would mess with HBO though, I know the EXT should be rebuilt to adjust HBO if you change stroke.

I really hoping HIGH expectations

Dec 7th is going to bring some new potions to the witchcraft

I swapped elevensix for sveight in the URL... https://www.pushindustries.com/products/sveight

I've been calling regular bikes "Naturally asperated" for a couple years but it hasn't caught on yet.

Norco going high pivot on models above Fluid makes a lotta sense from a company standpoint. Product differentiation. Fluid gets the old layout, the latest n greatest wonder bikes get the high pivot treatment.

Exactly. I've never heard anyone refer to a non powered toothbrush as analogue or acoustic.

LOL Another thing about the new Sight and Range VLT models is they are sticking with one size of battery. Gone is the three different size choices. 750 size battery which is pretty good. Bosch power as well.

I call my hardtail "meat powered" now lol The Norco VLT thing will be interesting, In Australia the deals on those bikes are incredible, 40% off RRP, sometimes coming with a free battery. I feel like a sucker paying full retail when they came out! It would not surprise me if a new one comes out, but current gen only 2 years old. I suppose they did a <2 year layover on the model previous.

(disclaimer: Push dealer here) From what I can tell, the MSRP of a complete Fox DHX2 is about $850 USD these days (including spring & hardware), just to give some context

Like many other companies, they are sitting on excessive inventory. Pandemic wasn’t easy on them. Have you looked at the website? Optics are an awesome deal right now.

SV = Single Valve Eight = Eight hundred dollars MSRP

There’s been lots of Norco rumours. The renderings of the high pivot optic and sight have been around for quite a while. Also hearing that as a company they are bleeding lots of cash. hard times.

Gotta be that shock that they conveniently let slip in a short bit ago. They just posted "SV Eight", so single valve? "Budget" shock form Push as guessed before?

Just their single damping circuit "cheap" version of a rear coil. Probably still close to $1000 I bet.

Optic and sight are

VLT Sight/Range going high pivot as well. The Fluid isn’t changing. They’re also doing mixed wheel configurations on all models. I think the VLTs are mixed only, and the analog bikes will be able to switch between the two wheel sizes.
