Push ACS3 MSRP is $389USD including spring - Jenson sell it for $309 WITHOUT spring. Our MSRP is ~$315USD including spring. We use hydraulic anti-bottoming so that you don't have a spring plunger physically impacting an air spring plunger mid travel. There are no moving seals to worry about wearing out, no air seals to leak, and it dissipates kinetic energy instead of storing it and then releasing it again - there's a reason it's easier to tune rebound damping with linear springs than progressive ones. It can provide equivalent bottoming resistance with lower peak forces too, because peak hydraulic...

I guess now's not a good time to mention that a DVO kit may or may not be under development...

Lyrik RC2 with a Push ACS3 is the best fork setup on the planet. Hands down.

I agree! The less plastic inside a RS fork the better.

As posted elsewhere: the Push kit is a really good concept - coil performance for the first 2/3 of the travel with an adjustable anti-bottoming system. Fundamentally both the ACS and Smashpot are pretty similar there, and with any given spring rate you'll notice absolutely zero difference in performance during the first 2/3rds of so of the travel since a coil spring is a coil spring. Both have anti-bottoming systems which as a whole achieve a pretty similar thing. However, the Smashpot is cheaper, has internally adjustable travel, goes to both longer AND shorter travel settings, has a wider range...

Thanks for the reply! It's definitely a product I'll look I to for other builds as the Asc3 is very expensive but for my main build to match the 11.6 it seemed like it was the only way forward. The luftkappe is a quality product, I had on my pikes! Keep up the work man! Cheers

They did mention why their bottom out system offers advantages and you mentioned it in your comment. They dont have air seals that need more maintenance than the system they offer and you can adjust it without a shock pump on the fly. What else do you want them to say? MSRP on this system is less than the $389 for the Push system. I know you can get it through Jenson and others for cheaper which may end up being the case here given some time. Lower maintenance and tool free adjustment mean a lot to me and other...
