PUSH Industries Added a reply to Coil Shock Shootout
11/28/2025 3:15pm " If you have a PUSH SV8, and a Fox DHX, it is easier to change the base valve tune on the fully shimmed DHX, and there are many more options available, than the poppet system of the SV8. " The above statement is incorrect when referring to the design and architecture of the two products. It requires similar tools...

11/20/2025 11:09am I'm confused by this comment: "I simply find a shim stack base valve configuration superior to a spring loaded valve system for it's potential to be tuned and adjusted." My confusion just comes from the fact that spring loaded base valve systems can also be tuned and adjusted. As an example, our ELEVENSIX shock uses a different tune in each...

11/11/2025 11:42am FOX is very good at what they do -Large scale OEM supply. Their strategy is obviously very different than ours. As for the SV8, your feedback experience is very different from what we’re experiencing. I guess customers may be unhappy and just not reaching out to us for assistance. If it were me, I certainly would be reaching out for...

11/10/2025 6:56pm Initial disclaimer....My opinion is that a shock dyno is a necessary tool when tuning dampers. Adding shims, or increasing shim thickness, doesn't always make the damper firmer. Likewise, removing shims or reducing their thickness doesn't always make the damper softer. More specifically, base valve tuning is far more sensitive and requires extensive knowledge and equipment to tune properly. In a...

I follow a lot of these threads, almost no company responds directly with info. Except PUSH. Very much appreciated

Thanks @PUSH Industries for the response - I really appreciate the detailed information on the function of the dampers. As I get older and willing to do more work on my own suspension, I’ve really enjoyed learning about oil flow, shims and the workings of different dampers. I’ve REALLY enjoyed Fluid Focus’ openness - when I wanted to go up a tune on my own, they provided me a spreadsheet with all of the possible tunes, and were swift in getting me the shims I needed. Shockcraft’s system is also cool, but Dougal isn’t as open with his exact shims...

10/30/2025 7:31pm The SV EIGHT is a fully shimmed damper. The newer Transition models have high-rising rate designs....maybe we just needed to get you on a firmer tune. Darren

10/30/2025 7:27pm The ELEVENSIX, VT/X, and SV EIGHT all used shim-based compression and rebound stacks. All three use the same architecture for the base valve, which is shimless and manages the external adjustment range of the compression circuit. External rebound is controlling the low-speed free bleed. Damper tuning is all done via traditional shim stacks, so the tuning variables are almost limitless...

9/15/2025 2:32pm Delrin also has a very low coefficient of friction. The red bearing material we use offers better long-term wear and durability, especially in harsher environments.
PUSH Industries Added a reply to Suspension Component Technology/Functionality Discussion
9/15/2025 12:48pm It is not Delrin, and is in fact something very fancy. The red material we use is fundamentally a bronze-filled PTFE product that is designed to act as a bearing, supporting very high loads while having an extremely low coefficient of friction. We machine the material in-house very carefully, as the material alone costs us $278 per foot! 😒

9/12/2025 6:46am With MTB's using very high spring rates, using a bearing definitely offers a performance advantage:

Regardless of what any of our opinions are on the Nine One, I want to say thanks for being so involved in this thread and wanting to communicate clearly and directly. Direct and public communication between customers and the head of a suspension company is nearly unheard of, so it's appreciated! Thanks, Darren.

8/28/2025 11:38am My responses are out of concern for a rider who spent what I consider to be a large amount of money with my company, and not being happy with the results. That's not acceptable to me. It doesn't matter where the customer bought our product; I only ask as it helps with context. In the case of my first post...

8/28/2025 7:02am I guess I should have put an emoji in my comment, as this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek mostly. That being said, it is my understanding that the Dorado fender is a one-piece structure completely integrated into the guards, much like what DVO did, which is different than what we're doing. As for EXT, their system was introduced long after...

8/20/2025 3:18pm They would need to make sure that they had a licensing deal in place with us before doing that. We have a pending global patent in place for our fender system.

8/11/2025 12:44pm A couple of notes to consider. Spring Rate. Yes, you're in the camp of riders that we developed the Sub Chamber system for. The V2 Sub Chamber is 100% backwards compatible with that fork. Chassis. This is a tricky one as the the front hub plays a significant role in how the chassis performs. This is why there's such a...

7/7/2025 5:36pm The "weeping" from the windows of the crown is not very common, and mostly traced to customers who pressure wash their bikes. They stopped pressure washing, and we stopped seeing a problem. As for this specific fork, it could be residue from assembly, or it could be other factors. In each case, it's a temporary factor that, if cleaned, goes...

6/6/2025 9:08am Low mount fenders are now readily available for our NINE One front fork. As for reviews, it just comes down to availability. Since launching the fork, we have been overwhelmed with trying to satisfy demand and haven't had a single fork to spare for the media. We have been focused on scaling our production for the past year and have...
