PUSH Industries Added a reply to Modern Inverted Single Crown Forks
5/26/2025 3:09pm Ok...gotcha. Makes a bit more sense as riding one of our forks that is set up for someone else can easily produce a mixed result. Maybe some time in the future we could get you on a proper demo spec'd for you! 👌

PUSH Industries Added a reply to Modern Inverted Single Crown Forks
5/26/2025 3:06pm Hopefully, this isn't too spammy. Chassis: The inverted design opens up the ability to tune for/aft, torsional, and lateral stiffness independently. This is a huge advantage in ride performance. With conventional forks, the stanchion diameter drives the overall stiffness of the fork and has very few options for its shape, as does the crown. Weight: A common misconception is that...

5/26/2025 2:37pm Did you purchase your 9.1 directly from us or through a dealer? Riding a 38 Air fork compared to our coil fork should have been quite radically different. If you could provide either the serial number or your order number, I'd like to check out your specific build. Darren

5/25/2025 5:57pm Perfect, we'll need to get that back for inspection. I'll shoot you an email to get that process going.

5/25/2025 5:15pm What is the serial number on that fork? With our inverted design, we use a film of incompressible hydraulic fluid (fork oil) that acts as a bearing between the stanchion tube and the fork bushing. We're able to achieve this as the fluid naturally gravitates towards the bushings with gravity. With the bushing at its minimum ID tolerance, and the...

3/15/2025 11:09am Doesn't BYB Tech come with a pretty robust analyzing software? If you're using an off-the-shelf suspension logging system MATLAB shouldn't be necessary. Darren

3/15/2025 10:57am Thanks for that DC....wasn't aware. 👍 I always find it interesting how absolute the MTB world is when it comes to dampers when at the end of the day there are so many variables with manufacturing and assembly tolerance stack-up. Ultimately 2mm of stroke isn't even tangible on the trail.

I designed that out of Super Deluxe Coil- we measured 'solid' height of bumpers (I think at our test lab max of 5,000 lbf) and designed stroke length around that. So a RS SDLXC 65 stroke should actually get close to 65mm stroke if you smash it hard enough. Remove the bumper and measure the shaft- should be maybe 1-2mm longer than the stroke length. Edit- also agree with Darren about data... I'd probably do the test blind and look at data after ranking everything. Then maybe see if you can make improvements based on data comparison?

3/15/2025 8:01am A couple of notes on this one. 1. Coil shock strokes are defined with the bottoming bumper removed. So a 65mm stroke shock can only achieve a maximum of 60-62mm due to the solid height of the bumper. 2, On-board data acquisition is not able to explain why one shock is better performing than another as it's only capable of...

3/27/2023 5:21pm Non or low-pressure system (Bladder or IFP fork cartridge) is creating compression damping: Mid-Valve Non or low-pressure system (Bladder or IFP fork cartridge) is not creating compression damping: Check Valve We have examples of both in MTB suspension. You had previously asked the question: "But does the oil flow in both directions at once in the Monarch and others?" I...

3/27/2023 1:51pm You took my quote out of context. The complete quote was: "Mid valves are found on the backside of the rebound piston and have two elements. The first is free bleed, or float as it's sometimes referred to, which prevents the mid valve from producing compression damping at low-velocity ranges where it's easy for cavitation to form. The second element...

3/23/2023 11:53am I don't really have an opinion either way. We go the route of FOX where we use fixed bleeds that, when checked, are simply a check and don't result in damping force. I would say that it's not common to use the free bleed as another tuning component, but there's nothing that keeps you from doing it. -Darren

3/22/2023 10:20am From the image you shared you've highlighted two things: The valve located in the head unit is the "Base Valve". The shock shaft displaces fluid when it enters the shock body which is forced through this valve generating compression damping. The valve also features a replenishment circuit that allows the displaced fluid to freely move back into the shock body...
