Felt this needed an echo to show that Fox is still Fox, inverted or not. You think the forks they sent Vital, PB, and all the other media outlets are like this. 😉

I’ve noticed that the suspension world seems to be heavily populated with people/companies that market themselves by shitting on others. This isn’t unique to MTB either, moto, offroad, etc all have it for some reason. Personally, being told that I need a product/service because something else is bad or other people are stupid makes me pretty skeptical. I’ve noticed that the brands with truly good products tend to not need to market like that.

Rulesman Hambini Diaz [I’ve redacted my comment about Dale Stone because I’ve seen two of his videos and that’s not enough to draw an informed conclusion] These are all content creators who seemingly never have anything nice to say about the big companies. According to them, everything’s terrible all the time and they’re the only ones calling it out, the voice crying out in the wilderness. I agree that the big companies do things that suck and that drive me crazy, but if you can’t ever say anything nice about the bigs, even when they notch a win? I have...

Like I really don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I'm also hesitant of any content from anyone trying to sell a product/service that has massive jump cuts like this. I think there should be a level of skepticism around all claims being made right now about the new fork. Though for some reason, I just really trust @TEAMROBOT, must be his mustache. Wonder if he could give the same test as what is in the video on his fork.

6/28/2025 5:36am I think it's an angle to market/get past the number that most still think is important. It's easier to disguise those few hundred grams when in the same discussion as a 50+lb bike.

Yes, I did get the 9.1 fork back from PUSH and promptly took both forks to Angel Fire for 3 days. I have lots of data and info on them and am in the process of putting it all together in a post or two. To address some other things that have come up recently; @TEAMROBOT @sspomer If you guys at Vital MTB really want to test product, you should have someone not affiliated with Vital purchase it. This is the only way you can be sure you get product similar to what the true consumer does. I worked at...

This was my exact thought. A 40 is about 100 grams more and a Dorado about 300, not huge. I would think you also save a few grams on stem and shorter steer tube with a dual crown but that’s marginal. I do know some brands say their frames aren’t compatible with a dual crown fork. So if you have one of those frames this would make sense. Really hoping to see review comparing this fork, a Push, an Ohlins and through a dual crown fork in too just for fun.

Good writeup. Ok, I’ve been thinking about this a bit today. Let’s say you’re building a burly free ride bike. You can have this podium or a 190mm dual crown. They weigh about the same and have roughly the same axle to crown. Which do you pick?

Fair question. Money is definitely one reason why we haven't bought an Intend to test ( or 2772 reasons). In a perfect world, I would love for Vital to buy all of our test products at MSRP, like Consumer Reports used to do (Consumer Reports is now a dead husk of their former self). But buying all our test products would require either a) more revenue from advertisers, or b) moving to a subscription model and charging viewers, which other bike sites have done (Velo, Radavist, etc), or c) more $$$ from advertisers AND charging viewers for a subscription, which...

It's in between a Surron and an E-MTB. I hate it now and I will always hate it.

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 made significant progress. We look forward to getting the forks in the media's hands. That being said, there are a number of rider reviews online, including on the NINE ONE product page from customers who paid for the fork.

The uppers-mounted Intend fender looks dorky as heck and has nowhere near the coverage of a good RDS fender for sure. The USD stanchions and seals are self-cleaning though, so you're really only protecting your face and torso from splashing. The fender helps with that a bit. I am more annoyed about the leg guards situation so I made my own. Poor looking but good enough.

6/6/2025 7:12am Two things that have kept me from jumping on an Intend or Push. - Sounds silly to some, but a big deal for others. Fenders. Buggers me why, with all the innovative capabilities available, why Intend hasn't bothered addressing this. - Reviews. Push's transparency and attitude has been fantastic leading up to the release of the Nine One, but what's...
