Push Industries Nine Point One Inverted Front fork - and SV Eight Rear Shock - Sea Otter 2024

[@BillReno]

I see you have an 11/6 on your Levo with a fox 38 on the front. I have the same set up. And after putting the shock on, it was really interesting to dial in the fork since all of the chatter came through the fork and the back end was smooth as silk. I know the 11/6 is a high in shock but man does it work. I also have an older Levo with the same shock and the Trust Shout and it’s much more balanced than the Fox 38. I did check out the new Fork for Push at TRAIL Head Cyclery in Cupertino and it is very nice and and have one on the list. And I’m not a dentist. Have you done a review on your 11 /6? Great videos and great coverage at Sea Otter.

I’ll do one on the Eleven Six. Great reminder. For the fork, make sure you have yours rebuilt after 1k miles as it really suffers. Had it done to mine and it was able to keep up with the rear. Long love Lars and Trailhead!!!!!!!!!

It looks awesome. Push has been doing suspension tuning for many years. However, they're not a fork manufacturer up to this point. $2600 is extremely expensive for any fork, much less a new product from a company who's not made forks before. But I guess folks are buying the hype even at this crazy price. I'd hesitate to buy any company's first new product. There's always some bugs that pop up.

Good insight

[@user-nn4wj8gk9s]

I’d love to test these .

[@EMTBReview]

For sure, hope it's on the Demo fleets of some bike festivals.

Where do you fit a mud guard?

[@EMTBReview]

Doesn't look like that will work out.

Darren did a podcast with vital MTB I believe and mentioned that you can get an attachment that will allow you to use Velcro strap on fenders

I would love to get my hands on this fork… but the price tag is really hard to swallow. I totally get why it costs what it costs, it’s just really hard to justify investing so much money into a bicycle that gets ridden a lot and therefore regularly gets damaged or broken.

[@EMTBReview]

Agreed. The price is exotic level

[@briangong007]

yes!!

[@besomewheredosomething]

So with all this extra engineering that has to happen, what's the real benefit of running this kind of fork?

[@EMTBReview]

Fore and aft stiffness is one... under braking since the strongest part of the fork legs are at the top, where it sees the most stress.

[@sebastiengiovannelli8556]

maven brake will tore apart this fork

[@EMTBReview]

C'mon now. Let's not go overboard. :)

What a load of crap I've had a dnm hornet Chinese inverted fork for 5 years now. So all that mumbo jumbo is a lie. Your just getting around to it. Stop trying to justify the $2500 price 😤

[@EMTBReview]

DNM hornet... we'll check those out.

[@WanderingSword]

Rock Shox had the RS1 inverted design years ago, nothing new. The Push fork at $2600 usd is laughable. At this price, I would expect double-coil, not a single coil. Single coil still causes the legs to twist, not as ideal. MRP makes a true moto style fork with a coil in each leg. PUSH way overhyped. Waiting list will be emtpy list once the initial dentists get theirs. I'm gonna be LMAO when a 17 yr old kid on his dad's bike with the Chinese fork blow by these boomers with Push Nine One's and Eleven Six'es!

[@EMTBReview]

You managed to pack a lot of hate in one comment there. It is expensive, that’s for sure. Rockshox RS1… ok, not even good enough for XC. Mrp double, single, Chinese whatever. It’s a very tough category but I’ll reserve judgement until folks I listen to actually use it.

[@kanutecarson1]

Bitter about your life?

[@WanderingSword]

@@EMTBReview and what world class race has any Push products won? And if you don't know the advantage of a doule coil versus a single coil, then bro you lack technical knowledge. If single coil is good as double, then motos would have gone single coil in their fork and save weight, don't you think?? 9yr old kid on a kiddie mtb, air shock and fork, probably what most boomer would consider "Walmart" stuff, doing things most people equipped with custom shocks and forks can't. Sorry but you can't buy skills. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXOZ41smNKrgJY
