YOu two make such a cute couple.
Well I think Fox might have a winner with this one! Maybe they stole some ideas from PUSH industries in making this?
With all the hype of avy's, 5th elements, and swingers for shocks they are all so good. Hopefully Fox can make it in there with them but it's a tight market.
They really need to loose that coil and get a ti one

I've heard pretty good things about that shock! Too bad it doesn't fit on the 04 DHR
Anybody know availability on these things?
Entirely different damper/internals, so I doubt they stole anything from Push in the making of this.
especially considering proto version of this shock were out about 12-18 months ago.
They are shipping OEM now (all the new Cover Peelers have them) and they will be available to the general public by the end of the race season I believe.
Yeah, I was going to mention that I had heard something about these shocks a while before I had even heard of Push Industries, but didn't have a time estimate on hand to back that up
Good, so I can escape the guilt of ordering some standard propedals. That helps. Thanks.
Its a SWEET shock. I rode Jamie Billuk's a few times over the last 3 weeks (cove kid, cnd junior national champ). He is a HUGE Kid, but i coudl dial it back to be almost suitable for me. The adjustments work extremely well.
Really well done, nicely machined etc.
my buddy has one and he loves it, hes got the new fork on the way too..cant wait to see it. His with a Ti spring on a bullit isnt that big....but looks burlyOriginally posted by Acadian

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm planning on owning one. I'd rather just get something readily available now and go ride.
But yeah the ones I've seen and bounced on pro folks' bikes seemed to be in the high quality zone for sure.
but dude..........can you huck it?
And does it come in Rootbeer?
I kept asking jamie that for 3 weeks, he lives in Whistler now so I'd guess yes?
actually the DHX 5.0 will be out next month
Fraser;
If you see Jamie soon, tell him Mike says hi! That kid's a friggin ripper, I had the pleasure to ride with him and Dustin at a camp in Kamloops a couple years ago! He's unbelievably smooth and could (almost) keep up with Dustin top to bottom - not bad for a 15 or 16 year old kid (at the time)
Give this kid a chance and I'm sure you'll see him busting it with the big boys. He's certainly one of the most dedicated amateur riders I've met.

That kid is a ripper for sure. He can easily keep up with some of the fastest guys in the country if he can keep it together for a race run. In practice no one can touch him.
Sure did put on some pounds tho from last year! He is also a walking comedy show, so much fun riding with him on and off for 3 weeks, especially the trainingc amp together for 4 days straight. You can't even have a peaceful breakfeast if he is at the table, you are always trying not to spit OJ outta your nose.
Are you going to get one?
Ain't that the truth. I haven't seen him since last year's Joyride. Yeah, races seem to get him a little "excited" but perhaps time will help him calm his nerves and get him some clean runs.
Most importantly though, the kid's got huge style and is always smiling on the bike.
You coming out this way over the summer?
i dont know if i want to answer this
You do so you can have it PUSHED

The good thing is your bike parts never see dirt.
Why don't you ride this new Fox before you go making mods to it. It may be perfect right out of the box.Originally posted by ViolentVolante

That smiley needs to be a part of the RM repertoire for sure.Originally posted by ViolentVolante

If your old one was for your disco, it will only fit my norco which I don't want another shock for.
Well you're selling your disco which was the best bike ever, you're selling your DH2.0 which was the best fork ever, you're selling your pushed RC which was the best shock ever, I'm just hoping your DHX will also be the best shock ever. So what then, two or three weeks? I know this one requires some more tuning time.
errr! Im not selling the fork, i just ordered 2 WB DH 1.8s, and im keeping mine, im not selling my fork, i did that just to screw around and get Brian going
but i will sell it in a few months when the new WB comes out, i cant say anything but it will be awsome just wait 
the disco is sold, the push is the best shock ever and its not yet for sale
Well after a good 3-4 weeks of solid curbs and stairs, the Disco, 2.0 and PUSH can't handle the abuse its being shown. Thats why he's not going to N* he's afraid the bike would disintegrate if it got dirty, or he would be having trouble selling a part that looks like its been actually used.
Pushed fox shoxs do not have adjustable pedaling platform or progressiveness(well they don't even have ANY progressiveness).
That's why I am waiting for the DHX, I am interested in it, as well as the Evolver for my other bike. Not that I'll go out and buy these shocks, and not that they'll be "great", but just based on what we know, I am interested.

So you're keeping the DH2.0 to wait for the new james bond WB fork and in the meantime ordered two other WB downhill forks. You must have a pretty badass pub/commuter bike.Originally posted by ViolentVolante
