Seems PUSH has copied EXT's homework. Hydraulic bottom out and spherical bearings in the eyelets.

but I still can't get one sized for my DH bike

(that new shock does look good)

Thanks for the info

Push says "no market for DH shocks anymore" which while a much smaller market than trail bikes just isn't true.

Other than maybe size, what's the difference between a "DH" shock and anything else? I mean they should all function well when going down hill....its the shocks job!

I am assuming they aren't making them in the required sizes anymore?

How is that, was EXT the first to use spherical bearings? No, they were not.

The shock is so much of an afterthought these days it's not even funny. When you look at the absolute crap being speced on these trail and enduro bikes, it just makes me sad. There is little market for it because most people just throw away (sell) the bike after a season or two and it's all clapped out, never really caring to have top performing suspension. I can definitely see Push's point. It's not so much that there's no market, as it is that no one really gives a fuck anymore about decent suspension.

Nothing brings a year to my eye like all of those one year old $7k Enduro bikes sitting out on the curb waiting for the garbage man to pick them up.

My old Delirium-T with a CCDB had spherical bearings. That was like 2008.

Not too much chatter on here about these guys that I've found. Expensive sure, but so are Push and Ohlins. Now with a US presence I expect to see more of these around sooner or later. Any 1st hand experience with their shocks?

Y U not looking at Mr.P? (MRP)

FWIW, I still love a Fox X2. So many adjustments, you could literally tune a turd into a diamond.

I haven't ridden one. Have you tried the Raze? Props for still supporting DH bikes.

What's in their shock damper? I am coming to a conclusion that the damper in the coil fork is too simplistic for a lot of riding.

The MRP Raze is an Elka Stage 5 with black ano bits instead of red. Licensed the design from Elka.

MRP also acquired the bicycle devision of Elka, and is bringing their technologies to market under the MRP name. The Raze 2CR coil shock has rebound, low and high-speed compression adjustments. Other features include a high-flow, high-volume external reservoir, hard ano aluminum shaft, body...

@Nick - Do you know Nick? Instagram handle : nick_rides_two_wheels

I know him. He just posted that he loves his new Estoria. Albeit for an enduro bike. (Scott Ransom). He's not slow, I'd trust his opinion.

I think he also posts as Streetdoctor on empty beer.

That's all I know about Ext at the moment, unfortunately...

I don't as I practice social media distancing, but thanks. Il shuttle as much as I can and try to dial in this dhx2 before doing anything dumb.

Well...

You know what I mean.

EXT is being distrutibed by The Suspension Syndicate here in Utah. They are a good group of guys. I only meet them at the Local Races. But they have a fast group of racers on them. I hear they are super supportive in the mid stroke and feel bottomless. They custom tune each shock for the bike and rider.
