With all the bad reviews of these being problematic in stock form, are they any better after pushed overhauled? Or does only a select few call these a post and there is nothing wrong at all with the rp23.
Fox rp23?
- Thread starter KCmtbr
- Start date
we've never had one come back for any type of warranty through our shop.
i also just ordered one with my new bike (hopefully sending the Kashima RP23)

I just picked up a 2009 for 100 $ Hope all is well, but I guess at that price its worth the 160 for push rebuild if need be.
if you know how to properly setup and adjust a shock you'll be fine; i suspect a lot of the issues are caused by people who don't know what they're doing
They're fine shocks. Just keep in mind there are a lot of variables with regards to tuning them these days (air volume cans, compression and rebound tunes).
Ride it before you spend money on push. I've got three bikes with rp23s, and the one I wanted to change got pushed to achieve something pretty specific. Push does decent work for sure but just make sure it's something worth bothering with first. It might not be.

Well I know it will fit the frame, I only weigh 175 and typicly ride moderate rock gardens. I will download the owners manual for proper set up for my weight if it has it.

I'm pretty pleased with my RP2 on my Fuel...no problems in three years...
I've had an RP23 w/boost for over a year on my bottlerocket and it sees anything from trails to jumps to moderate DH at Winter Park and Sol Vista. The only issue I've had was after a 12 minute DH run it gets really hot and slightly inconsistent. I've broken my float 36 on the same bike twice and this shock has never given me an issue.
