Wow, I literally just missed your post. I can't believe single day lift ticket prices these days. Makes me want to puke.

skiing our here got insanely expensive the past 4-5 seasons. $200+-ish for many/most resorts.
anyway back to the fork. @PUSHIND thanks for chiming in on tech, popcorn valves, and ridemonkey economics. Anything else you can share about internals, performance (I know, most advanced damper...) that we can geek out on?
Everyone said the same things about cost when the Eleven Six was released, as I recall.
How many of those things have you sold since launch?

Last week I overheard someone commenting on a $9.00 taco as 'reasonable'skiing our here got insanely expensive the past 4-5 seasons. $200+-ish for many/most resorts.

$9 taco, $2600 fork... What's the difference aye?
Drumf
Do they know the difference between a taco and a quesadilla? Are they Canadian?
Sometimes I forget you mean US pricing. I just checked and that PUSH fork is $4000 AUD. Holy hell.
Out of interest - what did the SPV Dorado cost when it came out in the US? That was bonkers expensive over here (like $3K but in 2005 or whatever).

Yes. This.So what I'm gathering from all of this ski talk is that this thread should be renamed "Push's $2,600 fork is absurdly well priced" ?
Yes you do. Everything is better when it's Push. I'm actually serious on that one.
Speaking of serious:
I heard they're doing 11.6oz filet mignon. Pushed. of course. I'm totally down with that. As long as it's not covered in bacon. But actually, I'm not opposed to the bacon option, either. I'll just take the suspension fluid on the side. No rock shox butter cream, please
Which is more authentic ?
I was just in Colorado. The most overheard term was "venture capital"
I mean it’s the most advanced mtb fork ever.So what I'm gathering from all of this ski talk is that this thread should be renamed "Push's $2,600 fork is absurdly well priced" ?
you could have at least added a linkage tho
You must have been drinking Darren, if that's what you've got from this. The UK pricing is absurd at £2600 though!So what I'm gathering from all of this ski talk is that this thread should be renamed "Push's $2,600 fork is absurdly well priced" ?
The first one was shipped weeks ago!
Have a pint in Earls Court and the fork will seem like a steal compared to the 384 Range Rovers that pass by!
Kidding aside, I realize that it's very expensive. We build a different type of product.
Nope. I will hang shit on anyone that buys one. We making our sport exclusive? It shouldn’t be. Rich Joe will be equally slow on this fork as say his 36.So what I'm gathering from all of this ski talk is that this thread should be renamed "Push's $2,600 fork is absurdly well priced" ?
last time i checked the introduction of an expensive / top end product had no impact on the price of entry level equipment.
I don't understand the idea of shitting on someone that can afford one or the idea that if they can afford our suspension that they're automatically slow or unskilled.
It's not about exclusivity, it's about product performance and scale of business. Rock Shox and FOX are enormous OEM companies with significant resources. We are not. We are a small team of people in Colorado focused on building small-volume aftermarket performance products.
Shit on me for my decision to build a factory in Colorado using a skilled workforce, or my product decisions. Please don't shit on our customers who purchase and support our company.
even if they are dentists?
I am a poor trail ninja that wants suspension products that going boing boing and dont wallow out in a season. I absolutely dont care about knobs and clicks. I just want it to soften the blow when I am about to eat shit/case something.
Like a coil fork with no bells and whistles that costs under a grand! Take my tokens!!
Continuing to reply to the responses in here has swayed my opinion on buying one.
Now I must have.
I am one of your customers, that is why I made the thread.
if I start making money like I did a couple years ago I might buy the form. I’ll be the mid 40’s guy riding slow with it. Mostly because I’m just out of shape.
I just shit on a dentist yesterday on the trail, but forgot to see what fork they had... Sorry 'bout that if she was your customer.
Totally agree with you.
But just to put some context on it the UK RRP of a BOXXER is actually £2099 (or $2700 USD at the current exchange rate. Almost makes this Push thing seem reasonable.
Except. Cycling is a fucking stupid hobby. And some of its enthusiasts actually do pay full UK RRP for stuff.
Yeah. Mental.
Disagree strongly
Did I miss the announcement where fox raised their prices because push released a fork?
