Push Industries 2008 Special Race program

Feb 20, 2008

News Source: Push Industries

PUSH INDUSTRIES - to put forth vigorous or persistent efforts. As we move further into 2008 PUSH Industries is excited to announce a new development program geared specifically towards the Downhill Racing segment of the marketplace.



Darren Murphy from PUSH commented, “Our goal really is to see what kind of performance we can get out of MTB suspension if we remove the thinking that we’re restricted by the stock shock or fork chassis. It’s not that we’re working with junk, in fact far from it! Today’s MTB suspension components are precision works of art with tremendous performance and reliability. At the same time however, manufactures have to stay within certain guidelines to deliver the product to the mass market. We have some great resources such as our leverage rate analysis hardware and software, on-board data logging, dynamometer, and CNC machining capabilities all under our roof so we feel like we’re really well equipped to take this on.”




The first program for test riders will be focused around the new Rock Shox Vivid rear shock. Specifically the Santa Cruz V10 and Iron Horse Sunday platforms, as both of these bikes have unique characteristics. The new PUSH World Cup Tune features separate external Hi and Low speed compression adjust, bringing the Vivid into the company of the Cane Creek Double Barrel as a completely adjustable 4-way damping system. This combined with new proprietary seal and wiper systems designed specifically for maximum sealability and minimum friction, 5th generation VxR high flow internal main cylinder piston, reservoir extension for increased oil and gas volume, bottoming system, and position-locking adjustable spring retainer all ensure that this unit will be ready to rip!

They did a great job with my boxxers. Granted I mounted them on a peice of crap but the forks are great.

Anyone in here have a push modded roco. I just blew a seal and Im not sure if I want to spend the extra coin and have these dudes rebuild and maybe tune it. Any ideas?

I just got my 08 Pushed Roco today which I'm going to mount on my Nomad. will let you know what I think - but judging from Pushed past track record, I'm positive it's going to feel great! but only time in the saddle will tell.

the DB is like 700 w/o a spring. a vivid w/o a spring is like 400. unless PUSHing costs less than 300, aren't you better off getting a DB?

a DB is $650 US retail with a spring.

Not necessarily. The PUSH internals are better than any OEM parts they replace. If a PUSH'd Van-R outperforms a stock DHX 5.0, that should tell you something...
