Just wondering whether anyone has done it and whether it is actually worth the extra money, can you tell the difference??

Cheers

Had my DHX coil pushed made quite a bit of difference,made it better on small stuff(roots) and handled the bigger stuff nicer,Felt less harsh through its travel.

Had a Septune serviced and pushed a few years ago and yes it did make a fair bit of difference all across the travel. Just waiting for a call that the parts are in so I can send off my 2010 RP23 with the large volume can, as it blows throught he travel to quick for my liking when set at the correct sag and I don't like the ride when I run it harder

I had my septune pushed as well. Made a massive difference to the ride of my stumpy, and TFT are very good to deal with too.

Anyone see the mag test standard fox, pushed fox and some other shocks ? Standard fox came out on top. Carlos sound like you need a standard vol air sleeve to me.

Yeah read the test. We spoke about it when I called them and based on the chat settled for the Push tune. I agree though in what your saying as my old RP23 was fine with the smaller air can.

I had my Fox Float on the back of my Enduro PUSHed a while back and am still very pleased with the results. The rear suspension tracks noticably better, just as well in fact as the Romic coil I occasionally use.

Recommended.

Carlos pop the c-clip off on your hv air can remove the outter sleeve, fill it with grease refit. Reduced volume air sleeve.

Carlos- as per mr frosty-Remove can and fill with something. I used plastic Drinks bottle,Cut sections out and fitted them,until you get the ride characteristics you want.

The biggest problem is that you'll end up having to have all your future shocks pushed.

Carlos, as per nicolaisam's post..I'd try the shim out before sending to TF. Its an actual Fox procedure, you can buy shims from Fox.

Grease in the hv air can is the answer for reduced air volume and curing the problem. ๐Ÿ˜€
