Push vs EXT

Problems


Have you had a chance to use either? Or you want to unload one of them unused?

What a humble brag. Jeez.

Which one matches your Aston Martin paint job best?

Which shock performs better on your bike? Keep that one.

EXT's perform best on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Run the Push on all the other days.

Sell the Push. go through the tuning/learning process for the EXT.

Send the EXT to Push for a custom tune.

Mount the 11-6 on your car as a hood ornament.

If you owned both the 11-6 and the Storia but had to sell one, which one would you sell? I bought both for my new build because I couldn’t decide which one I wanted, now I can’t decide which one to sell.

What bike is it on?

I currently have both, but on different bikes. They are both excellent, but if I were forced, I would probably keep the Push. It suits my riding style more. It feels very planted, and the grip is extremely good. With that said, l really do like the Storia, but the only reason I don't have two ElevenSix shocks is that Push only supports specific frames, so I tried the Storia out for my Troy.

It's a good problem to have. Alternative idea, just build a second bike and use both.

Easy decision for me, my Arma kicks pretty hard on square-edged bumps, not absorbing the trail.

I'm wondering sort of the same thing, but considering Avalanche Chubie as well.

I have push 11-6 375lb spring buttery custom tune on one slayer and ext arma 400lb spring non custom tune (purchases second Hand on the other slayer.

11-6 slayer is set up for super steep mountain slaying. So back end softer because most the time the rear is unweighted through the know.

Arma is the bike park basher set up firmer for schralping burns, and hitting bike snapping ****.

Surprise surprise. The 11-6 gobbles the offcamber knobs like a taiwanese ladyboy. The arma with the hbc absorbs the big hits like a sumo wrestlers belly.


So......... Do you want ladyboy like knob gobbling capability or sumo belly absorption?

Tough call. Are there any other options?

Pretty sure you don't have shocks as per what Push normally produce though (if I remember reading it in the Dougal/Push thread)....don't you have Norm to thank for getting your Push shocks to work well?

I guess you could aim for a sumoladyboy.

yeah, I’ve used both of them. Ran each for about a weeks worth of riding.

That was another option. If I went that route I’d probably end up repurposing the Storia since I could send it to Mojo for the rebuild, not sure what I could do with the Push here in the UK.

I have a Chubie on another bike. It's one of the best you can get. I've not ridden a shock that LSC to HSC changes over so fast. I have the Storia now. Got a good deal on it with the bike and it's lighter than the Chubie or Push by a decent amount so I gave it a try and am pleased with it.
