Wasn’t sure I wanted to spend $2250 on a fork but after riding it a few times now all I can say is I’m happy I did. I have no doubt it’s the best fork I have ever ridden in the 28 years of riding.
SUSPENSION UPGRADE: Push 9.1 Coil Fork, 170mm, Amflow ebike.
Preliminary observations:
PLUSH: Rode my square edge rock trail again today. (Last week it drew blood from my end-over , the stock fork was a wrestling match, and I had to go fast to bulldozer through the chunder). Now at speed the rocks were butter, and at slow speed, it wasn't a fight. Maybe a combination of the friction free coil design, longer travel, and slacker head angle?
PRECISE: I was concerned that the slacker head angle, heavier fork, and upside down design would lead to a sluggish, sloppy noodle. WRONG. This feels much more precise than the stock Fox 36. Switchbacks and maneuvering around rocks at slow speed... like a Porsche. Slippery side hill rocks and roots... no twist and lots more grip. Hard braking... no squirming. It's cool that this fork (as many do) allow you to choose 150, 160 or 170, but there is no need to go back to a shorter travel fork!)
COMFORT: This is half of the key to my long rides next summer. My wrists were happy. At 65 years old, my goal is fun fitness... not torture. Next week the Push shock arrives. I look forward to completing the perfect set-up. Today the bike rode like a mule in places. The front end was nimble and happy as a cat, the rear Fox shock was like a mule... trying to buck me off. Wish I had a video of it! Today's ride saves me the experience of riding a bull in a rodeo (sort of).
PUSH INDUSTRIES: I love supporting a small local company in Colorado, USA. In my humble opinion, Darren the owner, has thought a lot of this stuff through with much more refinement than the big boys.
I was hesitant purchasing a fork that cost almost as much as my frame and shock combo, but I’m so glad I did. THIS is what suspension is supposed to feel like. I’m on the lighter side of the scale and have never experienced a fork like this. I’ve had other premium forks but this one is way beyond any of those. I was also worried about the added weight, but I don’t even notice it while riding. I’m 110% satisfied with my purchase and love the ease of the 50 hour service via bleed ports and a syringe. Thanks PUSH for providing such a wonderful product AND including the 27.5” community!
Absolutely amazing . Coming from fox38 . The nine one just blows it out the park .
True innovation goes beyond engineering—it transforms the way you ride. By removing compromise, we’ve redefined what performance feels like: smoother, more controlled, and more connected to the trail. The result is simple—a better riding experience, every single time.
Sub Chamber Off: Plush and Linear
Sub Chamber On: Supportive and Composed for high-speed, heavy impacts
Push harder, ride deeper, and stay in control. Hydraulic Bottom Out Control gives you smooth, progressive support at the end of your travel, so every landing feels confident, controlled, and dialed.
A speed-sensitive hydraulic bottom-out system automatically increases damping at the end of the stroke, responding to shaft speed rather than position. The result is smooth, full-travel performance with controlled support on big hits — no harsh bottoming, just confidence and control when you need it most.
