Awesome fork planted even in extremely rough sketchy trails where 38 and ZEB couldn’t handle very well but this is the magical fork like a baja suspension in a MTB but better. The faster or slower you go don’t matter is a beast in performance do it all. I Loved it.
I’ve had the 9.1 and 11.6 on for a few months now and they are unbelievable together. The first ride with the 9.1 was eye opening. I thought my Zeb ultimate was the best fork I would ever have. Now I don’t want to ride my other bikes unless it’s somewhere smooth. It’s an expensive combo but worth every penny.
I asked for a 140mm fork that grips the ground and Push delivered. This fork holds the line, handles successive hits, rides high in the stroke, and doesn't dive when coming off an obstacle. It really softens the impact to your upper body. I haven't even touched any adjusters. Thanks Push!
I think it's pretty impossible to describe the experience of owning and riding a fork like the nine one. Just like my Push 11:6, the performance blew my mind.
In fact I laughed at how ridiculously good the nine one ate up the most technical terrain I ride, big nasty roots and rocks it took square hits like nothing I have experienced before on any other suspension platform. The stiffness is exceptional yet the in corner grip is not compromised what so ever. The lines you can take, and hold are laughable.
Everyone gets hung up on the price and the weight it seems, but the weight in no way has affected anything what so ever. It's just a number.
The price. Well you either understand what Push Industries is or you buy a stock fork from a mainstream brand that will have a different damper next season.
Going back to compare to the 11:6 (ridden one for 5 years) that shock has taken me on some hard riding and racing, it had never missed a beat, never begged for a service but it's always got one, it's worked meticulously, mile after mile, trail after trail which made buying the NineOne a no brainer...... exceptional performance and knowing I will get excellent longevity just like I've experienced with the 11:6. With a setup for Me, not the general population.
Excellent work everyone at PUSH, you are magicians. 💪
The NINE One's upper structure features a bold design that mirrors its impressive performance. This unique structure eliminates the limitations of traditional mountain bike forks, allowing our engineers to achieve a new level of tuning precision. Factors such as crown overlap, tube diameter, tube wall thickness, tube taper, and material selection all contribute to this innovation. The optimized design enhances stiffness to effectively handle high-impact forces, while providing the ideal torsional compliance for exceptional cornering performance.
Coil-sprung forks provide instant traction and improved small bump sensitivity due to their lack of air system friction, while air forks excel in handling big impacts. But what if you could have the best of both worlds? Inspired by our highly successful ACS3 coil system, the NINE ONE offers new levels of refinement and adjustability. It combines all the advantages of both coil and air spring systems into one uncompromising package.
