![]() ![]() The bike grips really well and I trust the traction much more than I did with the stock DHX. I have adjusted the Multi-Stage Compression adjuster a bit to see how it reacts to different shaped and sized bumps and am impressed by the subtle affect is has on how fast and how much it reacts. ![]() Having a properly valved shock and the ability to tailor mid to high speed bump absorption is all this bike needs. The design itself has addressed these very issues. The Sunday is an incredible bike that does not require a platform nor does it require the level of bottom out resistance found in the stock DHX. You get a nice dull thud like you should. PUSHs exclusive Factory Conical Bottoming Bumper System does a superb job of ramping up the travel at the very end of the stroke just enough to ensure you dont have a harsh bottom out. It eats up small bumps, is predictable over mid sized bumps and bottoms when it should. Adjustments to the compression are much more effective and subtle than with the stock Boost Valve which affected all compression aspects of the shock, often making it feel overly harsh where it need not be. This is not to say it is linear, but that it has smooth unvarying damping through the entire stroke. The new shock is much more constant throughout the entire stoke and has all but solved these quirks. Like I was only riding a 6 travel bike instead of an 8 bike. When jumping, or entering at speed, into rough sections I often felt as though the bike was getting hung-up for the same reason. Instead, the bike felt like it lacked travel and I often got bucked, even when the travel should have been ample enough to have avoided this. With my old DHX and a 350lbs TI spring I could not bottom out my bike, even on large drops and high speed g-outs. No longer did I feel the pro-pedal fighting the bike when trying to settle into its proper sag point or the harsh feeling I got when trying to get proper compression from the stock Boost Valve setup. It was plush from the initial part of the stoke to the very end. Immediately upon throwing a leg over it I could tell that I was on, what felt like, a completely new bike. For the first ride I set the rebound like I normally would, a few turns from all the way out, and turned the compression in only a few clicks so I could get a basic feel for the newly valved shock. The shock popped back into the frame without any issues and I could easily access PUSHs Multi-Stage Compression adjuster. I couldnt wait to get it installed and go for a rip on it. After talking with Peaty at Sea Otter and reading Acadians comprehensive overview on Pinkbike I knew this was the right tune for my application. ![]() Read below if your interested.Īll I can say is WOW! Darren at Push Industries was kind enough to tune the DHX off my Sunday with the new Factory Race System service he has recently added to their offering. I just though that guys with Sundays would be interested in this and it could be useful as there is little information about this shock/bike setup right now. I apologize for this, I am just super busy and didnt have time to rewrite one as a simple post. Let me preface this by saying this is a review I posted on my site which is why it is not really like a typical post style review and more like a web review with all the links and stuff. ![]()
