Push Industries is releasing their third version of the Elevensix rear shock, with this iteration dubbed S-Series. The bulk of the changes are seemingly focused on damping and on-trail feel and thus riders who already have an Elevensix can send their units in to be updated with the new internals. This is possible due to the fact that no *major* changes have been made to the chassis externally. For all of the details straight from the horses mouth, read on in the press release below…
[Press Release] – While similar in appearance with its distinctive fully CNC machined design, the new 3rd generation ELEVENSIX (S-Series) packs significant performance updates.
New Damping Architecture
- Improved Low-Speed damping characteristic to provide increased traction at low speeds
- Mid Speed damping characteristics revised to provide a more lively (poppy) feel
- Increased end-stroke Hydraulic Bottoming Piston progressiveness providing an even more bottomless feelIncreased response time over high-frequency bumps resulting in less harshness
- Improved High-Speed Compression in Mid-Stroke to eliminate “dead, or overdamped feel”
- Improved external adjustment range for easier trail tuning
Backwards Compatibility
Also available to previous “R-Series” customers is our new Performance Pack Upgrade ($160 USD). This upgrade is available to all R-Series shock customers when sending in their shock to any of our global service centers for a Factory Rebuild ($190 USD). This kit excludes external cosmetic components but will install all the performance updates and tunes found in the newer S-Series.
60 Day Performance Guarantee
Each ELEVENSIX comes with a Factory Settings Card and online tuning guide specific to each bike. We also have a team of experts available M-F, 9-5pm Mountain Time via phone, email, and live-person online chat to help you optimize your setup. While it is rare, sometimes those efforts are exhausted and a retune is necessary. In the first 60 days, retunes are free of charge with the customer only paying for shipping.
Dedicated e-mtb version
Pedal assist mountain bikes put more demand on suspension components. Our E-MTB specific ELEVENSIX model shocks feature a Melonite QPQ high strength steel shaft, along with compression and rebound damping characteristics specifically tailored to E-MTBs. These specific tunes provide unmatched small bump sensitivity and traction while supporting the extra mass of the frame with a bottomless feel on the trail.
The easiest way to upgrade your suspension without knowing anything about suspension
It’s one thing to build a high performing, adjustable rear shock. It’s another to do so in a way that allows the customer to simply bolt and go. With ELEVENSIX, each shock is built to the specific bike application taking into consideration frame design, linkage characteristic, and intended use. PUSH engineers spend countless hours riding each individual bike using advanced diagnostic tools, analyzing and sweating the details that will ultimately make up the final recipe. This focus on research allows us to deliver a shock with the necessary spring, mounting hardware, and preset ride settings.
Size specific bottoming system
All S-Series shocks feature a completely redesigned bottoming system that is optimized to the shock’s stroke, eliminating compromises found in mid and short travel shocks. This system features new bottoming bumper designs to increase spring progressivity and works in conjunction with our speed sensitive internal Hydraulic Bottoming Piston providing seamless bottoming performance. Both systems are also independent from each other, as well as from the main damping circuits allowing for completely independent tuning.
Created in Colorado
It’s not enough to say, “Hand Assembled”. Great pride is taken in the meticulous detail that comes in designing, manufacturing, and yes, “hand assembling” of a product. We are Creators, Tinkerers, Pioneers. Each day we strive to come up with fresh ideas, engineering them from advanced 3D computer models, then building prototypes, testing them and breaking them. We build each component over and over again; riding, evaluating, discussing and modifying until we’re satisfied. We generate (and recycle!) piles of aluminum shavings, ultimately turning those prototypes into really, really good suspension components. When we say, “Made Here,” we mean it. From the initial concept to applying the label on your shipping box, we pride ourselves on start to finish, high-quality suspension products. Are there easier ways? Sure. Is easy the PUSH way? Absolutely not.
Each PUSH component is precision manufactured under our roof here in Colorado by passionate people using state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing equipment and measuring systems. Our products are then assembled by skilled technicians, quality checked by meticulous eyes and hands and delivered to you, backed by the best customer service in the business.
