In my experience, for what it's worth, I much prefer EXT to avalanche or push. Note that EXT is typically around $1250 which is more expensive than this Push SV Eight shock at $865 (but less than the Push 11-6 at $1600). A few years ago I installed a Push HC97 into a Rockshox w/ smashpot coil and only noticed a minor improvement from the stock damper. I just switched to a Charger 2.1 Ultimate with smashpot coil and and the Charger is so much better for me. So that doesn't give me any incentive to try Push's shocks. Regarding Avalanche, a few years ago I had Avalanche install their internals in my Bomber CR shock and I barely noticed a difference, if any. For me, the avalanche was not worth the money. I just bought a used EXT Storia v3s and it is way better than the avalanche'd shock.

MUST WATCH: Brage Vestavik & Nico Vink in 'Sandscape Eternal'

The speed he was going at around 16:13 mark was insane! Reminds me of Where the Trail Ends. We need more of this!

So good! So gnarly! Would love to see more of this raw style at rampage. Maybe do a separate rampage event where riders only get 1 dig day to just rough in there line

Spotted: Canyon's High-Pivot Carbon Sender - Fort William DH World Cup 2024

Was thinking the same thing. Wonder if they are having to get creative to get around current patents

I think it is different in a few ways. The main difference is the canyon is essentially a linkage driven single pivot. The axle path is controlled only by the seat stay. The Norco has a pivot on the seat stay before the axle, which kind of makes it an upside down FSR.

They probably used the boom lift shown in the background (to the right of the tank) in the first shot. I know no one asked, but that water tank is likely 32' tall. Usually steel water tanks are built with standard 8' wide steel plates and usually don't cut the plates shorter, even if they don't need the extra height. There appears to be four courses of 8' plate, so 32' feet high. The foundation is right at ground level, so the drop is about 32' vertical to top of the landing.
