Im thinking of buying a used bike that has a PUSHed Boxxer.
Not a big fan of Boxxers but I imagine the PUSHed version might be sweet.
Anyone ever have the chance to ride one?
Yeah I hate to disagree with everyone else, except Curb Hucker of course because he's right Darren has done some Boxxers, my bud has one. It's pretty sweet, def a huge improvement over the stock internals.
Tracerjohn, what bike is it your looking at, if you don't mind my asking?
Boxxers have a orofice damper, like a marzocchi Jr T. The high end marzocchis and fox forks share similer damping systems, although with the fox fork they can actually be taken apart and you can modify the piston, or install a completely new one, which is what PUSH does.
When (if) push works on a boxxer, it isn't going to be the same thing as when they work on fox forks. There's no "piston" in the boxxer, there's only orofices and such, so while there might be some improvements they can make, it's not going to be the same thing as getting a fox fork modified.
I thought Push was supposed to come out with a cartridge damper for the boxxer sometime soon though? That would make it work more like fox forks.
uh, I am assuming nothing, I am telling people that the boxxer is inherently different than the fox, so "pushing" a boxxer is not going to mean the same thing as simply replacing a piston, like is done in the fox. It's going to be an entirely different process. That much is fact.

uhh, you still dont get it. The PUSH mods that have been done may have involved a total damper build. You dont exactly know what he's done, that much is fact.
dont take the verb 'PUSHed' too litterally. Plus the Vanilla damper mods involved all new parts that didnt exist in stock form.

Uh, you don't get it. The boxxer "damper" is physically totally different than the fox. I know you know this, but the point is that I don't think everyone does, or is aware that a "push" modification for a boxxer is going to be totally different than what happens to a fox fork.
ALL I am saying is that whatever he does for the boxxer is completely different than what he does to the fox (installing a new piston valved for the rider, blah blah blah).
Yes, push may do a total damper rebuild, change the oil, install a cartridge damper, whatever, the point is that it's not what happens to the fox fork, and I'd bet you an 888RC that there's a good deal of people that don't know this and just assume that whatever a suspension company does is "magic".

No piston in the Boxxer huh Than what is the thing at the end of the pumping rod with the o-rings on it. The Fox is a sealed unit unlike a Marz and can't be taken apart. The guys at Push are a little ahead of their time because they do good research, and have a knack for fine tuning forks and shocks. They don't do sloppy "production" work either.

if it is a racers bike it might have some "huge" hard ridden miles on that bike...especially if it is from southern california (San Diego/Orange County)....work a deal accordinally
..."PUSH'D"... Anything that has been sent in to be worked on at Push Ind., technically has been "PUSH'D" , whether just an overhaul or platform upgrade, Fox shock or whatever. Of course that's just my opinion...Man.

Yeah push did some mods to Boxxers for the Tuner Honda Team, a friend of mine has one....O don't know what he did, but it rides nothing like a stock boxxer...

I don't think it's a that's big of a secret......I've seen several for sale on here...plus another guy a race against has one....there is even a DHR with the rear shock on it for sale on here. If Darren was really worried about it, he woulda made them give the forks back.
