I like my suspension Poppy! 

Switched to Push front and rear while on vacay in CO a few weeks ago. A week with air on my Transition Scout, and a week with Coil and I’m so so glad I went back to Push for this new frame. I love the feel and adjustability. Worth it all.

Great video!! Will definitely share this with my groups!

Thanks Darren for making this video and of course the shock! Currently running an R Series with a 400lb. spring (165lb. kitted up) on my V2 Sentinel that was originally specced with a Super Deluxe. Transition did a great job with the stock tune but it's known to have a stiff rear end. I was confident a coil would help with compliance but could only hope that I could keep the pop alive with the 11-6. I can honestly say it's unlocked even more potential out of the bike. It takes to the air at every chance, more supportive when loaded, better bottom out control, rear is more composed in the rough, all without any compromises to climbing. The ownership experience is also on another level, it's awesome to reach out and have the owner respond personally to your questions. Looking forward to fitting the S series upgrades on my first service!

When I first got my 11-6 shock it came set up soooo dang poppy and playful I was completely blown away by this. It was too much so I backed off the low speed around 7 clicks and some high speed as well. Such a great rear shock. It’s so dynamic.

Excellent video and so well explained. I'm riding two bikes with 11/6 shocks (Transition Sentinel & Forbidden Druid) and I'm loving the coil shock on both bikes.

Show us the fork! 😅

Damn wish rhey supported GG! Love the dual over head valve feature!

Best shock on the market! Bring on an amazing fork! Have a great day guys!

What makes this difficult is that riders can have widely varying ideas of ‘pop’ and how to accomplish it. I like to run a bunch of lsc and hsc which gives me a ‘platform’ to push against (ie pushing faster than the suspension compresses). Others like jeff kendall weed tend to go for very soft suspension and slightly faster rebound, probably to push the bike deep into its stroke, which then rebounds with a similar end effect. I think both can be achieved with coil, although a small volume airshock ramps up quicker, resulting in more pushback and in that sense, pop.

Poppy feeling comes from increased damping. who knew that absorbing energy could be energetic. dude you're out of your mind.

Clever design

Hi Darren! I just got a new bike. A transition sentinel. I really want try your coil. The only trepidation I have is weight. Am I being silly? Have any idea the actual weight difference?

I think decreasing LSC makes the bike feel more poppy. More energy will then be returned. LSC damping slows down, and dissipates energy, so less energy will be returned in the form of rebound. Just my 2c.

Guys, I have an ACS3 in my Fox 36 170m. I run a Zipp 3 moto on the front which is so good for grip and compliance. I’m probably 82-85 kg filly kitted up. I think I have a blue spring but I use about 90% travel on most runs. Don’t often bottom out but also my trails don’t have big drops and jumps but more steep tech of Scotland etc. do I go up a spring to the green to make the front of the bike higher or look to play about with more low speed compression? Will the stiffer spring make a big difference and allow me to run less compression but a bit more LSR to compensate? Cheers Jonny

Thanks Darren i ve just turned into a Push on my Forbidden dreadnought and is it normal that with the Lsc and hsc fully open and the rebound too the shock feels not farst at all? Feel like the rebound is half closed. Thank you I cannot sleep thinking why😢

how's the compatibility with sb 140. I heard it doesn't feel good with coil.

what is the weight compared to a high end air shock

How does friction cause it to feel poppy? I'm not sure I follow your explanation. If you take the example of adding more damping to the extreme, and just lock the a shock out, would that be very poppy?
