Whats the difference between Custom Valving and Push Tuning on my DHX?
Custom valving improves the ride of your DHX to stop it blowing through the travel and also helps the shock to feel less vague when cornering or riding g-outs. This is done by adding shims to control oil flow through the piston. These are configured to rider weight, leverage ratio and riding preference. This is included with the cost of the standard service on the DHX. Push Tuning removes the piston bolt, piston assembly and existing bottom out pad. These are replaced with Push parts to make the ride feel a lot more taught and predictable. It stops the flat tyre feeling in some situations by stopping the shock packing down on repeated big hits giving a less harsh feel. It also allows the shock to be set up fairly linear as the longer, tunable conical bottom out pad controls the end of the stroke. The improvement is most noticeable when banging it down fast rocky sections where the smoother feel allows greater control with result that you can to go faster.
