First time in a long time that I don't have a Mezzer in my shed so I'm fence sitting. If I had never experienced the Intend forks I'd have been the first one on the list (I had been asking for this kit for years). I should probably just buy it to have sitting on a shelf....just in case.

Interesting see cost of Push’s coil fork vs Mezzer with coil and required Smashpot parts.

Down on the left!
I reckon most that would be considering the Smashpot/Mezzer probably already have a SP in a fork or sitting under a bench and likely have a Mezzer already. I don’t see many splashing out for Mezzer,Shocrsft kit and a Smashpot as a new all up purchase so not really comparing apples to apples maybe? Push price will still stupid anyway.
Mezzer FTW whichever way you look at it.
Big outlay just to get a coiled Mezzer from scratch. Wish I had that sort of kit under my work bench

Wasn't hope in financial trouble recently?

That was Orange. Although given their prices I'd be amazed if Hope makes much profit on half their stuff, unless most of their manufacturing is automated.

The Mavens mean business, with a significant power increase over Codes. Oh, and they use mineral oil.

Interesting they've switched to mineral oil. Sram PR: Through testing it was determined that mineral oil offered the best performance (outperforming DOT versions) while also offering desired lower maintenance qualities.Nothing on the new SRAM Mavens?

There's a lot of "pick a fluid type, and be a dick about it" as usual in the PB comments.
Also lots of people still think it's fine to not wear gloves with mineral oil as it's not as toxic as DOT.

NSMB is probably my go-to review site. They don’t get much stuff but what they review, they do well with plenty of detail, and honestly.

Yeah same, the MTB world could use more of their irreverent content. The Pistons and Pivots articles are gold.

That’s a highlight for me.
I like their side-by-side comparisons and reading some of Andrew Majors iterative changes is always good reading and someone who like the scientific method he follows
