I actually typed that first, but dossier (thanks Tubs) was more pertinent.

I run coil rear on my dualies (ccdb coil and ohlins ttx22m) and a coil fork (cc helm) on my HT. Super impressed with the rear. So much support when bombing down descend yet still very poppy over jumps. The latter is only applicable to ccdb, the ohlins not so much, but most likely it's because of the overall frame designed more for super enduro/dh.
I like the cc helm. It's very plush, but I wouldn't say it's much much better than the air forks (rs lyrik) that I had on it before. However, I only had it for few weeks, ridden it at most 3 times. So need to spend more time tuning it better for final conclusion.

Eats cheese. Sells crack.
Running a fox rear and pike with acs on the front. On the bigger bike.
And fox rp23 and air pike on the smaller bike.
Geo close enough on both bikes.
The coil helps when the day is getting a bit long and I’m starting to fatigue. It’s a shame the pike chassis keeps creaking though. I’ll just get an mrp next time I think.

I however am very normal. Trust me.
A mates got a 170mm CC helm custom made direct from CC, amazingly nice fork and at a very competitive local price. When they release a 170mm for regular peeps I shall be buying one.

I posted in this thread a while ago and wasn’t convinced of the merits of a coil shock on my old Specialized Enduro due to the regressive linkage. Had to run max compression damping to dial out bottom out, and really took the fun out of the bike.
Have now had the benefit of running it on a bike more suited to a coil shock (Evil Insurgent with a dual progressive linkage), and there’s a marked difference. Emailed Evil and they provided me with some base setting to work from which weren’t far off, just required a little more HSC and LSR.
It’s so sensitive off the top, that it leaves the Lyrik on the front feeling a little wooden. Much easier to dial out bottom out all but the biggest hits.
I suspect it’s the progressive linkage which means it still has ‘pop’ and dials up the fun factor which was missing on the coil spring Enduro.
I wasn’t sold before but I’m aboard the hype train now. Next step is an ACS3 conversion for the front so the fork can keep up!

I've just ordered the new Vorsprung Smashpot. Went on sale yesterday.
Some nice benefits over the Push ACS3.

Oh damn. Would love to hear a review once you’ve given it a run.
Did you order direct from Vorsprung?
Can’t seem to find any guide with respect to spring rate for a given rider weight on their website.

I ordered direct. Not a cheap upgrade, about $520 with expidited shipping.

Very keen for updates on this!Smashpot installed and ready for the maiden rip today!
Lovely bit of engineering.
Feels unbelievably plush off the top during a quick around the block test run.
