Can not afford Elka

This canadian dudes sent me their price list and it is just rediculus. The Elite series went all the way up to almost 1500$ for a pair. That is crazy.
Do you thinks guys there are better deals with AXIS or PEP??
Everyone says Elka is the best but they went a little crazy

check out motowoz.com. 1285 for a set of fully adjustable shocks. Way better then elka's too in my and many people's who have actually ridden them opinions.

Also check into Stadium's. I am not sure on price, but C&Dracing can help you there. They are awesome shocks!!

Was that 1500USD or CND? You know there is a difference!!??

If you had the prices in canadian, use xe.com to convert it in anything you want. Also, the elite's got low and high speed compression and rebound adjust, which will add quite a few bucks to the total price. I don't think more than 0.001% of the guys here can ride elka elite shocks to their potential. I got pep zps with comp only adjustability and I just don't know yet how I will be able to ride them over their potential....

If you are a weekend rider all that you need with a tripple rate rec. series setup with no ressy.

Custom Axis and PEP's are usually more pricy than Elka for a compareable shock.

JUST BOUGHT 3 MONTHS AGO FRONT ELKAS TRIPLE RATE PIGGYS.
FOR 1195.IN N.J

Very few people actually need the elite series shock. Most people that buy them do so because the don't understand suspension and just want to be sure they got the best. If your a racer the triple rate with compression adjustment would be sufficient.

I'd be looking into TCS shocks. Todd builds some of the best stuff out there.

if you're looking to spend less money just get a Recreational Series set from Elka, I think they are about $800 or so, I could be off though

here ya go..

Most of the time you get what you pay for. The Elkas are some good shocks made custom then dynoed.

the shocks spader runs on his yfz look super nice "the sixth sence" there is a review on ********.com and they are definetly trick! Check em out. If not I'll sell my elka longtravel 19.25in fully adj. (compression and rebound) just got back from service with zero ride time for 800.00

i have the compression and rebound adjust elkas with piggy back with long travel a arms .. elka set them up perfect theres nothin that i would change , they hold up good and are worth the money .. major difference

Posted by: fasterthanyouex

the elka rec shocks are still very good but they arent all adjustable.

Posted by: 400exMO

That's an outrageous price. I just paid 900 usd for a pair of ST triple rate comp. adj. elkas.

I dont know what quad the origional poster has.. but getting a pair of stock shocks that are comp/reb adjustable revalved and resprung is a great way to go.. especially for a rec rider.
