long travel

[JAKE79]

is long travel elka shocks (front and rear) really worth the eatra money? i plan on doing a few mx races but racing is not my main thing. i do a lot of trail riding.

The Elka LT is a sweet setup. But do you really need a LT front end? Do you really need Elka? Elka is a one of the best shocks you can buy but there are other shocks that perform very well for a lot less money. I am not going to get into a pissing match between which shock is better. You can search the forum to see what others have stated previously.

Personally, I have just ordered and received +2 Burgard arms with Works Triple Rates w/ rezzies. I mainly ride trails and dunes, but MX is in my near future.

If you have the money get the LT stuff. Any long travel setup is better than standard. Next time I knock off a bank I"m goin LT up front....:macho
