Best Shock for the price!

[kegger56]

OK I know the shock thing has been talked about to death, but I am still a bit confused. I'm looking for a noticable shock upgrade from stock for a 400EX at an affordable price. I ride mostly sand at a very moderate level. Would I be dissapointed with works?

FOR THE PRICE, elka's are the best shock on the market, no you wil not be dissapointed w/ works, they are 100 times better than stock, but elka is another 100 percent on top of that. if you have ridden a few aftermarket set up w/ elka, pep, axis or even tcs and ohlins shocks, then yes, you will be dissapointed w/ the works, if your used to stock shocks, you will love the works

As always I suppose it's a "you get what you pay for" type deal! I just want to make sure that for my riding style (fairly conservative as compared to most) the difference in price is noticable. Thanks for all those who reply:D

I ordered some Elka tripple rate adj. remote resivor for around $900 shipped today brand new from elka(fronts only) and they were very nice people to deal with. If you are getting shocks, I would recommend Elka:cool:

For the money ELKA. There are better shocks out there but you pay a whole lot more.

I was in the same boat, and was going to buy new works ATsteelers. But I caught a sweet deal on a set of used elkas in great shape for a little more. You will be plenty happy with the works.
I havent even ridden on my Elkas yet:(

You haven't rode with them yet!?!:eek2: I bet you're jonesin:p

I was in the same situation too, planned on buying Works but came across some used PEP's. I'd still like to try Works and Elka though.

i was in the same boat as the other two and i came across a set of tcs for a great price so i bought them and they are great. But for the money if your not racing just get a set of works.

my cosuin had his 440 all torn down and wasnt going to be put back together for a few months so he let me borrow his works triple rates and they were a nice improvemnt over stock, then i road my friends works triple rate with rezies and +2 a-arms and it was even better, then i bought a set of tcs triple rates and love them. elka is a sweet shock but tcs at $700 u wont be disipointed. just my 2 cents

word. u really cant beat tcs.

Elka Econo's are the best. The go for like $500 on ebay, which is the same as works with rezzies. I'd go with the elka econo's.
