Elka or works ???

[dannyboy20]

im thinking about upgrading my front suspension. I do mostly trail riding and no racing. I am on some what of a budget and was wondering if the works are good shock or is it worth saving a little extra and getting the Elkas ???

[300extreme#8]

works should work perfectly for u then,elka r for the hard core type shocks for racing and other stuff but r worth the money,works also worth the money but r just 1 step better then stock,u could get elka and have the better shock but the type ridin ur doin ain't worth the extra $$$,but if u later decide to ride mx tracks and have fun the elka would be good to have,o well works will get teh job done

I think the Elka's were worth the money just for the fact that they are SSD (zero preload). It lowers the ride height and improves handling. Also the Elka's quality/workmanship are way ahead of the Works. Both are much better than stock though.

Be ashamed for comparing the too! j/k, but they dont compare. For you get the decent elkas without rezzies and upgrade later.

[hondarider2006]

Save the money and get some elkas, even if they are w/ out rezzys:cool:

[dannyboy20]

ya i think im going to. Are the rezzies for cooling the shcoks when you ride for long periods ?

[Dave400ex]

Yes the rezzies add cooling for the long rides, and in most cases the option of Compression adjust.

[JDiablo]

yea the rezzies just hold more oil in the shocks....so it will keep the shocks cooler on longer rides

[spyder]

are you CRAZY buy elka!!!

works for the weekend warriors or advanced weekend warriors...if you plan on racing or ride hardcore then get the elkas

I've never had a problem with my Works shocks. They have been very good so far. I race and they never sag through the turns or bottom out over jumps. Alot better than the stockers. Good choice if your on a budget.
