my buddy has them on his 400ex....sweet arse shock...no springs, uses air...come with a lil hand pump where u can pump them up to different riders specs...or you can drop the bike pretty much on the ground with a turn of a knob on the shock....i rode with them across the field and wow they are bad arse...i was skeptical at first because he told me they used no springs, and they used air...im like man these shocks cant be no good...but after ridding on them...and seeing how he can pump them up to a different riders weight with a lil handpump i was like hell yea thats good because he can go to TT mode or MX mode w/ a turn of a knob...

he paid 895 for them w/o shippin...but i think its worth it...considering now you aint ever got to send them out to be revalved for a different riders weight

and just to make sure he wont getting a crappy shock for a pretty price...he called elka and elka told him over the phone that they were trying to do a design like the fox float air shocks w/o breaking any patent laws...so he figured they must be good shocks if elka is trying to do the same thing...they only weigh 2 lbs a piece

Wow, these shocks seem pretty cool. How do they do jumping, thats where I would worry about them.

he said they did awsome on the mx track...he said they were a lil soft but he didnt bring his pump with him to put more air in them..he said other than that...they were great
