Any body had good success with these?
im running works triples and they suck, well at least i think so, they seem to soft, and fade fast and dont smooth out the rough stuff enough.

I was thinking of switching to elkas?

I love them, I recommend them. I woud say for the price vs. quality they are about the best.

a lot of people on this forum run the Elka shocks and are very happy with them, as for your works have they been serviced recently, and were they set up for you and your riding style.

yea i ran works and they blew out the first time i used them, so works fixed them for free and i used um for another race and they worked good for about one lap then were just mush so i sold them. Then i bought LT ohlins and i liked them and have no complaints, but i just sold them and bought axis. from what i hear i should be more than happy with them. but ya alot of people seem to like elka and ive also talked to people that hated them. ive never heard any thing bad about axis so thats y i went with them instead of elka. no matter what you get it should be better than works cuz those things are such ****

I have owned many shocks....

Ohlins, works, PEP, Elka, TCS

I can easily say Elka's are my favorites....never felt a shock like them...20x better than works...
