[user101]

i want to know if they dual rate shocks with rezzies. or do they just mkae triple rate shocks

[Texan32]

Well, according to thier web site, they do. If you are looking for some, i would HIGHLY suggest you call Jeff over at the Quadshop. I can almost guarantee he WILL get the best price on Elkas. I just got a smokin deal on my triples with rez's.

[Wingnut]

YES!!! And, I believe I am the only person on the planet that owns a set.

If you want some Dual Rate Shocks, PM Jeff and he will get you the Best Price. The Quadshop seems to be very Good.

Why not get tripple rate they are just a little more.

[Dave400ex]

That`s why he is about the only Guy I know with Elka Dual Rates. All the other Guys get the Triple Rates. Well most of the Guys get Triple Rates because they have SSD. I don`t think the Dual Rates have SSD do they?

i dont want any mx shocks i just want some for a little motorcross and really aggresive trail riding. i weigh 130 pounds and my stock shocks seem a little rough for my likeing. i want something that will handle atleast 50-60 foot jumps.(my sunday school teacher has a motorcross track, he is a real nice guy i get to ride on it whenever i want to).:D

[Dave400ex]

Well if you only Weigh 130 any Aftermarket Shocks will Help, but 50-60 Feet is a Big Jump. I would get the Triple Rates so you have the SSD and they are better for Big Jumps.

[trx400ex]

yeah dude, 50 - 60 feet is HUGE...

One of the major reasons I got the dual rate shocks is for the higher ride height. My rear shock has been revalved, but it still uses the stock spring. I did not want the front end to sag more than the rear. Can you see in the picture how much of the preload threads are still showing? I can adjust the preload to the point where the a-arms are almost horizontal. I can also take the springs off, to add or remove the collars that limit body roll, without the use of a spring compressor or any other tools except for what came with the shocks for adjusting the preload. I have a 65-70ft jump that my shocks handle fine. However, the landing is 5ft higher than the take off, so the landing is not hard anyway.

i also weigh 130, the quadshop got me dual rate elka's (one spring + ssd for a real good price and i love them. my shock isnt rebuildable (300ex) so marty got me a raptor rear shock with a 400ex spring. this works equally well. with a 400 though, i would have marty rebuild the rear with the elka stuff for your wieght (i think ssd is available for the reaer rebuild) and get the same shocks i have, you will be pleased.

[bradley300]

oh yeah, fiy most factory shocks are set up for a 160 lb. rider (average wieght) wich is wy at 130 lbs, you have kind of a ruff ride.
