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.

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

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.

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.

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.
