Ok well its spring and so landscaping is taking off, that means the money is flowing in! So i plan on getting a 450 this month, and one of the first things i'm doing is getting new shocks. I have absolutely no idea what the hell i am doing.
I ride mostly XC and i might start racing towards the end of the year. What kind of features in a shock do i need to look for? I ride at the track every now and then, but i want the shocks to be geared for XC.
Also, cost isnt really going to be an issue. Basically its going to be between Custom Axis, Elka, and PEP. I dont see too many of the GNCC guys running PEPs- they seem to be more geared towards MX. So when it comes down to it, what are the advantages that Axis has over Elka?
Thanks for the help.
