Word on the west coast is that Penske Racing (owner of axis) showed up to the axis shop in Cali and loaded everything up. I feel sorry for all you Custom Axis owners. The only thing they said when they loaded everything up was that their just not producing enough. That's pretty hard to imagine. I will let you know when I find out more.

The top man at Axis, Mike Halleck, left the operation. Penske moved that portion of the company back to PA and its business as usual.

yeah, but now the highly experienced penske boys have their hands on the shocks, and plan on doing amazing things ( like elka is innovating with) and having a lot of nice upgrades available soon!

I know i'm getting myself a set of Penske/Axis shocks for sure, plus they are at all the nat's ready to help you out!

There moving to Reading Pa. Which is about 40min from my house. Hopefully if they come up with some new innovations I can get a set of the new axis to trade out my pep's.
Plus like Leric said, there at all Natinals ready to help you out.

you say that until you ride a set of properly set up shocks

I'm thinking of either getting my next set from noleen ( his rebuild) or the axis.. hvae a little bit of time to make my decision
