<center>Finally a solution to address the TRX450R rear end suspension problems</center>
This limited edition dual linkage was specifically developed for pro-level riders looking for a smoother rear suspension that will still prevent bottoming. Elka Suspension’s Pro Dual Linkage provides a full 12 inches of wheel travel, which is 3 inches more than stock suspension and 2 inches more than an Elka Suspension rear shock combined to a stock linkage.
To achieve such travel, this set-up uses a longer 17 inch specific shock absorber that allows 5 inches of stroke. This combination will provide a smoother progression by varying the motion ratio from 4.0 in the beginning to 1.8 at the end of the compression cycle. The result is an initially smoother suspension that gradually gets firmer without any harsh spots to finally offer more resistance to bottoming.

Compatible with virtually all swingarms, this new system doesn’t require any modifications to your ATV except for the skid plate which will need more clearance. Made from 7075-T6 aeronautical grade aluminium, the Pro Dual Linkage is strong and resistant without any major weight penalty. The high-quality needle bearings used at all pivot points will ensure a long-lasting, low friction use. It is also anodized to match the beautiful look of your Elka Suspension rear shock absorber.
The longer rear shock and the dual linkage are sold as a complete combo only and retrofit options are not available. The 5 inch stroke of the shock absorber will make adjustments and fine-tuning easier by allowing more stroke before reaching full travel. Riders will also notice less fading because the linkage will reduce the workload for the shock absorber. The Pro Dual Linkage will not affect the ride height while still allowing adjustments to it.
