From what I can see if you have no budget, get the axis. But if you are gonna chacge the arms or anything I would do it all at once and get the shocks set up for whatever arms you are getting.

If you order ELKA you will probably get them in about 10 days, if you order AXIS it will be about 3 months.

if your dead set to the mainstream i would say axis but if you are interested in a new and higher quility product. Check out motowoz.com These shocks are nice the web does not do them justice and the prices are equal to the other but these are acually hand build. You know like elka use to be. Mention clayton you might be able to get a deal lt arms and shocks.

Last I heard on Motowoz was their whole business got burnt down by the fires a couple of years back. They were really up and coming but a little pricey. Good to hear they are back. Hope they do well.

it's all preference. Call both of them and find out who satisfys you better. Both will be an amazing improvement over stock. You will be happy with axis, elka, or motowoz

flat out for anyone looking for shocks motowoz "vsv" valving is better than anyother shock I've riden on I had Tcs my friends ride elka and axis. Put it to you this way they are all swithching to motowoz next session. The prices are competitive with all the other companies.

Like 400exMO said it's all preference, you will have your die hard Axis riders, PEP, Elka etc. So answers to this question can sometiems be biased. It all comes down to how quick you want your shocks, and how much you want to pay for them. Just make sure that you get the features you want and shop around to get the best possible deal on a set. Hope this helps.

This is a fact. I have had Axis on my last few race quads but the service sucks. I think either choice is good, I prefer Axis but you have to wait.
