axis, fox, tcs??

[raptorrider314]

Alright, its time for soem new shocks on the yfz.....idk wat to get. Im lookin at either tcs, the fox evol, or custom axis. I have rode the tcs before and i like them but never rode the other 2. jsut wanted to see wat everyone else thought i should get...

[SVTPete]

Loving my evols! Lots of adjustability and they ride very smooth. My quad corners way better and I have yet to bottom them out. Pretty good price too. I went from the podium X's to these and it was night and day. Hope this helped.

FOX and never look back.:cool:

Every one is going to suggest what they are running them selves.
I have ridden both and would say to go with Axis but you will be happy with either choice. They are both a huge improvement over stock. You also should consider PEP.
Pep sets them up a little more fine tuned for your riding style and body weight. All the others just kind of round everything off.
Good luck!!!

id go evols for the adjustability and from personal experience id buy them over any other shock.

[hondardr4life]

Liek stated above, everyone will suggest what they are running. I would reccomend looking into PEP, thats what I run. If you dont want to run PEP's, I would look into the fox sure.

[WhiteYFZ]

i have the pep's and love them .. im sure the fox shocks are good too, but the pes's are SICK

and mark at baldwin is a nice guy

[raptorrider314]

what is the differance between zps and regular......iv heard with zps u have to hit jumps faster...is that true and is it worth it?

[WhiteYFZ]

zps means zero preload shock.. it makes the bike sit lower.. not to sure on the speed thing though.

how much were those peps, i think im gettin interested in them. And where did u order them from. do uk how much travel u hvae now?

[WhiteYFZ]

i got em from baldwin..
fronts are like 1275 or something like that and the rear is 1075.. mark at baldwin is a really nice guy. and on the travel, i have no clue

[raptorrider314]

what line of shock is yours? is oit the top of the line one? and is yours zps?

[WhiteYFZ]

yea basically top of the line.. 18.5 inched eye to eye and yea its ZPS

[kyleschonert]

Your right, Mark is a very nice quy. And gets you your stuff fast! I know they take a while on the shocks, but that is different since they are custom for you. But we needed a bushing on my rear PEP and he got it to us in 2 days. It takes some companies that freakin long to answer the darn phone.

[EvilJester400EX]

I currently run Custom Axis on both of my YFZ's. I love the performance, however, I've been wanting to give the Fox Evols a try.

iv rode the tcs, elka an ohlins. i like the tcs but i really dont like elka or ohlins. iv never rode peps....u think ill be happy with them fer sure

[WhiteYFZ]

YES!! 110% POSITIVE!! orderthem up.. baldwin does NOT require a deposit

[Lonestar_R]

Better yet, its not what kind of credit card it is....it is can I use it too...

[xsr_racing28c]

I am strongly considering going from my current Custom Axis shocks over to the PEP comp/reb adjust shocks, but its not going to be until next season.

I love the look of the piggyback , but unfortunatly i have only the ablility to run the rem rezzies because of my swaybar setup..

Have any of you guys ever run the PEPs on a 450r?

I have JD LT arms btw..

[450Rchaser]

I rode my fox airfloats for the first time last sunday. I was very impressed for the price. I haven't done anything to the rear yet. But it rode like a cadillac over rocks, dips, and jumps.
