Long travel Elka Quad rate Piggs W/comp adj.

[Over-land 450r]

how bad are the Elkas Long travels set up for my weight and style. There Quad rate piggy back and Zero preload with comp only. If i race B Mx how do you think these would be for Me??

[WhiteYFZ]

good if they were re-valved after they came from the factory:cool:

Did you seriously ask how bad Elka LT's are?? :eek2:

Elka's are not bad at all ... they're actually a great shock! As long as they are set up to your weight and riding style they should be an awesome upgrade/replacement.

Just like Whiteyfz said , valved right they will be awesome.

I will let you know shortly I bought some used ones and I sent them out to derisi so I should be getting them back soon.

[Over-land 450r]

white yfz u have no idea haha.

Its just that i heard that they arnt good.

And alot of people say there no worth it.


Thanks

bor what r u talking about.. my friend has elka's and he said that if u get them re-valved after they come from the fatory, then there alot better..

My brother has a set of Elks shocks on his 300EX, and they are better than the revalved shocks I had on my 450R. Alot smoother.

mine work great :macho

just be sure to give them your exact specs and you will be fine

[Over-land 450r]

thanks
anybody else??

I have had two sets of elkas, on my z 400 and on my 450r they were both valved good for me . Elka does not mess up like some people say they do. I race mx b and they both felt great

[Mean250r]

when u get them, they are valved on the stiffer side. Every shock has there good point, PEP great shock- Not worth the wait <---- just a example. I think im gunna go with elka again on my YFZ or TCS. i hear very good things about TCS and for the price you cant go wrong

[400exrules]

yah, i heard elkas are great if you get them setup right. some people over judge their riding habits and the shocks arent valved correctly for them...so they automatically say elka sucks
