What Kind Of Shocks Do you Have?

[Sparks425Ex]

I am looking to get a new set of front shocks and i wanna know what everyone has.


What kind of Shocks do you have?

Where did you buy them?

How Much Did you Pay?

Would you recommend them?(I race Mx and Freestyle... Mostly Large Jumps)

And Post a picture if you have one...

Thanks.

Custom Axis. 16"
Triple Rate
Compression Adjustable
I got them from Axis through Tom Miller Motorsports.
$1000 even

I would MORE than reccomend them. Axis are awesome! I would reccomend Elka as well.

[cdalejef]

Elka
quad rate long travel
dual adjust
I got them from Elka
they were free
highly recommended
I have pics on the work computer but the hard drive crashed:(

[CBW]

i have works on my 400
triple rate 800 or so i think when it was all said and done (including revalving etc)

i have axis on my 88r
1300 for the pair
love them,,,,,would do it again:D

i know it is a rear shock,,,,,,,but i have the pep full race on the rear of my atc 250R,,,,,very nice.

if i had it to do all over again,,,,,,i would get axis,,,,,,i think i will on my 400;) :devil

Elka
Quad rate Long Travel
Got them from Elka
Best shock for the money, period.

[airheadedduner]

Ohlin's pre-load adjustable only
$430 off ebay virtully new.
Need to be vavled for me but even now they blow away my old works in every possible way.
Rear shock is stock with LRD long traval kit and eibach spring. It is awesome, I got tons of traval and the valveing is good enough I don't have to run hardly any pre-load and it still stands up to huge jumps. $450 from LRD
If I had to buy shocks again they would be Ohlin's or TCS.

elka dual rates no rezzies
way cheap, awsome shocks
call the quadshop and talk to jeff

Works pimp daddy triple rates with rezzies..:D

Bought from magic racing for $500.00

They've worked really really well for all my types of riding and wrecking..

Soon to have a pair of elka's from the quadshop and hopefully get them for the same price Jeff did..:eek: :devil

[cdalejef]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I have PEP ZPS shocks

The best shocks that u can get.

Got them and had them serviced for a little over a 1k

Got them from NACS racing and had them rebuilt by Baldwin.

STOCK!!!!

Jeff how much are Elka triple rate piggy back shocks with ssd and comp. adj? How long is the wait if i ordered them soon? Last are these shocks good enough for like the rest of my life because i would like to do the shocks right the first time and not spend a lot of money then have to buy better shocks later on because i didnt spend only 100 more for better shocks. And how much would a good rear shock be for these fronts?

I'll PM you pricing.

[DESDAK4]

Jeff,
If it wouldn't be to much trouble, could you pm me with a price on the same shocks along with a set of red +1 Houser a-arms. Also would my stock rear shock be ok for awhile at least. Military man with a family of five, Kinda puts me on a budget.

Custom Axis on my R and works on the EX

I love Custom axis

[BadA$$440]

I got Elka Triple Rates w/ remote rezzy's.
Paid $735 to my door from the Quadshop.
They are great on MX but feel a lil stiff on th trails ( i dont have them adjusted right )

[Tommy 17]

elka triple rates piggy backs with ssd and comp adjustable
quadshop(great serivce)
736$
i rec them to everyone... they are like night and day over stock and the ssd makes it handle way better...


heres a action pic of a landing from a step up

[Nausty]

elka, 730 or so I don't remember. Triple rates w/ rezzie ect. Wish I would of gone with axis. Sometimes i'm not really impressed with the performance but I think I just need to have spend some time iwht em and get em' adjusted right. I think I need to make the rebound go faster.

[QuadRacer041]

pep zps on my R and EX
they work great for me.

[Sparks425Ex]

Ok guys you are doing great. This is just what i wantred to know. I have another question tho:

Should I go and Spend about 750 on a Set Of Elka Triple Rates with Piggy Back Rezzies With SSD

or

Save up another 125 bucks or so and get the Pep Zps Shocks.


Are the Peps worth the extra 125 bucks.

Reminder I race Mx and I do Freestyle.

Normal jump is about 55 Feet long 15 feet up. This is on my stockers and i think they are gonna blow soon. Lol SO i need to make me decision soon.

Save for PEP ZPS. They are the Best shocks u can get. I dont want to flame but they are better than AXIS and TCS and ELKA. Buy something that will last u forever. Thats what i did and i will never ride with different shocks.

[BadA$$440]

I kinda wish i saved up a lil more for the Pep ZPS. But my mistake was when i bolted my elkas on, i started playing around and adjusting them and but i still havent got the adusted right

[A4StrokeGuy]

I'm running PEP race shocks, no ZPS or anything but they were made for a 250R so there a bit shorter and they handle any jump i can throw at them. i jumped larocco's leap and doubled it and it felt like i was landing on a cushion. I got them on eBaY FOR $370. This winter there going to be ZPS though. Sorry no pics yet, digi camera hasn't showed up yet!:grr

[QuadRacer041]

a close up the shocks

[400exBro]

i have works trs with rezzies and threaded preload 550 for carbides motoworld.......


i wish i had the money for peps, but i am not that good of a racer to need them so the works work awsome for me...

defently save up for either pep zps or axis shocks well worth the dough...
Bro

[canadian400ex]

400exBro, is that 550 canadian or american funds?

[raptor_02]

works triple rate steelers with rezzies. There not the best shocks out there but for an 18 year old guy that's going to college and trying to buy everything for his quad at the same time they do pretty good!!!!!!!!!!

[Sick0]

stock for now.

Nasty your not happy, Before you were completely happuy with them.

[Sick0]

quad041, the r is sweet looking. I can't wait to get my frame Powdercoated.

[bansheeguy77]

i got works tripple rates with rezzies....for the money their a great shock but their not axis or pep....if u land a jump perfect they are great but come up short or overshoot then hold on....their not for serious racing so if ur into that get pep zps or axis.

[Tommy 17]

i was goin to buy pep but i am glad i didn't... y wait 4 months and pay 150$ more when u can get elkas cheaper wait 1 week and work just as good... i'll never run anythin but elka they are top notch to me...

[Sick0]

I'm saving up for a pair of elkas. I have the money for the shocks but I need the money for the axles.

[QuadRacer041]

thanks sickO

tommy you gotta get some more abuse on those elka's.
can you make it to rausch on sept 8?

Well i bought my PEP Limited Mass in april and got them in a week and payed 750 for them brand new. then revalved and resprung them to ZPS for another $250

[Tommy 17]

i'll talk to my cuz lou see if he wants to go out for a trip... he rides a yz250f...

[400exBro]

canadian400ex- that is americain funds, but don't use ups for shipping they cahrged me 200$ for shipping and handling

Custom Axis shocks on my 400 and PEP on my 250r.

I would definatly reccomend the axis over the pep for motocross.

[SGA]

Elka triples, SSD, with rezzies on the front. Seem to be good shocks for the money. Soaks up the hits and whoops well. Mine need to be valved a little softer for X/C, but o/k until time for rebuild.
Elka SSD rebuild on the back. Fair. Hard to adjust for balance between soft ride and kicking. Seems to be better for M/X than X/C. If you have good aftermarket shocks on the front, you probably will not be happy with the rebuild if you ride hard.. Go with a full aftermarket rear shock.
Got to check out a 400EX the other day with full Custom axis front and rear. Plush man, real plush. They cost big bucks though.

[Nausty]

I got a elka rear rebuild and wish I got the shock but if I had to do it all over again I think i would of went with axis or pep.
