custom axis or fox air

[quadracer707]

looking to get rid of my elka shocks that came with the 4wheeler. leaning towards custom axis then fox. I race totaly MX aggresive rider so I need something good. Will spend good money to buy something good.

Thanx

out of those 2, i wuld pick axis, but these are personally my fav

PEP!

[quadracer707]

I should have mentioned peps also Why do you recommend them over other 2????????? Iam still undiceded had Ohlins on my 440 loved them but Iam hering they lost there really good builder

[Mean250r]

noooooo lol u got it mixed up

axis lost all there good builders to ohlins, thats why pros are now running ohlins such as keith little etc.

why do i recomend PEP? Because it feels like your riding on a cloud

I orderd mine from SF racing and they took only 4 weeks! so if you do decide to go pep go thought sf racing, seth is awsome. Baldwin takes for ever

another reason i chose them was because the look badd *** :devil:

The guy that was at axis went to ohlins, but he left ohlins, so i dont know about ohlins anymore

[Mean250r]

oh really?

Well if you get pep, u know ur gettin a good shock thats for sure

[quadracer707]

I heard the guys that left axix that left Ohlins left to a company called, oleens. not sure of name or how true it is so please no lol on me. hahahah

Yup Mike Hallock, ran Axis for years, went to Ohlins, and then moved on. Axis is currently a division on Penske Racing Shocks.

But the quality is still the same. As long as they aren't elka's I'm sure you'll be happy. Either PEP or Axis are a great choice.

yup thats true but LT elkas are what 1300? now ad the new valving, another 300? your at around 1600 when thats what i paid for my peps :devil:

WRONG!! if you read the post correctly the shocks already came with the atv so actually he will be saving money getting them revalved. 300 for a revalve sounds like a STEAL to me if i had to sell a 1300 pair of shocks for 600-700 and turn around and spend 1600 on a set of PEPs. hmm 900 compared to 300 ya you sure do break even like you said

[Paul400ex2002]

actually axis has been a division of penske for a long time, that's nothing new. Two of the big guys from axis, the one already mentioned, and then another is at fox now. I'm running the Evol's and Podium-X on my yfz and I LOVE them. They're hands down better than the PEP's I ran before.
