Many people use them for all types of riding and racing and there are many options to choose from

stick style with 7 way adjustment works well for the money and then you have many puckstyle that range from $340 and up.

We use the precision and really like the adjustability and performance.

I have the Precision and I love it.. Im still in the process of tuning it, but man its worth every penny. (Most deffinetly if you race or ride in the woods)

Rollie coming from the Denton I had on my 400 there is no comparison. The Precision is awesome. It took me a while to get it how I liked it, but Chris Jenks helped me get it adjusted right at the Ironman and the thing is amazing.

I agree on the Precision. I never thought I would say it but, I think it is worth the money too.

In my opinion, you never can really appreciate a good steering dampner until you ride without it or someone's quad without one.

My dad has one of the stick style stablizers and i think ill will bend that type but $500 for a stablizer is a lot anything cheaper that isnt the stick style

I got the Precision and can honestly say it is worth every penny. Yes it is expensive but sometimes you really get what you pay for. After riding with it for ten minutes I couldn't believe how I rode before without it.

the stick styles are alot cheaper for sure, do they help at ?
I have a gibson on the way now.

I dont race, I just play (alot of woods).
will it be worth the 150.00 ?

I have to get one before mx season starts here again, just deciding on the Elka system 5 or the Precision:S

i have the precision but just haven't put it on and the two adjustment dials are lookin pretty nice. My buddy just got the system 5 and that thing has a crapload of knobs and screws to adjust.

Yes a stick type will work really well.Of course it wont compare to a $500 Elka or Precision but dont let someone bad talk you outta at least a stick.Just remember thats what everyone used to use b4 the new generation and didnt knock it.**** some people even ran a dual stick set up.Its definately worth the $150 for the 7 click rebuildable Gibson if u dont have the money for the Precision,Elka or W.E.R.!!!!!!!

We talked to an Elka rep and he said the System 5 isnt neccesary unless your at big time pro level. system 3 can handle way more than youll need. I do plan on moving up to a precision unit eventually.
