ok so im definately getting elka fronts. but there 3 different kinds.
preload
preload, compression
preload, compression, rebound.
i relize the last is the best but its also 300 dollars more. iwould it be a waste of money to get the 1st or second? i need shocks bad. my bike is almost done and i will be mx ready. i am a begginer (mx) and dont no what i need exactly. help me out plz.
ELKA SUSPENSION BENEFITS
*
Custom built for each rider's personal needs.
*
Individually tested on a dynamometer to ensure quality and performance.
*
Aeronautical grade anodized billet aluminum parts and knobs.
*
Triple seal heads and high quaility seals, o-rings, and wearbands.
*
Custom springs and valving setup for your weight and riding type.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS:
*
Piggyback or Remote Reservoirs - Adding reservoirs provides optimal oil flow and cooling which reduces fading during periods of intense use.
*
Threaded Preload Adjustment - Standard on all Elka Suspension. It provides ride-height adjustability and compensates for additional weight. You can set your initial ride height, increase preload for a stiffer ride, or decrease for a smoother ride. A special tool is provided.
*
Switchable Crossover Spacers - Spacers control the transition between the different springs, thus altering the overall spring rate. You can switch the orientation to choose between a supple ride and a more responsive one.
*
Compression Adjustment - Adds versatility and provides fine-tuning to suit your individual riding style. Turn clockwise to increase hydraulic resistance and make the suspension harder, or counter-clockwise to make suspension softer.
*
High & Low Speed Compression Adjustment (Elite) - Allows for independent adjustment of the high and low speed compression damping stages. Delivers both optimum reactivity to small bumps and large impacts. The high velocity damping for big hits, sharp edges, and jumps can be fine-tuned independently from teh low velocity damping for turning, cornering, and accelerating.
*
Rebound Adjustment - Provides proper traction by keeping the wheels on the ground. Rebound adjustment controls how fast the wheels will come back to full extension after an impact.
