[gnccguy]

Hey guys i run gncc and wont to go to a long travle set up this winter. I was wondering what u guys like (shocks and a-arms) and where is the best and cheapest place to buy. I have been looking at different places and would like to stay around 2,500 for the works. thanks

I run Gibson LT with Axis and they work well. I have not had any trouble out of them.

Atvfourplay and Stadium suspension

I've read through a lot of you guys psots about best long travel front ends. One front end that i never see mentioned but seems very unique is the Laeger Pro-Trax. How do you guys rate it?

[Colby@C&DRacing]

The laeger front end is nice but come with a high price tag. You don't see mant XC guys running it.

ars/fx axis, very good front end and very popular

Laeger Pro-Trax

i rate it as expensive lol

i was looking at roll design and elka s like yokley and andy lagzdins set up.
or leagers and fox float evos. i like fox float evos but dont know if i can trust them dont know how well they will work i like the price tag to but dont see to many xc guys running them its more mx

[gnccguy]

those Atvfourplay a arms look like a possibility

I would really like to try the fox floats.

I have road Lonestar +2+1 with Elka elites and I was very very impressed with the performance. If price wasn't any issue, I would go Laeger/Elka.

Way too many exposed bearings for XC racing. Built for MX/SC

2 people that had floats both said they are great for landings and bumps but have quite a bit of body roll on turns

Motowoz/SMC i got mine for a good price

That's what I was going to say. Fox Floats or Float Evols are not really intended for desert/XC/GNCC riding. They are built with weight in mind and setup more for MX.

If you are price conscious, I would also look into Houser a-arms and possibly TCS shocks. Excellent quality and performance from both for less money than a lot of the other big name companies. If money was not an object, I would go with Laeger a-arms and either Motowoz or PEP shocks.

SMC fab a-arms best bang for the buck. You can get longtravel mgc arms for around $600 and that with a lifetime warrenty.

There are a few dez racers using the Floats with good results but I am not sure of the maintenance requirements on them.

Ed's new stuff for the 450R is sweet........from the front end to the soon to be released linkage.

He's also accepting resumes until Dec 10.
