between these three which is better. elka tripples with rezzies, tcs triples with rezzies, or works stadium series with rezzies. i think its mainly between elka and tcs but i threw in the works cause my friend might be getting a pair so i wanted to see how good they are and how good they match up.

i got my new tcs but didnt get to test em out yet. I guess TCS and ELKA are pretty even. All depends on the rider and how theyre setup IMO

Get Custom Axis!! They are the best shocks made, nobody comes close to their quality!! They may be a little on the expensive side but they are way better than anything out there and are well worth the money. I heard all the pro's that are getting paid to run Elka's, would rather run Axis and not get paid. And I'm talking like $20,000 to run elkas!! So what does that tell you? Get AXis NUFF Said!!!!

Rob Racing is correct. Quality wise, Custom axis is the best. I would have to say from talking to pros that the pep's are the best but the quality parts are not as good as custom axis. Pro's turn down sponsorships from elkas, tcs and works shocks to run pep's and custom axis. Elka is making a come back though. There are a couple of pros that run them, but the majority run pep and axis. Why do you think the wait for pep and axis is always so long?????

i think axis and pep are def. the best two, i know guys that swear by pep, then guys that swear by axis......i just solved it the easy way....PEP front and axis rear:macho ....no but reall i think im selling the PEPs later and getting all axis

and 20,000 sounds a little high,, i dont think i could turn that down if they were stock!!!

Buy what fits your budget. Most people can barely spell the names of shocks correctly much less give an opinion on them...:ermm:

I can give you 2 pros that don't like the Elkas as well as Axis. William Yoakley and Brad Page. They have that contract to run Roll, IMS and Elkas and can't change back to Axis.

I was just kidding (kinda), but I do like them better then utility shocks and they are better then none! Elka will get better in time, they haven't been doing ATV shocks that long, how long have Axis and Pep been doing that kind of stuff?

i'm with norrisboat on this one, go with the peps. I'm getting my long travel PEP/LSR front end for around the same price you'd pay just for LT Axis shocks.

Elka shocks are pretty good. They are getting much better than they were at first and Elka is constantly improving their shocks. They arent as good as PEP or Axis but I wouldnt rule them out. I have PEP fronts and rear but I just order a chassis so I got an axis rear, and plan on getting axis fronts soon. I love how the PEP's soak up big jumps but they arent as plush through little bumps and braking bumps as Axis.

i am thinking aobut getting works because the price im only 15 and dont have a hell of alot of money but elkas re good shocks, theres no dpubt axis is the best and pep is a close second.
