Quebec, Canada (3/20/2006) - Elka Suspension is now offering front and rear shock absorbers for the 2006 Suzuki
LT-R450 ATV model (stock geometry). Demand has increased dramatically since Suzuki first announced the introduction of
this performance model. Our research and development team has been working hard to further improve the suspension to get the most out of it.

At the front, Elka Suspension’s configuration is a triple-rate spring setup over a piggyback reservoir shock absorber, boosting the wheel travel up to 11", compared to the 9.4" of the stock suspension. The front Elka Suspension shock absorber not only provides more travel but also offers much more adjustability to make it more suitable for racing applications. The front suspension also improves the overall performance by changing the attack angle of the frame so that the front is slightly higher than the rear, leading to much more control over whoops sections and harsh impacts.

The Elka Suspension rear shock absorber is a dual-rate spring setup with a remote reservoir. The wheel travel is half inch more than stock at 11.9", but the progression is much smoother throughout the stroke, providing more comfort and less bottoming out. The ride height of the vehicle is lowered by an average of 1", for a lower center of gravity, better turning performance and more stability over choppy terrain. The remote reservoir and optimized oil flow of the Elka Suspension shocks also solve the overheating and fading problem of the stock rear shock absorber.

Intensively tested by some of the most intense professional racers, including Suzuki Factory Team rider William Yokley, these new Elka Suspension models will transform your LT-R450 from a harsh ride into a truly race-ready machine.
