Elka stage 5 shock

[assault11]

I was looking at there website today and I really like the look of their shock but I've never seen them on a sled before. Is anyone using these shocks? If so how do they work.
Thanks in advance

They look extremely well built and highly adjustable. I just don't know about them cause I've never seen them on sleds. And they're expensive

I see a lot of them on ATVs at the races. definetly a well build shock. I have seem them on older poos and doos but not since 2000 or so.

I have them on my RZR, and they are very adjustable, tough, and make a huge difference for my application. Quality is top notch, so I would expect the same for their snowmobile series.

Price out Fox Evol x's, Raptor coil over clickers, Ohlins, or the top shelf Exit's. That's not that far off.

Elka Shocks

I really like the Elka shock on my Downhill Mountain Bike. Excellent quality and adjustability. Lasted all season last year and did not blow up which is rare on mtb dh shocks for me.

thats what I was about to say. anything worth upgrading to is going to be over a grand.

I know the price because I just bought Exit Shocks for my Pro RMK.

Just a lot of cash for shocks, sticker shock.

elka shocks are the #1 choice for ATV shocks. I just checked their site, crazy they are out of quebec! thought they would be out of arizona our california....They should market more in snowmobile magazines.....

They are one of the VERY few i have never tried, and really do look like a great shock, but IMO the Raptors have to be as good or better, for $100.00 less and with Ti springs, and 3lbs lighter per set. The cost and weight is not my speculation, but true to life fact. No brainer to me. Thanks!
