I use the Evols on my black mountain goat. Never had a problem yet. Rip around on shit from trails, fast logging roads, rocky, light mud type stuff held up fine. Nice and light, Million diff adjs and settings, simple to set up perfect quick...cant go wrong with any of the said above though.
Or just get the stage 100000000 Elkas....
Just don't go with what you think "looks cool". I mean some guys will say. "Im getting elkas because they are anodized red and look cool" lol Not saying they are shitty at all but if the outside has dog shit and junk piled on it but the internals and springs are good...then they are usually good just like other "good brands"... don't go by looks is all im saying. Just like those Chinese Ebay el-cheapos all anodized gold, red and blue what ever...look sorta cool but are straight up junk, nomesayin? But some people think they are a good shock cause they don't know any better, but they "look cool" right...few threads about that on here
Just save up to get what you want or can afford. Tons of deals around.
Carry on.
