dirtydownunder Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 i was gonna buy the stage 5 elkas, then i thought "what the fuck for" so i got the 3's. my hi speed adjustment is to go faster, and my low speed is to go slower. if you got the cash for stage 5's, shut up and buy them. if not, you probably dont need all that adjustment anyway, or know what to do with it. i had the basic fox floats too and they never lost air.

bluebanshee98 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 I got the Elka 5 due to the fact that god forbid the foxs floats leak then your all done. At least you have a spring to ride on if the Elka broke. I highly doubt either shock would have a problem... What I like about the Elka is don't gotta adjust air pressure. Basically maintance free . Either way what ever you go with even if it was the Elka 3 you'll love them Quote

Spanks906 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Definitely is. I haven't read one bad thing about the new axis stuff. Really swayed me Quote
99michael Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Fireball FTW .. Bought me some longtravel arms few weeks ago. Should be here soon. They are half the cost of what roll design wants. And use a longer shock. Me, myself jumped on the sale that elka has goin for there stage 3's. One thing about elka, is they're the only ones that offer a long travel for the rear. Most will say its not worth it though. But I like the thought of having long travel all around, and not just the front. Quote

Just doing it for a great ride quality and if I turn into a big jumper it's there. Quote
99michael Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 Then you don't "need" overly priced a arms then,,lol,, just giving u shit.. Good luck, and have fun,, Quote
ph2smoke Posted July 24, 2013 Report Posted July 24, 2013 I have been running the Alba arms for a while now. No complaints. I am cheap and running stock shocks but it was a big difference over stock. Quote
