LaegerEliminator Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 The only idiot in this thread is the one casting insults. Same guy who let a broken collar bone drive enough fear into him to completely alter his riding style... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the aftermarket rear shocks are more than adequate for a Banshee rider, regardless of skill level. I have used Elka Stage 2 and 5 and now Fox Podium. I prefer the Fox over the Elka. They typically run $900+ for a rear shock that's going to get you more adjustment than you will ever use. Not one person on this website will ever benefit from or notice an extra 1.5" of travel in the rear end. Save the money and put it in a really nice front end package.

Sheedawg28 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Sure does, there's no other reason why the Pro's run what they do or anyone fast for that matter, It's a shame your skill level isn't up to par to notice the difference :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheedawg28 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Doesn't matter the bike you ride, any will benefit from added travel. Sometimes I think I'm talking to a 10 year old haha, anyways this is where I stop making you look dumb for today..lataaa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Fact is, no one on BansheeHQ will notice the extra 1.5" for the money. If it was $500 total, then sure. Run a regular rear shock and have $1,000 to put elsewhere. No one on BansheeHQ is hardcore MX. No one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 So most with long travel front ends are running stock length rear shock? How long of a rear shock could one run on a stock style linkage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 So most with long travel front ends are running stock length rear shock? How long of a rear shock could one run on a stock style linkage? Yes. A very small percentage are using the Elka link and shock. OEM rear is 14.5" I believe.

LaegerEliminator Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Something that has been overlooked here: Not only does the linkage increase wheel travel, it also improves shock leverage ratios and action for improved feel and performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
