Worx vs Elka

[jminjares]

I’m currently saving for some nice shocks and wanted to see what was better for the price.  I can’t find any price points for the worx and was wondering which are better all around. I pretty much only ride in glamis, hillshoot and with some duning. 

I was leaning more towards the worx purely based on the color way would suit my shee better lol

Worx is the son from works shocks. I looked into them myself when i did my build. I ended going elka

I didn't realize Works was back in business. Looks like the old owners daughter took over, that scares me.

 

Stick with Elka in this instance.

what made you decide that?

[caleb90]

Elka was a better deal, more known than the new worx's company. Also was easyer as i bought a long travel a arm kit and shocks all together

Works was always a budget shock

Worx I'm sure is the same, not to mention totally unknown.

Elka has a huge service network.

Fox is better than both of them in my opinion.

What all are you trying to do?

Do you already have arms?

i have alba arms +2 +1 and i would go fox but the i don’t want to deal with adjusting the floats depending on the temperature of that day personally. and then I have a +12 swing arm

This is about the best deal you’ll find.

This is 100% not true.

You can use them in any temperature setting without any adjustment. I ran them from 70* to -30* without issue. I also went 8 years without ever once adding air from the factory.
