Title: What brand of shock ???
Post by: YFZ450-Tampa on April 12, 2005, 01:02:45 AM
Well I'm fixing to get a new set of shocks, I know as far as I've seen, Elkas are the most popular ones, but I wonder how about the other brands, Peps, Ohlins, Fox, Spider, any way, I'll like to have some info before take that $$$ out of my pocket,

YFZ.....your riding FTR right?

if you want the best pony up the dough and get a set of Custom Axis for the YFZ.  Many of the top guys are now using these and there are TONS of people in FTR that are now using them.  If I were you I would get a ride on them and the elkas before you make a purchase.

It also depends on which Elkas you are looking at.  Elka Elites would work great, but I would still have to say Axis would be my choice.

Price wise, are them about the same price, I'll probably be looking for a triple rated, compression and rebound adjust pigy tail. And yes have seen some guys at FTR with AXIS, but there amre a lot more using Elkas  ???
Any info about prices ?
