Fearnot Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 New -1 Lonestar swingarm just came in and I'm looking for the best rear shock to go with a 2+1 Lonestar Dc-pro A-Arm with Fox Evol Rc2 shocks up front. Any info at all with what people have had success pairing with the Fox shocks would help a ton. Budget isn't an issue and this is a woods bike. Thanks for your time. Quote
gusto Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 Nice swingarm. https://www.ridefox.com/product.php?m=moto&t=shocks&p=3341 keep it Fox I guess, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy any of the big suspension companies rear shock if you have the cheddar though. Might as well get the Elka link too. Quote

Fearnot Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Posted August 4, 2018 So it seems to be just run fox with the fox. The elka linkage says to run with a elka LT shock but is that just them(elka) trying to keep their proprietary set up? Helps been great so far. 1 Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted August 4, 2018 Report Posted August 4, 2018 Are you a drag guy?? No?? Then buy an Elka LT setup, simple as that. Envoyé de mon SM-G935W8 en utilisant Tapatalk Quote
RagunCajun Posted August 5, 2018 Report Posted August 5, 2018 If budget doesnt matter, isnt there higher teir shock/shock builders out there? I personally wouldnt need that due to my low level of skill but OP may. Quote

locogato11283 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Posted August 5, 2018 Not one single person on this forum will notice the difference with the Elka LT shock and linkage. No one. Quote
kawa110 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Posted August 5, 2018 I’m on the fence on spending that kinda money for a link, when I feel that a far better tuned and built shock would make up for....But I really don’t know or have any experience.One think I know is the stock chassis and suspension can not keep up with even a stock motor or me. My kidneys will be killing me sometimes after good hard weekend riding. Quote

If buy the link and then the same length fox shock as the elks shock is supposed to be, does the Fox outperform or need to be valved for the link? Quote
locogato11283 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Posted August 5, 2018 Fox Podium for Banshee only comes in one length, OEM. If you think you’ll be able to mix and match the Podium with Elka rear linkage, you’re mistaken. Reality is, no one on BansheeHQ is going to use the Elka linkage to its full potential. Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted August 5, 2018 Report Posted August 5, 2018 Better setup will always be better, for anyone.Envoyé de mon SM-G935W8 en utilisant Tapatalk Quote
