Oh Man I dunno, but these elka elites are working sweet now that they are getting dialed in (Over Turkey Day)... Adjustment is awesome and so is the Dune valving! I was worried at first but these are excelent shocks and valving setup for dune riding.

 

Not all elkas even have the same valving, they make a few different setups, they jsut starting special dune valving which you can specify. Dune riding tends to use your high speed valving for all the chop, so it's hard to have a plush ride and not bottem out on the big jumps. But their new valving is setup so give you a ncie ride and still take the big jumps.

 

These shocks are working great for chop and for larger impacts. I feel like I'm floating. I'm not too happy about the rear TCS at this time, I had it redone less than a year ago and I'm thinking it needs to be done again. It was great at first but I have the compression maxed out now and I wish it woudl go another click stiffer.

 

I still have to play with the low speed compression on the elkas but I htinkt he high speed is abotu where I'm going to leave it. Rebound might need a little more tweeking also. I'm SOOOOOOOOO Glad I went with fully adjustable shocks now, you can dial them in perfect!

 

Only problem I am having is the Resevoir is hitting on my upper A-arm if the shock bottems out. I bottemed the shock out before they were dialed in (adjusted way too soft) and yes it hurt too cause it took a pretty high jump...

 

:(

 

Might have to look into some different A-arms.
