Michael Jackson Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 but what works? i think when everyone says works, they are reffering to AT steelers.. everyone associates works with at steelers multicolored springs, im sure their pro g series and blackwidows are amazing.. ive never ridden them though... but you see the black widows on lots of bikes..

RoostRocket Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 works are good, especially for the price way better than stock, then i got my elkas and they are way better than works by far, not saying the works are bad, they are very good shocks, but if you got the extra cash get the elkas and save the money in the long run by not having to buy another set later. isnt your front end long travel??? im betting that the works setup wasnt... that could be the difference right there, but i personally have very limited experience with shocks so i dont know. however i rode a yfz with standard travel +2 aarms with revalved and resprung stock shocks. and i rode a long travel kit with elka elites and the long travel quad rate elkas were a much better ride, but im pretty sure it was mostly the long travel that made the difference. anyways go with works with the rezzys thats what im planning on going with. :biggrin: Quote
dawarriorman Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 Works steelers are not competition level shocks. Theres a reason nobody runs them in mx. Their other higher level shocks I won't speak for because I haven't ridden them. I've had steelers on my shee though. Now I have PEP. And yes there is a big difference, and I wouldn't get the steelers again. Elka is overrated IMO, everybody uses them, so everyone thinks they must be great. They make a good product, but most aren't custom made any more, and it seems like their valving is hit or miss. Axis, TCS both good shocks. And they did make a set of float shocks for the banshee, did they quit making them? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 last time i was in the market for fox shock they did not have them for banshee's but i havent looked since then. Quote
chiwape Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Posted October 22, 2007 The only shock i see that fox makes for the banshee is to be used with stock a-arms...wqith will not work for my riding style... Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 a shock that works on stock a arm will work on any aftermarket a arms as well, as long as they are not long travel. Quote
