A box of cuteness! These baby Stage 4 Elka race shocks are heading snowcross racing. The Arctic Cat ZR 200 and Yamaha Snowscoot benefit tremendously with this Elka race set up. The shocks come with piggyback reservoirs, adjustable compression damping, adjustable rebound damping and adjustable preload to blow the stock $15.00 shocks out of the water. Springs can be stiffened as the youngins grow, get heavier and faster! The increase in safety, fun and capability is massive. #elkasuspension

A special thanks to all the young snowmobile racer

A special thanks to all the young snowmobile racers we helped out this year at CSRA snowcross. It was great to see their proud faces with their beautiful trophies last weekend at Sledarama. Congratulations to Brent and Locke Martin and Jim and Jack Atcheson. Way to go teams. We know what kind of effort, cost and dedication it takes to be champions. Hats off to you guys. #csrasnowcross #arcticcat #yamahasnowmobiles #polarissnow #skidoo #snowcross #snowmobilertv #osmmagazine

We just want to thank EVERYONE that braved the long line ups last weekend to come to Sledarama in Peterborough. We love seeing our returning friends and customers and meeting new ones! We had a GREAT show!!

SLEDARAMA tomorrow in Peterborough at the Morrow building. Come and see us for you go-fast chassis parts and springs. We are bringing a little new and lightly used youth gear as well (our kids grow up so fast). Stop by and say hi!!! #sledarama #winter #ofsc #ofsctrails #yamahamotorcanada #skidoo #polarissnow #arcticcat

Late night track install on this ole’ 05 Skidoo

Late night track install on this ole’ 05 Skidoo 600 MXZ. Accomplished in just a couple hours, it gave us the opportunity to look at and adjust the clutches, drain, clean and adjust the chain case, clean battery connection, check main and jackshaft bearings and fully service the skid. We installed a set of DuPont Vespel sliders, changed some wheels and wheel bearings, and a new Camso 1.25” ice ripper prestudded track. Up front we removed an incorrectly spaced pair of Fox Float shocks that the seller had installed from an Arctic Cat (2” too long) and dropped in the right KYB ski shocks. This transformed the chassis and made the skid couple properly. Massive improvement. #skidoo #arcticcat #polarissnow #yamahasnowmobiles #camsotracks #kybsuspension #dupontvespel #snowmobile #snowmobiling #snowmobiler #snowmobiles

BIG shocks require BIG spring compressors lol. This huge Fox shock out of an F150 Ford was one of a matching pair that came in for service last week. Our new Intercomp dynamic shock tester allows complete shock testing as wnell as spring removal function. During the service we sent off the spring and reservoir to get powder coated. The shock was badly rusted from the previous owners neglect. Canadian winters are hard on steel shocks, coat your valuables in corrosion spray for long term protection! #truck #trucklife #trucksuspension #foxsuspension #foxtruckshocks #fordtrucks #fordtruck

We did a Huge upgrade to this older Viper last wee

We did a Huge upgrade to this older Viper last week. When it was time to do something to the aging Fox Zero Pro shocks on this Yamaha Viper RTX, Mitch decided on @elkasuspension to give this awesome 4 stroke a ‘new’ chassis. Compression adjustable Stage 3 piggybacks with dual rate springs, a Stage 5 rear shock with the all all important rebound, lighter centre shock springs, the correct torsion springs and an adjustable strap will give Mitch all the tools he needs to conquer the trails!

I modified some cool Elka shocks for this Club Car

I modified some cool Elka shocks for this Club Car last week. It is a single seater hybrid ATV/UTV with a 1000cc street bike engine in it. 😳😳😳. Amir used to race it in Europe 20 years ago. We were able to make a quantum leap forward with Elka shocks and their dual rate springs to control ride height and reduce bottoming. @elkasuspension @clubcar @clubcarpofficial @offroadontario.ca @kawartha_atv @atvworldmag @haliburton_atv @atv

I would love to title this post “look what happe

I would love to title this post “look what happens when water gets in your shock”, but in all honesty it is far more complicated. The reality is that most newer snowmobile shocks we open from KYB look more like the one on the right. The cause, I believe, is what they call in Hydraulics and Robotics (my post secondary field of study) a HWBF or a high water base fluid. Mandatory in avionics where fires can’t be tolerated, more economic (high volume) applications just permit the onset of rust far too early. When taking your shocks in for their annual service, demand a high quality synthetic oil. By the way, these shocks were out of a 2021!! Renegade XRS 900 Turbo with only 5000km on them. Call us if we can help refresh your ride before the snow flies.

This morning’s job lol. Turning Commander shock

This morning’s job lol. Turning Commander shocks into Defender shocks! Every once in awhile an order gets screwed up and Elka helps us fix it. We love our awesome customers and really appreciate their patience when we need to ‘make it right’. 👍🙏😊
