Details

We work hard when calibrating our Stage 2 shocks so you don't have to worry about tuning, leaving free to enjoy more riding

Sometimes less is more and our Stage 2 model is a good example. With less adjustments, you can pay less and still get the same quality components and careful craftsmanship as our higher models. While they are not optimized for competitive use, they will greatly improve your UTV's handling and comfort. Don't be fooled by the Stage 2's simplicity, these value-packed shocks are some of the best replacement shocks you can buy for your UTV. This product provides you adjustability over some aspects of the suspension and therefore might require some testing and fine-tuning to obtain maximum performance. With adjustability comes responsibility!

Elka Notes

The Stage 2 is a value-packed model that shares most of its components with our higher-end models. They are calibrated and tuned specifically for your UTV and riding style so you can simply bolt them on and enjoy the ride. They are ideal for riders who are looking for a good shock at a good price.
