    Default Why is an Elka Stage 2 Rear shock almost twice the price of front shocks?

    Can someone here say why the rear shock is almost twice the price of a front shock?


    Don't understand.

    TIA

    Talk to PeteOz if you want to know more about the first lot Cobwebs linked; IIRC, they are available over there - I believe there's even a US Office & website.

    Yes, there are a few US Spyder riders who have gone with them. They are competitive even with shipping costs to the US. They have limited adjustments but work very well.
