Any suggestions for replacement Front shocks?

[warrensr]

Looking to replace my front shocks on a 2016 F-3T, any suggestions.

Elka’s are very pricey but we’ll worth it in my opinion

Side by side photo of elka stage 2's and factory shock. They made a significant difference in ride & performance. I can hold a smoother line in turns at a high speed. The bike seems more agile and responsive. Chris

If you want cheaper options than the Elkas, there are Fox Shock upgrades available thru BRP; and some Forum Members in your part of the World, plus a heap of Members & others here in Oz have fitted IKON Shocks - here's the US link for them:

Check them out - you might be surprised! :thumbup:

I have fitted Wilbers all round on my '17TRL and a mate went with the Elka's on his '14RTL. They have been one of the best investments for the RT, and once you chose you'll wish you'd done it sooner. I don't know your riding style, but if your budget allows I'd do all corners.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, I put the Elka stage 2's on the bike and they definitely made a big difference.

Peter, do you have any experience with these? How would you compare them to Elka and Fox https://www.hotspyderaccessories.com/fox-adjustable-front-shock-kit-spyder-rt-2014-and-up/ ?

Never run the Elka's on my own Spyder, but I've ridden other's Spyders with them fitted; and I've tried Fox shocks on mine & also ridden other's Spyders with them.... I reckon most would consider my ryding 'fairly hard' & 'fairly extensive' But for my personal 2-bob's worth, I prefer the IKONS - not as expensive, and maybe they're not quite so adjustable in all respects (but how many actually adjust their shocks all that often?! ) but the mob here in Oz listened to what I wanted/needed & the resulting shock/spring combinations work pretty well for MY loading, ryding, and requirements; and they juuust keep on doing the job! :thumbup:
