Elka shocks

[stewartj239]

I loved my Elka s on my 2012 RT but I am not convinced they are necessary on my 2014 RT.

How hard are you pushing your bike? Visually, the 2014 shocks don't look any different than the 2013. Were there any changes made for this year? I know the motor is the main change that stands out, but what about the suspension?

Stock front shocks have stiffer springs firmer dampening

Hi Jim,
The 2014 RT stock front shocks are a good improvement from 2013 RT; pretty good for front stock RT shocks.
But stock rear shock is same with very little dampening (very noticeable if you let air bag all the way softer).
My 2011 Elka's made a big improvement on absorbing small bumps on my 2014 RT, much more stable in corners!!
I added stiffer 325# Eibach front springs to Elka's.
I would recommend any RT owner to buy stage 1+ Elka's for 2014 RT.
Len at Pitbull Powersports really knows how to set them up spot on for RT's!!!
