I am going to be getting Front Axis Shocks for my Banshee. But I do not do if I should get the Triple Rate or the Dual Rate.
Most of my riding is on Trails and on a MX Track.

I got my on dual rate and I like it alot. I used it on the dune and desert racing.

I would call them and let them know what kind of riding you do and they will be glad to asnwer the questions you have.

If you are going to spend the bucks for Custom Axis (which I believe are overpriced anyways), you might as well get at least compression/rebound ajustability... it is WAY worth it...

I have had TCS shocks and trust me ALaskaYFM, Axis are not overpriced! So far there is no comparison between the Axis and the TCS. I will say that the Elkas I rode on were very nice as well, but they were set up for someone about 80 lbs. heavier than me.
