I need some opinions! I just purchased some long travel a-arms and now i am looking for the shocks to go with them. The brands i am interested in are Custom Axis, PEP, and Fox but still want to hear some input on others like Elka, Progressive, Ohlin, and any others. They are going on an 05 450R (MX setup). Opinions, Prices, and places to buy are certainly welcome. Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Ohlins, in my opinion, are probably the best shocks on the market. People don't know much about them because they concentrate their market on mostly Europe and the sport bike community.

 

Ohlins are on the high end of the price tree aren't they? And where is a good place to shop for them? Thanks!

 

ohlins can be bought out of parts unlimited, but dealers only. i have also heard great things about progressive
