I now have Works Triple Rate Shocks W/Res. front and Rear with stock length LSR A Arms.I have a little extra cash and am wondering is it really that much of an improvement gettin a longer travel Aarms and Custom Axis Shocks over my current setup.Is it a night and day difference worth the $2000 or so?Im not sure because the best setup i have rode is what i got.I want to keep getting the BEST equipment when i upgrade my Quad but are the Axis Shocks worth the extra $$ than the Elkas?I ride Trails and Dunes.

Are they worth the extra money, depends on how you ride. There is a reason the top pros run PEP and Axis, they're just a better built shock.
I just got my PEP/ZPS long travel shocks, they are unbeatable but it took 10 months to get them!! Axis makes a very good shock, but, they don't make a true ZPS shock like PEP and Elka.

 

Im a little confused on you saying that Axis don't make a true ZPS shock like PEP and Elka.Please explain. late,zubbeyboy

 

I've got a set of CA triple rate shocks w/ rezzys on my Raptor. I also have +3 ATV Racing a-arms, +2 swingarm, +4 axle, so the damn bike is as big as a DS. It rides like a dream! I'm no pro, but I weigh 275, and like to haul ***, so I give my suspension a real workout. The Axis shocks work great, and don't fade out at all. I can hit the whoops with one hand scratching my nuts w/ no problem. The Custom Axis shocks have impressed me quite a bit. I let my brother and a friend ride my bike this past weekend, after catching quite a bit of flack from them for spending so much on the suspension. Well, long story short, now they're jealous and are probably going to be copying my setup exactly. It lets an old 38 year old w/ broken up bones ride like a young kid again, plus still be able to walk after a weekend of hard duning.

 

A true ZPS shock allows a rider to adjust his ride height without sacrificing any wheel travel. For example an ATV with 12" of wheel travel could be set to sit at a ride height of an ATV with only 8" of wheel travel. What does this mean? With the variable center of gravity, cornering speeds can increase greatly. Another added bonus with a variable center of gravity is the ability to obtain more traction than
a higher conventional sitting quad. Another way to explain this is that the chassis "floats" on the suspension, allowing for maximum weight transfer. Since the wheel travel remains the same, the shocks provide the same terrain gobbling smoothness, and big hit absorption as the LTD Mass Shocks that PEP makes.

In other words, Axis doesn't offer this! Go to their web site:

And see for yourself. I'm not saying Axis doesn't make a good shock because they do, they just don't offer a ZPS shock. Whenever you can get the center of gravity on a quad down low without sacrificing travel, like the ZPS allows, you will obviously ride faster with more confidence.
