I always hear everyone talking about other shocks like elka, works & even axis sometimes, though i never hear about pep's. Why doesn't pep ever get a mention because i am starting to think theres something wrong with them. Has anyone ridden a raptor or any bike with pep shocks or have their bike set up with them. If so how do you rate them against the others.

 

Awesome........up there with Axis and Elka.

 

I run peps on two raptors I love them. If you get the front also get the rear one too,or have your stock rear shock revalved.

 

Do you run the ZPS or a different pep shock....... Also what is the best a-arm to go with the zps fronts. I am wanting a full blown mx raptor without having to buy a new frame, so whats the verdict on the best shocks( i figured it'll be between Axis & pep ) for mx?

 

PEP's are very nice shocks.

 

For MX go wide, +3 at the front (don't get arms that are forward) and don't go over +2 at the rear or it won't turn. (only go over +2 rear if you can't ride and just strip or hill shoot all day...yawn) I've run PEP ZPS for the past 2 years with LSR A-Arms and Swingarm. ZPS are easy to adjust for height, easily tailored to riding conditions (MX, TT, Hill climbs, trail, what ever). I got PEP shocks as down here in NZ we have a PEP/Sparks rep whom raced in the US pro ranks for 7 years who helped me setup. Gleaning the experience of those more expert is invaluable.
