Upgrade the handling, performance and comfort level of your Sport & Racing ATV with our Legacy Series shock packages

The Legacy Series are ideal for casual and recreational riders looking for a simple, affordable shock upgrade or in need of an OE replacement shock. The Legacy Series can improve the comfort, ride compliance and handling beyond what the stock shocks have to offer. Their design is based on our previous generation technology with steel shock body, external reservoirs and basic adjustments. They are sold either as front pairs, rear unit or complete kits that includes both the front and rear shocks at a discounted price to make them more accessible to everyone.

LEGACY SERIES // ADJUSTMENT FEATURES

THREADED SPRING PRELOAD

Lets the rider fine-tune the initial force applied on the springs and precisely balance the weight distribution across the front and rear wheels while setting up the ride height (ground or chassis clearance) and to lower or raise the vehicle to adapt to various situations or to suit your personal preference.

To use, turn the preload adjustment ring clockwise (from top of the shock) to increase preload and raise the vehicle or turn counter-clockwise to reduce preload and lower the vehicle.

REBOUND DAMPING

Controls the speed at which the shock absorber returns to its fully extended position after being compressed from an impact, keeping the wheels on the ground for maximum traction and reducing the bucking effect caused by the spring pressure pushing back after an impact.

To use, turn the adjuster clockwise to slow down the rebound or turn counter-clockwise to speed up the rebound.

LOW-SPEED COMPRESSION

Allows fine-tuning of the damping resistance when the shock is being compressed slowly. This adjustment controls body roll when cornering, rear-end squatting under hard acceleration, front-end diving when braking, riding over whoops at moderate speed, undulations and elevation changes in the terrain.

To use, turn the red knob clockwise to increase damping resistance, therefore making the suspension stiffer or turn counter-clockwise to reduce damping resistance, therefore making the suspension softer.

OPTIONAL SHOCK PROTECTORS

Protect your investment with those lightweight composite shock protectors which helps prevent roost and debris from damaging the shaft, therefore extending the life and service intervals. Available as a add-on option for the front shocks, either sold separately or comes free with the rebound upgrade on the front shocks.

Not offered for mini-quads. Kit includes the anodized CNC-machined spring retaining clip and necessary mounting hardware. Will fit Elka shocks only.

LEGACY SERIES // TECHNICAL FEATURES (click title for details)

  • Huge oil ports providing massive oil flow
  • Equivalent flow capacity upon compression and rebound stroke (1:1 ratio)
  • Low restriction of the oil flow = plush, predictable & consistent damping action
  • Less stress on internal parts = more durability and longer intervals between servicing
  • Components that are precision-machined from aeronautical grade billet aluminum
  • Sleek, lightweight reservoir with recessed cap to better protect the nitrogen valve
  • Ultra-light spring design with bigger outside diameter and less coil turns, providing important weight reduction while maintaing the reliability and intuitive ride-height adjustability of coil springs vs. air springs
  • Reduced weight and friction = less stiction and lower operating temperature = more resistance to fading
  • Crossover spacers design that reduces the accumulation of debris, therefore reducing wear on the body
  • Optional lightweight composite shock protectors to provide further protection against roost and other debris
  • Neutral look and colors that blends well with any quad model and livery
  • Hard-anodized aluminium internal floating piston for low operating temperature
  • Aluminum body that dramatically reduces overal weight and better dissipates heat
  • Hard-anodized to very tight tolerances to improve durability and further reduce friction
  • Special thread design on the aluminum body that provides more surface and less friction to making preload adjustments much easier
  • Allow the rider to adjust the shock to react differently to various terrain conditions without the need to compromise
  • Independent adjuster knobs for high-speed compression and low-speed compression
  • Separate circuits allowing smooth transition between high-speed and low-speed action
  • High-speed circuit acts like an internal relief valve to provide similar benefits to a bypass shock without the added complexity and “lock-out” effect
  • Provides a smooth surface that helps reduce internal friction inside the body
  • More durable finish than regular sulphuric anodization generally used on lower-end products
  • Hard chrome-plated shafts
  • Seal head design is composed of external dust wiper, high-pressure step-seal and o-ring
  • 46mm shocks also feature a double dust wiper to further prevent debris for entering the shock
  • Low-friction o-ring material is certified resistant to greater temperature changes
  • High material memory that helps maintain sealing properties in harsh conditions
  • All sealing components are premium quality, carefully selected for their optimal balance of performance and durability
  • Fully synthetic proprietary blend
  • Ultra-low friction light viscosity grade
  • Ultra-resistant to high temperature
  • Extended usable life
