ATV Steering Damper |
Quebec, Canada (6/15/2006) - Following
the introduction of its new line of steering dampers,
Elka Suspension is proud to announce that John Natalie
will be racing with the System 5 in the ATVA-MX
Series, and William Yokley will be competing in
the Grand National Cross-Country Series with the
System 3 steering damper.
These two highly influential pro racers were very impressed
by the level of adjustability and the performance that
both units provided in the first testing sessions. They
easily adapted to the smooth feeling of the Elka Suspension
steering dampers and immediately noticed their benefits.
"Awesome! The range of adjustment is right on
and the steering is very smooth. You barely feel it's
there until you really need it upon a harsh impact or
bad landing" observed John Natalie after his first
few laps once the System 5 was installed. 'I had sometimes
complained about arm pumping problems in the past. But
now, the combination of the System 5 damper and Track
System shocks relieves so much work for me that Id be
ready for 40-minute motos!" he revealed later.
William Yokley was also very enthusiastic about the
System 3 steering damper. "A steering damper is
a much needed add-on for woods racing, where unexpected
hits are everywhere and the rider's endurance is put
to test. The System 3 is very easy to install and intuitive
to adjust. The free return to center adjustment helps
the quad to hold its line in the rough stuff. I also
appreciate its compact and sturdy design, it should
be more reliable in adverse conditions," he said.
These new products have been specifically engineered
to perfectly complement Elka Suspension's line of shock
absorbers and linkage components to provide the best
complete package for your ATV, giving you an unprecedented
level of adjustability and performance. The System 3
model offers three different adjustments: high-speed
damping, low-speed damping and return to center damping.
The System 5 model features the same adjustments plus
the adjustment of the angle between straight or cornering
and the cornering damping level. All these adjustments
not only allow a rider to fine-tune the steering damper
to his riding style, helping him when needed without
requiring unnecessary effort to remove vibration over
choppy terrain, but also reduce arm pumping and lessen
rider fatigue. In addition, these adjustments increase
control over obstacles and help reduce lap times.
These lower mount rotary dampers will be available with
all the required mounting hardware for the following
ATV models: Honda TRX450R and TRX400EX, the Yamaha YFZ450,
the Suzuki LT-R450 and LTZ400, the Kawasaki KFX400 and
the Arctic Cat DVX400. Production has started and the
first units will be in stores by August. Retail pricing
for the damper unit and mounting hardware is set at
US$550 for the System 5 and US$475 for the System 3.
Our sales department is currently accepting pre-orders
from customers and Elka authorized dealers.
