                                  ATV Rear Linkage
                                  Finally a solution to address the TRX450R rear 
                                  end suspension problems
                                 Quebec, Canada (2005) 
                                  - This limited edition dual linkage was specifically 
                                  developed for pro-level riders looking for a 
                                  smoother rear suspension that will still prevent 
                                  bottoming. Elka Suspension’s Pro Dual 
                                  Linkage provides a full 12 inches of wheel travel, 
                                  which is 3 inches more than stock suspension 
                                  and 2 inches more than an Elka Suspension rear 
                                  shock combined to a stock linkage. 
                                 To 
                                  achieve such travel, this set-up uses a longer 
                                  17 inch specific shock absorber that allows 
                                  5 inches of stroke. This combination will provide 
                                  a smoother progression by varying the motion 
                                  ratio from 4.0 in the beginning to 1.8 at the 
                                  end of the compression cycle. The result is 
                                  an initially smoother suspension that gradually 
                                  gets firmer without any harsh spots to finally 
                                  offer more resistance to bottoming.

                                Compatible with virtually all 
                                  swingarms, this new system doesn’t require 
                                  any modifications to your ATV except for the 
                                  skid plate which will need more clearance. Made 
                                  from 7075-T6 aeronautical grade aluminium, the 
                                  Pro Dual Linkage is strong and resistant without 
                                  any major weight penalty. The high-quality needle 
                                  bearings used at all pivot points will ensure 
                                  a long-lasting, low friction use. It is also 
                                  anodized to match the beautiful look of your 
                                  Elka Suspension rear shock absorber.
                                The longer rear shock and the 
                                  dual linkage are sold as a complete combo only 
                                  and retrofit options are not available. The 
                                  5 inch stroke of the shock absorber will make 
                                  adjustments and fine-tuning easier by allowing 
                                  more stroke before reaching full travel. Riders 
                                  will also notice less fading because the linkage 
                                  will reduce the workload for the shock absorber. 
                                  The Pro Dual Linkage will not affect the ride 
                                  height while still allowing adjustments to it.
