Downhillnews is excited to get the chance to try out the new 2010 Elka Stage 5 rear shock. Ever since Elka announced they were jumping into the mountain bike suspension segment we were excited. The Elka will be mounted to the 2010 Santa Cruz V-10 we tested a little while back. The same test riders will give it a go and write down their thoughts after they are done. They will also fill out grade cards to help give a sense of how the Elka shock handled various situations.
The shock itself is a beautiful piece of work. Machining and billet aluminum makes up the Elka Stage 5. It has very finished look and feel to it. The knobs turn easily with nice clicks. Elka seems to have brought to market a very well built shock that will come custom tuned to the individuals particular bike.
