Product Description
Upgrade the rear suspension on your 2015+ Can-Am Spyder F3 or F3-S with the Stage 2 Elka® HYD Rear Shock. This value-focused rear shock is built for riders who want better comfort, improved handling, stronger rear support, and easier preload tuning than a standard manual-adjust rear shock.
The Stage 2 HYD model includes a remote hydraulic preload adjuster, making it easier to adjust the rear suspension for solo riding, occasional two-up riding, passenger weight, luggage, or touring load. It is a strong choice for F3 and F3-S riders who want a practical rear suspension upgrade with convenient preload tuning.
Elka® Stage 2 shocks are calibrated for your Spyder model, rider weight, and riding style so you can bolt them on and enjoy a more controlled ride. The Stage 2 HYD rear shock includes rebound adjustment and spring preload adjustment for improved ride quality, stability, and rear suspension support.

With preload adjustability and improved spring and shock response, the Elka Stage 2 with remote preload adjustment is an excellent choice. I would recommend this to riders who usually carry a pillion passenger.
