Product Description
Upgrade the front suspension on your Can-Am Spyder F3 with Stage 3 Elka® Front Shocks. This front shock set is built for riders who want a serious front-end handling and ride-control upgrade with more adjustability than a basic shock replacement.
Elka® Stage 3 is one of the most popular shock choices because it delivers a strong balance of performance, comfort, and tuning control at a competitive price. These shocks include low-speed compression adjustment and spring preload adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune front suspension feel, support, and ride quality for your riding style, rider weight, load, and road conditions.
The Stage 3 design is derived from Elka’s top-end Stage 5 model and uses an external compression adjustment knob with an internal high-speed blow-off circuit. The result is a front shock package that offers improved control and stability while still remaining accessible and easy to adjust.
This is a strong upgrade for touring, mountain roads, rallies, spirited riding, and riders who want a more planted front-end feel.
Fits Can-Am Spyder F3, F3-S, F3-T, and F3 Limited / F3-LTD models.

Elka Stage 2 front & rear shocks - RT Ltd
The Lamonster team installed these shocks on my 2019 RT Ltd a couple of weeks ago and so far my trips have been short. 90% of my riding is carrying a passenger and I can honestly say these were what was missing on my bike. They have improved the comfort and ride handling greatly. Looking forward to next riding season.

Elka Stage 3 front shocks - F3 Ltd
Recently purchased and installed these shocks on my 2019 F3 Ltd and though I have ridden on these for only short trips, I can honestly say they have made a huge difference in the handling and comfort. They absorb the road irregularities / bumps / potholes with ease. Looking forward to installing the Stage 3 rear shock next riding season.

Front stage 3 shocks ELKA
Installed the front Elka shocks re set the ride height and took the Spyder out for a burn. The Tribikel handles much better than before. I tend to make one change at a time to make sure I'm not fooling myself. I did this with these new shocks. They did all one could expect. Machine turns in better and you can pick-up the throttle sooner. Maybe most important for me; an old guy the ride was just way smoother. I pushed her harder and was less tired at the end of my ride. Cheers to the folks at Elka.

Elka Shocks for my 2020 F3L
The main thing I didn’t like about my new F3L was that even after I had installed the BajaRon Bar, the front end felt loose and floppy. I gave these shocks a good workout in the Ozarks, and they performed flawlessly.. now my F3L is FUN to ride!
