Elka® Stage 4 HYD Rear Shock for Can-Am Spyder F3 / F3-S

Product Description

Upgrade the rear suspension on your 2015+ Can-Am Spyder F3 or F3-S with the Elka® Stage 4 HYD Rear Shock. This premium rear shock is built for riders who want high-performance rear suspension control, convenient preload tuning, and more adjustability than a basic rear shock upgrade.

The Stage 4 HYD model adds a remote hydraulic preload adjuster, making it easier to adjust rear suspension preload for solo riding, occasional two-up riding, passenger weight, luggage, and touring load. That makes it a strong choice for F3 and F3-S riders who regularly change riding conditions or load.

This shock also gives you key performance adjustments, including low-speed compression, rebound, and spring preload. Stage 4 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 for a firm, stable ride that still remains compliant over bumps and rough roads.

Recommended for occasional two-up riding.

Stage 4 HYD Adjustments

• Remote Hydraulic Preload: Makes it easier to adjust rear suspension preload for solo riding, passenger use, luggage, or touring load changes.

• Low-Speed Compression: External adjustment for tuning rear shock compression feel during body movement, cornering, braking, acceleration, and general ride control.

• Rebound: Controls how quickly the shock returns after being compressed. This helps manage rear suspension response and traction.

• Spring Preload: Adjusts the initial force on the spring to help set ride height, sag, and support for rider weight or load.

Adjustment Note: Stage 4 HYD offers more tuning control than basic shock options. Some testing and fine-tuning may be needed to get the best ride quality and performance for your riding style, rider weight, passenger use, and road conditions.
