Product Description
Upgrade the rear suspension on your 2016+ Can-Am Spyder F3-T or F3 Limited with the Elka® Stage 4 Rear Shock. This high-performance rear shock is built for riders who want more rear suspension control, better adjustability, and a stronger upgrade than a basic rear shock replacement.
The Stage 4 rear shock gives you key tuning control with low-speed compression, rebound, and spring preload adjustment. This makes it a strong choice for F3-T and F3 Limited riders who want improved rear stability, better ride control, and more confidence during touring, two-up riding, loaded travel, rough roads, curves, and spirited riding.
Elka® Stage 4 shocks are designed for riders who want high-performance shock technology in a package that is still accessible and easy to use. This rear shock is a strong option when you want more adjustability and rear suspension support than a Stage 2 shock, but do not need the remote hydraulic preload adjuster found on the Stage 4 HYD version.
Fits Can-Am Spyder F3-T and F3 Limited / F3-LTD models from 2016–Present.

Stage 4 Elka rear shock. 2016 F3T
Instantly could tell a difference. I like ease a adjustability. Still working to find perfect Settings. I have stage 3 on the front . Handles so much better money well spent.

Great shock
Awesome to be able to adjust with a passenger. No more bottoming out when hitting a bump. 5 stars

Elka stage 4 rear shock for Spyder F3S
Works well, much better than stock especially on the crap streets we have in San Bernardino. Followed the install instructions and in retro spec probably would have been easier to remove the rear tire. My under tray is not removable due to the Cortech saddle bag mounts, tried removing them but they were locked in place. I did have to carve some of the under tray away to clear the remove adjuster hose, a Dremel with a cut off wheel made short work of it. Came adjusted just about right, I have been fiddling with the compression and rebound settings to accommodate the less than stellar roads around here and it does make a difference in the way the bike takes the bumps. Overall quite satisfied with the Elka.

Came adjusted just about right, I made some minor tweaks to the rebound and compression to accommodate the crap roads in San Bernardino . Install was a bit of a chore cause the top mounting bolt is not easy to get to, in retrospect I think removing the real wheel and the under tray would have been the easier way to go. All in all my Spyder feels more planted and rides over the sharp bumps ( which are very plentiful) much better than the stocker. Only critique is I had to cut away some of the under tray to clear the hose, wasn't to big of a chore with my trusty Dremel and a cut off wheel. I recommend this addition for anyone who wants a smoother more controlled ride.
