Product Description
Upgrade the rear suspension on your 2015+ Can-Am Spyder F3 or F3-S with the Elka® Stage 5 HYD Rear Shock. This is Elka’s top-end rear shock option for riders who want maximum rear suspension control, full adjustability, and the convenience of remote hydraulic preload tuning.
The Stage 5 HYD model includes a remote hydraulic preload adjuster, making it easier to adjust rear suspension preload for solo riding, occasional two-up riding, passenger weight, luggage, or touring load. This is especially helpful for riders who regularly change riding conditions or load.
Stage 5 shocks are built with High-Flow technology, an ultra-lightweight design, and low-friction internal components. This combination helps deliver smoother damping action, better bump absorption, improved comfort, and stronger rear traction for riders who demand more from their Spyder suspension.
This shock gives you control over all major suspension parameters, including high-speed compression, low-speed compression, rebound, and spring preload. Because Stage 5 HYD offers extensive adjustability, some testing and fine-tuning may be needed to get the best setup for your riding style, rider weight, passenger use, luggage load, and road conditions.
Recommended for occasional two-up riding.
Made to order. Estimated build time is 3–4 weeks.
