Product Description
Upgrade the rear suspension on your 2015+ Can-Am Spyder F3 or F3-S with the Elka® Stage 5 Rear Shock. This is Elka’s top-end rear shock option for riders who want maximum rear suspension control, full adjustability, and premium performance without the remote hydraulic preload adjuster.
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. That makes it a strong choice for performance-minded riders, spirited riding, rough roads, aggressive cornering, and riders who want maximum tuning control from the rear suspension.
Because Stage 5 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.
Made to order. Estimated build time is 3–4 weeks.

Elka Stage 5 Rear Shock
I ordered the stage 5 shock because I wanted the adjustability. However, I have to say that the way the factory dialed it in was pretty much perfect. Aside from the somewhat tight space of the upper bolt, it was straightforward to install. The remote adjustment device goes on the right side upper frame member, easily accessible (although given the nearly perfect set-up by the factory, I doubt I will be adjusting it much). The ride is firm but not at all harsh, which is just as I had expected and hoped for. I can’t recommend this shock enough. Very happy with the much improved ride.
