Stage 2 / Adjustment Features
Rebound
Controls the speed at which the shock absorber returns to its fully extended position after being compressed, keeping the wheels on the ground for maximum traction and reducing the recoil effect caused by the spring pressure pushing back after being compressed.
To use, turn the adjuster clockwise to slow down the rebound or turn counter-clockwise to speed up the rebound.
Preload
Available as a manual threaded adjuster or convenient remote hydraulic preload adjuster. Lets the rider fine-tune the initial force applied on the springs and precisely balance the weight distribution across the front and rear of the vehicle while setting up the ride height (sag) and to lower or raise the vehicle to adapt to various situations or to suit your personal preference.
To use, turn the preload adjustment ring clockwise (from top of the shock) to increase preload and raise the vehicle or turn counter-clockwise to reduce preload and lower the vehicle.

Must Have Upgrade
We have a 2019 RT Limited. I am a two wheel guy, but my wife wanted a Can-AM, she did not want to be a rider on two wheels. We bought one and as I rode it home from the dealer last fall and was concerned about the handling on our secondary roads. The Can-Am was pitching and rolling so badly that I could not travel at the posted speed limits. I know you can get used to many things and there are hundreds of thousands of miles logged on these machines, but it was taking way too much effort to manage this heavy Can-AM. My wife rode it for several months, but I always was concerned it would get away from her. When I researched this concern I found, as you may have, this is a big concern for many. I watched the ELKA video and it made sense. Also found the sway bar here and read the reviews. I installed both. I jumped on the Can-Am and hit the pavement. I hit it hard, after spending the money I wanted to find out what I got. I pushed it hard into the corners and over uneven roads. It was on rails. No darting, the pitching in corners was gone and I wasn't getting sea sick. The Can-AM is now under control. The wheels are planted and the handling is predictable. For the first time it was fun to ride. This is a big heavy touring trike, I can only imagine the what this would do for the RT & RT-S. You Must have this Upgrade.

What a difference it makes
These shocks are top of the line and make a big difference in the way my RT-S handles, I already had added the B_ha_ R_n sway bar which made a great improvement and these Elka Shocks make the bike handle really great !!!

Elka Stage II Shocks
I installed these on my wife’s 2015 Spyder RT along with new Kendra Kanine front tires. We had installed a Baja Ron’s sway bar and links a while back. She claims her ride and handling are so much better. She says the steering is much “lighter” and she isn’t working as hard to steer. If she’s happy, I am thrilled. Great products.

Installed Friday, cross country ride Saturday
I installed front and rear stage 2 at the same time. Installation took about 3 hours for all three shocks. But keep in mind I have a helper, fully tooled up shop, jacks and air tools and lots of experience working in tight places. The initial test ride was just around town, the ride was subtlely different. However, the ride Saturday was FABULOUS. I had a grand ride, amazingly more control on the twisty bumpy country roads! I already had the heavy anti-sway bar and this addition was mind-blowing.

Elka Stage 2 shocks (2 front & 1 rear)
Well worth the investment! My stock shocks were well past their usefulness and the Elkas have my RT handling like it’s on rails just like I was told. Just point it into the curves and go, no more wig-wag on the bars. Also, highway ryding is greatly smoothed out. No more bang over and bottoming out on the bumps and potholes. Rode 700 miles home from Springfield on the interstate and my back was also really pleased with the new ryde.
