suspenion for cross country

[bbcmudtruck]

The best thing I ever did to my bike was add LT arms and shocks. I did try a set of HLS shocks and they were worse than stock and looked like garbage.

2 of us on my team this year are running LSR DC-4 XC with Motowoz shocks i cant wait to try out the combo :-)

I had the new "Elite" Brand new from Laz setup for me.
My big problem is if you are buying an aftermarket shock, they should be rebound adjustable. Not every track and terrain is the same. I was assured they would be great. I was very disappointed and the rebound was Way too quick. Sure he will adjust them but that is time down every time and shipping costs both ways.
I have the rear prolink setup with a revalve and am very happy with it. Laz does some fine work but should really consider the customers lost over not offering a fully adjustable front shock.

No, they were an older set. They were for stock arms and my weight though. I haven't seen the new ones that they got. Mine were steel bodied rezzies and they just looked and rode like shit. I put my stock shocks back on until I got my LT front end.

If that's what you chose to get as long as it's what you want. I would recommend the Fox shocks, or any of the other major shocks before HLS though.

[ihate2strocks]

fox because there an air shox and can take some abuse

If your interested, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do to make EXIT/Ars-FX a cost effective option for you. If it's in your budget, we can easily make you a believer ;)

I can say that I am proof of that. I have owned pretty much every shock out there and theExit 2's are what I will be staying with for awhile. And as far as the ArsFx I haven't ever had another suspension setup be able to hold up to the abuse. And this isn't even mentioning the customer service that is top notch

if you want to save some money, I would go with gtt arms w/HLS shocks

[GNCC811]

GTT arms, HLS shocks, and few other top secret front end parts are the only way to go. This is the most common setup on the front rows with the fastest riders, if im not mistaken, and I'm sure there is a reason for it!!

Pretty sure if you walk the front row at any GNCC Gt Thunder is no where near the most common.

wonder why GNCC PRO (Pickens) switched from exit to HLS in the middle of 2011 season??

wonder why GNCC PRO ELKA rider switched to HLS in 2012?

wonder who found the front end problems and invented the cecco bracket?...GTT.

there's a reason why the HLS shock are where they are today.

Well i ended up getting a little help from GTT this year (Thank you GTT) I haven't got my suspension yet but am really excited to, and i am confident it will be a huge improvement
