Thoughts on Elka Stage 3 shocks for 2022 Brute Force 750?

[texas chainsaw]

I got a 2022 Brute Force 750 and I was wondering if it would be worth it to install Elka Stage 3 shocks on it? I heard that they're really good... I mean read online reviews but it would mean a lot if I could get some info directly from people here in the forums with actual experience.

I threw Stage 3s on my '21 Brute and lemme tell you, WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Really soaks up the bumps. Pricey, yeah, but totally worth it if you ride hard or carry weight. If you're just cruising casually, then it might be overkill.

If you ask me, the brute should've come from the factory with the elka stage 3. It's a massive difference and while I agree with @greg&larry about being pricy, I still think it's an upgrade worth every penny

Many people these days mention the price for the stage 3 elka, which is weird. Sure, they're mot responsive, plus the installation, but aren't they worth it for you? They definitely are for me.

Elka Stage 3 shocks are great for Brute Force ATVs, especially if you ride hard or haul heavy stuff. The cost is the only real issue. Think about how you ride your ATV. Is it mostly trails, heavy loads, or just easy riding? Knowing that can help you decide if they're worth the money.

Cool feedback. I haven't tried Elka Stage 3s on my Brute myself. A friend put them on his last year, and the change was big! We often ride tough trails and haul wood. His Brute stayed steady, while my stock shocks bounced all over. I don't ride quite as hard as he does, so I just got better springs and tweaked the preload for now. But if I ever start hauling serious weight or riding harder, Stage 3s are a must.
