So I have been eying elkas for quite some time like most of us. I'm 99% sure I'm getting a set of stage 3s for the grizz for Christmas from the ole lady. It's suppose to be a surprise but I've been giving her technical info so when she orders em she will get em set up right.
I called and talked to a salesman and at first he told me recreational calibration. I told him I ride 25-30 mph at times through rough terrain at places like royal blue in East Tennessee. Hit some jumps etc. Other times easier riding of 12-18 through tighter root filled trails and rocks at home. And some smoother trails. As well as technical sections with huge rocks and ledges at slower speeds. Then he asked which shocks I was looking at and I said stage 3. He then says oh yes pound the sh!t out of them they will take it. Even says I can easily add my 118 lb passenger and be good to go. So I make the notes for her on my Christmas list-recreational calibration.
So I had never been on an actual computer on their site til this morn, and the actual rider profile and how it's described it looks like I would need the sport/performance calibration. For recreational how it reads doesn't fit my riding style, and they suggest stage 1 or 2 for that. And stage 3 or 4 for how I ride, and for sport/performance. She called yesterday I know and placed the order. After looking at the site today I'm wondering just what I'm gonna end up with calibration wise and if I need to tell her to call back even tho I'm not suppose to know about it all hahaha.
So wondering what calibration you guys that have them are running and how you ride and your suggestions and thoughts. Sorry for the long post. Trying not to leave out any needed details!
Thanks in advance!
