Has anyone tryed them and what did you think? They are priced way lower then some of Elka's other shocks.

id like to know the answer to that to ... not so much for the price just are they worth it?

I'm not sure, but I think they are just the recreational shocks that are setup more for dune riding than general recreation. I may be wrong, so don't quote me.

The dune edition on my shocks is just the valving, setup soft for sand dunes.

I had a set of the first Elka Dune editions on my quad for one ride and they did not have anywhere near enough bottom out resistance. So I put them on my Dad's quad with stock length arms (I had them set up for +2) and they rode much nicer, but even then a little soft in my book. If you dont jump or drop off the back side of dunes then they're really plush otherwise you'll be bottoming out left and right

I have the sport/racing series Elka shocks valved for XC and they work VERY good for dune riding. They are just a good all around setup for most everything.
