Any direct comparisons of the two on the 1125? I don't need to spend Ohlins money for the level of racing that I do. Both of my previous track bikes have been on an Elka rear triple clicker. I haven't had any complaints...but that was on a GSXR platform. I can get both for the same amount of money. Both have the same features - triple clicker, adjustable preload, and adjustable length. The Elka is a remote res though. This will be on a bike with a full wiring harness and complete rear subframe....is there room for the res on the Elka?

This will be paired with the Ohlins 25mm kit up front.

Showa race shock - preset up for an "average" rider under average conditions. Fully adjustable


Elka - custom setup for YOU. Fully adjustable


If the Elka quality is there, and you have experience, I see this as a no brainer.

Myself, I'm seriously considering a Matris shock and cartridges
