If you're upgrading your UTV suspension, you’ve probably heard the name Elka. Known for race-proven shocks that deliver performance and reliability, Elka has earned a serious reputation.
At Bandit UTV Suspension, we’ve taken that engineering foundation and built something even better.
Bandit + Elka: A Custom-Built Suspension Partnership
We partnered directly with Elka to create the Bandit Black Label Edition—a UTV shock package you can only get through Bandit UTV Suspension.
These shocks combine Elka’s premium internals with Bandit’s real-world tuning and spring customization, built specifically for how and where you ride.
This isn’t just a private label setup. It’s a precision-built suspension system—engineered by Elka, fine-tuned by Bandit.

Built for Your Ride, Not Just Any Ride
We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Every Bandit Black Label shock is:
Valved and sprung for your exact UTV model
Tuned for your terrain and riding style
Set up with custom spring rates—no guesswork
Whether you're rock crawling, trail riding, racing through dunes, or hauling gear on the job, we tune every shock package to perform for you.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Less body roll in fast corners✔️ Better absorption in rocky terrain✔️ Improved traction and handling✔️ A smoother ride, even when loaded down
You’ll feel the difference the first time you hit the trail.
Warranty Coverage That Stands Out
We back our suspension packages with the best coverage in the business:
Lifetime Warranty on Springs If a spring fails under normal use, we’ll replace it—no hassle.
2-Year Warranty on All Hard Structural Parts This includes shock bodies, shafts, mounts, and reservoirs. Most competitors don’t even come close to offering this level of coverage.
Quality Control with a Personal Touch
Every shock we sell comes with a unique serial number. That lets us track each build, offer more precise tech support, and make tuning adjustments if needed.
Every unit is also hand-assembled and inspected before it ships. If it doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t leave our shop.

Hassle-Free Install + Free Shipping
Your Bandit shock package ships fully assembled—ready to install right out of the box. You won’t be piecing things together or guessing which part goes where.
And we don’t tack on extra shipping fees. Free shipping to the U.S. and Canada is always included in the price you see.
