The Ultimate Suspension Upgrade for Your Kawasaki Teryx
If you're looking to transform the performance of your Kawasaki Teryx T2 or T4 and Teryx S, Bandit UTV Suspension’s Black Label Shocks are the best upgrade you can make. These shocks aren't just an aftermarket improvement—they are built to the same standards as the respected Elka Stage 3 shocks, giving you race-level quality, durability, and control.
But the Bandit Black Label Series goes even further. You get an unbeatable 2-year warranty on all hard structural parts and a lifetime warranty on the springs—coverage most other brands won’t match.
On top of this reliability, your standard Teryx models (non S models) gains 25% more wheel travel compared to factory OE shocks. That means a smoother, more controlled ride across any terrain—whether you’re rock crawling, trail riding, or hauling loads.
Bandit Black Label Edition Stage 3 Shocks: What Sets Them Apart?
No other brand comes close to matching the quality, performance, and price of the Bandit Black Label Edition Stage 3 shock package.
This collaboration between Bandit and Elka showcases the best of both brands. Every shock features the Bandit Black Label logo proudly displayed on the reservoirs, along with Elka’s “Made in Canada” stamp and a unique serial number on each shock. A custom blueprint graphic design sets this series apart visually—giving these shocks a premium, exclusive look you won’t find anywhere else.
Function meets form with the large piggyback-style reservoirs and easy-to-adjust compression settings, backed by advanced internal technology like Terrain Sensitive Valving (TSV). This design offers dual-speed performance for comfort and control on the roughest trails.
With over 40 years of combined shock-building expertise (15 years from Bandit UTV Suspension and 25 years from Elka Suspension), this package delivers confidence, performance, and durability for every ride.
