2015-2022 ZForce 500 & 800 Trail UTV Shocks – Bandit Black Label Performance•2

Smoother Ride. Greater Control. Built the Bandit Way.

Bandit Black Label Performance•2 UTV Shocks deliver improved comfort, traction, and handling for riders who want a serious suspension upgrade without unnecessary complexity. Designed by Bandit UTV Suspension in collaboration with the Elka Suspension family, each shock is individually serialized and built using precision components developed through over 40 years of off-road experience.

Performance•2 shocks are engineered for riders who want more control and adjustability than a basic shock upgrade while maintaining a straightforward setup. Custom-sprung for rider weight and tuned for real-world riding, they deliver confident handling and balanced performance across trails, hardpack, dunes, and uneven terrain.

What You'll Notice After Installing Black Label Shocks

• Trail bumps and chatter feel significantly smoother
• Your machine stays more planted in corners with reduced body roll
• Tires maintain better traction across rough terrain
• Suspension responds more consistently over changing terrain
• Increased rider comfort and less fatigue on longer rides

Who This Suspension Is For

• Riders upgrading from factory suspension who want improved control
• Trail riders looking for a smoother and more stable ride
• Riders who want some suspension adjustability without complicated tuning
• Owners who want performance-focused suspension with dependable reliability

Performance and Control You Can Trust

Performance•2 shocks use a durable emulsion-style design that provides reliable damping and consistent performance across varied riding conditions. This proven design improves ride comfort, traction, and stability compared to factory suspension while maintaining a simple and dependable setup.

Front shocks feature threaded spring preload adjustment, while the rear shocks add rebound adjustment, allowing riders to fine-tune how quickly the suspension returns after compression.

Bandit TSV (2-Stage Terrain Sensitive Valving) helps the suspension respond to changing terrain conditions, delivering comfort during slower trail riding while maintaining control when speeds increase.
