Elka Stage 3 Shock Set for the Defender HD11 Limited/CAB models

You invested in one of the top-tier Can-Am Defender models—the HD11 MAX Limited or MAX Lone Star CAB. Now it’s time to make that ride the best it can be with the Elka Stage 3 Shock Kit.

The Elka Stage 3 Shock Set transforms your HD11 into an all-new machine, delivering a significantly smoother, more controlled, and more enjoyable ride. Whether you’re cruising around the pits, working on your property, or hauling loads, these shocks dramatically improve handling, stability, and overall comfort.

Designed specifically for your vehicle, the Elka Stage 3 Shocks are vehicle-specific and engineered to maximize the Defender’s suspension geometry. The Stage 3 model is derived directly from Elka’s top-of-the-line Stage 5 shocks and shares many of the same high-end components—giving you premium performance at a more accessible level.
