Check out what Moun­tain Bik­ing UK’s edi­tor Doddy had to say about the Elka Stage 5 shock when he test rode the 2010 Cove G-Spot at this year’s Inter­bike Out­door Demo in Boot­leg Canyon:

El Cajon, California’s Gar­rin Fuller clinched the ITP Quad Cross Motor­cross Cham­pi­onship with a 1st over­all in the Final ITP round at Glen Helen Raceway. By claim­ing the over­all vic­tory Fuller capped off a very suc­cess­ful year, scor­ing 8 podium fin­ishes and win­ning the Pro­duc­tion 450 Expert Cham­pi­onship title with 222 points over fac­tory Can Am rider Dylan Zim­mer­man who scored 204 points.

Fuller’s suc­cess was in large part, due to the strong per­for­mance of his Dun­can Rac­ing pre­pared Honda TRX 450.  The motor in his Honda proved very fast but also reli­able, Dun­can Racing’s inter­nal engine mod­i­fi­ca­tions cou­pled with a Fat Boy 4 exhaust and Vor­tex igni­tion were just too much for the competition.

Fuller’s advan­tage did not stop at the power plant.  He was clearly pilot­ing the best han­dling bike in the class. Using Roll Design sus­pen­sion com­po­nents through­out com­bined with Elka Sus­pen­sion shocks and GPR steer­ing sta­bi­lizer, Fuller was fast and smooth at every race.

The ITP tire and DWT wheel com­bi­na­tion used by Team Dun­can Rac­ing for over 20 years proved, once again to be the win­ning way.

Fuller will be pilot­ing a Dun­can Rac­ing Honda again in 2010 as he defends his ITP Cham­pi­onship, he will also be vying for a WORCS Cham­pi­onship in the Pro-Am 450 class.

Fuller would like to offer a huge THANK YOU to his 2009 spon­sors and expects all to be with in his quest for more titles in 2010.

Win­ning the over­all ATV and Class 25 vic­tory for the sec­ond straight year was the team led by Wayne Mat­lock, El Cajon, Calif. Matlock’s team­mates this year were return­ing rid­ers Harold Good­man, Brown­stown, Mich., and Wes Miller, Fall­brook, Calif., along with Josh Caster, also of El Cajon. The team cov­ered the course in a cham­pi­onship time of 16:54:52, aver­ag­ing 39.78mph on the No. 1a Honda TRX700XX equipped with Elka Sus­pen­sion. The tal­ented team won two of the three SCORE Baja races this sea­son to earn their sec­ond straight sea­son point title in their class.

Wayne com­mented after the race:

There was a lot of traf­fic at the fin­ish but we really didn’t have any prob­lems. We just put gas in it and went all day long. We changed a cou­ple tires and that was it. I enjoyed rid­ing at night because it’s eas­ier to see oncom­ing traf­fic. I’ve been com­pet­ing in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 with the goal of win­ning this race.

The Pro ATV Class 24 was won by Tom Wright, Taber­na­cle, N.J./ Renaud Fortin & Pierre-Yves Deneault, Canada/ Eric Ger­ber, Med­ford, N.J., on a Honda TRX450 also equipped with Elka Sus­pen­sion. It is worth not­ing that Pierre-Yves, who is work­ing as a R&D tech­ni­cian at Elka, was actu­ally test­ing some new pro­to­type Elka shocks in the most gru­el­ing environment.
