It aint a Penske...but its also nearly $500 cheaper.
How was your Elka $500 cheaper than the triple Penske? The Penske 3 way was about $1050 and the Elka Triple shows $895
That makes about $150 difference between the two given similar options(3 way adjustable) with the prices on Lindemann Engineering. The way to have the Penske cost more is to opt for the piggy back setup. They hit you pretty hard to have that option. The remote reservoir is the less expensive way to go with Penske.
They're both good IMHO, I just thought purchasing the Penske would be helpful to a US based company.
I am happy with mine so far. Like Dan, my bike is showing good tire wear and a very stable ride.
