BETOR gas shock absorbers
A detailed explanation of the manufacturing process for BETOR gas shock absorbers.
The new Nitro II gas/oil shock absorbers from Betor.
They consist of a specially constructed double-tube shock absorber unit and springs. The large working chamber contains hydraulic fluid kept under constant pressure by nitrogen gas in a small chamber of the small tube. A floating piston separates the fluid from the gas and moves up and down in direct relation to the action of the damper, constantly adjusting as the terrain changes.
Durable shock absorbers.
These new constant fluid pressure gas/oil dampers prevent aeration and foaming regardless of temperature. They virtually eliminate the problem of shock discoloration over time.
The design of gas shock absorbers
The inherent design of these Gas / Oil Shocks also allows them to be mounted upside down (with shock body and working chambers in the highest position), thus reducing unsprung weight on the swingarm. These units are fully rebuildable and rechargeable. The forward or cantilevered mounting position allows for more rear-wheel travel and allows the shock to run "easier", with less rod and piston travel, increasing the life of the shock. This reduction in internal action by the shock prevents excess friction, heat build-up, and oil cavitation.
The Nitro II shock design and combination of gas pressure, spring rate, and mounting position provide excellent performance on all terrain shapes and sizes. Big potholes and landings are considerably smoother, and riding over small potholes is practically like riding on the street.
