How to select a suitable Betor shock for me?

The Betor Moto-X and Super Shock series are built with identical internal hydraulic valve mechanisms. All Betor hydraulic shocks are Dyno tested and pre-calibrated at the factory to provide the wide range of hydraulic characteristics needed to handle motorcycle displacements from 100cc to 1000cc. Therefore, the selection of the shock can be done simply by the weight of the spring.
