Mono-shock Design: Many modern motorcycles, including commuter bikes like the HLX 100, utilize a single rear shock absorber (mono-shock) located centrally, usually under the seat.
Adjustable Preload: Some rear shocks come with preload adjustment capabilities. Preload adjustment allows riders to adjust the suspension to accommodate varying loads, road conditions, and riding styles.
Gas-Charged or Oil-Filled: Rear shocks can be filled with either oil or gas (or a combination of both) to dampen the suspension's movement. Gas-charged shocks tend to offer better performance and stability.
Progressive Damping: To provide a smooth and controlled ride, rear shocks often employ progressive damping. This means the resistance to compression increases progressively as the shock is compressed further.
Spring Rate: The spring rate of the rear shock determines how stiff or soft the suspension feels. This is often matched to the bike's weight and intended use.
External Reservoir (Optional): High-performance rear shocks may feature an external reservoir for additional oil capacity and improved heat dissipation, which can enhance performance during aggressive riding or on rough terrain.
