Pair of Betor Classic Aluminium Trials Shocks - 360mm

Pair of Betor Aluminium Trials Rear Shocks

1 pair - 14.17" - 360mm

These are the new lightweight version of the trusted Betor Trial Shocks. The spring holder is aluminium rather than steel. The spring adjuster and upper mount for the shock are also aluminium saving about 10% of the weight. Spherical bearing fitted in one end with rubber & collar in the other.

The latest models feature:-

• Lighter body

• Stronger oil seal & plate

• 12 month warranty against failure

The spring is infinitely adjustable by means of a screw thread rather than a circlip & grooves. We set the springs length at 250mm before shipping, this is a good place to start.

• Damper bodies are steel with a chrome finish

• 14.17" - 360mm

• Choice of 40lb or 50lb spring

How to choose your spring weight

• 4.1" (105mm) Travel

• 11mm Damper Rod

• 12mm eyes either end, although we can supply 10mm & 8mm bushes on request

• Spherical bearing in one end and standard rubber & collar in the other

• Damped using a combination of Oil & Nitrogen - Each has its own chamber

• 2.10 kgs

• Fully rebuildable

• Can be used either way round but we recommend having the valve at the top as this protects it from damage and reduces the unsprung weight of the bike so the suspension works even better. Stickers supplied loose so you can fit them the correct way

• Ready to fit and use

• 12 Month Warranty against failure (not including accidental damage)

The Betor Aluminium shock has the spring preload infinitely adjustable by means of a screw thread which can be adjusted whilst the shock is still on the bike without the need for tools.

We fit these to all our TY125 & TY175 bike as the extra length not only increases ground clearance but improves the steering quite dramatically. The only modifications that needs done is to drop the forks in the yokes so the chrome slider is level with the top of the yoke and extend the sidestand by 20mm.

Also standard length for the following bikes -

Kawasaki KT250

CCM / Armstrong 250 / 320

Montesa Cota 248 & 349

I have also got this length fitted on my 1967 Bultaco Sherpa T Model 27 following some advice given to me personally by the certain Irish chap who developed the bike in the first place!

Lovely smooth action with superb damping characteristics 

Ideal for the novice, clubman and expert although we find experts can ride with 2 rods welded on the back and still win but us with lesser abilities need all the help we can get

With valve for re-gassing

Please note:- NEVER touch the valve unless you are re-gassing the shock, they are not adjustable that way!

Please note:- if you have a WES or other aftermarket silencer the right side shock will need to be spaced out a bit so the adjuster clears the aluminium
