Anonymous asked: sir in bike shock absorber which is the best hydraulic or nitrox shock absorber

Hi.

I’m not sure where to start but all front forks for Mountain bikes are hydraulic.  There is shock fluid that is used but nothing that would make it like a nitrox shock.  For rear suspension they are typically controlled by either a coil or air compression. Shocks very by brand and purpose so I would first evaluate how you are going to use your bicycle and then determine what level of shock you will need.  I would suggest to check out Fox Shocks Rock Shox or Manitou as those are the major brands for shocks in the cycling industry.  

Thanks,
