Difference three Risse Racing shocks for GT rts?

[Jan-Cor]

Can someone please explain the difference between the 3 types of rear shox from Risse?

The travel is the same, weight is different but what more?

I am looking for a nice new shock to suit my RTS-1. I have made many thoughts about the Risse and it seems the only option to replace the original one.

I have tried to find it on eBay but not found it yet (yes new from Risse but only for other bikes, not the GT RTS).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are talking about Genesis/Astro/Terminator, those are air spring/ oil dampener shocks. They differ in the adjustment mechanics.

- The Genesis is only adjustable by changing the Air pressure with your pump (spring rate) and by changing inner parts and oil viscosity (dampening)
- The Astro lets you change the dampening rate "on the fly" via lever. (How fast will it expand)
- The Terminator lets you change the compression rate "on the fly" with an additional lever. (How fast will it compress)

Last time I spoke to risse they still made or could make a unit for the rts. I've been looking on ebay for years and have only seen 1 for sale.

I have many originals, that's not the problem.
I have one rts-1 which will be completely original like Juli road it. But I have also one as special with Lawill Leader and some other hot stuff. For this project I woukd like to have a special Risse Racing product.
