Mono-shocks eliminate torque to the swingarm and provide more consistent handling and [[braking]]. They are also easier to adjust, since there's only one shock to adjust, and there is no worry about matching two shocks. Also, the linkages used to connect the shock to the swing-arm are frequently designed to give a rising rate of damping for the rear.<ref>Motorcycle Mechanics Institute,''The Complete Guide to Motorcycle Mechanics'', 1984, p. 286, Prentice-Hall, Inc., ISBN 0-13-160549-6</ref> | Mono-shocks eliminate torque to the swingarm and provide more consistent handling and [[braking]].
