Best shock/spring rate for 60kg rider?

[ilikemotorbikessoverymuch]

Stock shock has lost all its gas/dampening on my Atomik Reign

Whats the best shock/spring rate for me being only 60kg.

Thinking 280mm GPX 800lb from dhz. Or they do some more expensive 550lb ones

They run a 1000lb 270mm shock from the factory.
Dont go getting a longer shock unless you want it sitting way higher in the rear end
I'd be looking for a DNM or GPX or Fastace adjustable shock with around an 800lb spring in it.

Both of the above shock would need to have the spring's swapped with new one's''

braaap Spring Rear Shock DNM 800lbs
They do sell a softer 650lb spring but it's 40% softer than the original which would make it too soft i think
braaap Spring Rear Shock 650LBS

GPX is only 10mm more and only comes in 280mm. But its cheap and 800lb so i think ill just go with that. Cheers

You are forgetting the rear swingarm use's leverage to get travel.
10mm at the shock is about 50mm at the rear wheel
So the rear wheel will be 50mm further away from the rear fender

The easiest way to try it out before you buy one that length is to get a piece of wood 300mm long, something like a length of broomstick etc, then drill a 10mm hole 10mm in from each end
Now substitute the wood for your shock and see how high it will sit
