Are hydraulic shocks better than gas shocks?

In: Motorcycles, Hydraulics [Edit categories]

Gas shocks are considered better and are usually more expensive. They use pressurized nitrogen to absorb shock, as opposed to hydraulic which uses an oil. The oil in a hydraulic shock may foam under heavy use and lose efficiency.
