If you’re careful, it handles fine. Yes, it is stiffer than other scooters but good riders can ride bad roads. It’s worth the tradeoff for the sporty feel.

Terrible for Indian roads. To save yourself the pain, get something with softer suspension. The SR 160 Race is not meant to be ridden on our streets.

It's a mixed bag. It's great on smooth roads but you have to slow down and be more careful on bad stretches. It’s not ideal, but you can manage if you adjust your riding style.

It actually handles surprisingly well. The stiff suspension actually works in its favor skipping over small bumps instead of wallowing as softer scooters do.

It's all about technique. Standing up slightly on bumps and using your legs as additional suspension is something you learn. It’s not bad at all once you get used to it.

It’s honestly overkill for most Indian roads. Unless you live somewhere with consistently good tarmac, you're probably better off with something a little more forgiving.
So, how does the NX500’s suspension fare on Indian roads?

On Indian roads, the NX500’s suspension is a bit of a letdown. It’s too soft for our conditions, and you’ll be bottoming out on bigger potholes. I had to get the rear preload adjusted to even make it bearable.

It's pretty good for what it is, I think. It’s not as plush as a full-size ADV bike, but it does a good job with most road imperfections. Sometimes the front end can be a bit vague, but overall it’s a comfortable daily ride.

It's a mixed bag. It soaks up small bumps and undulations really well and is comfortable for long rides. You'll definitely feel it, but hit a big pothole. Good, not great, for Indian roads.

The suspension, I've found, is more than adequate. It’s not top-shelf stuff, but it’s a good compromise between comfort and control. If you're doing serious off-roading, you can always upgrade, but for mixed use, it's spot on.

The NX500’s suspension feels more sophisticated than something like the RE Himalayan. At high speed bumps, it handles better and doesn't wallow in the corners as much. It's definitely superior for tarmac use.

It's just too soft for aggressive riding on bad roads. If you are going hard, you will want to stiffen it up. Out of the box it’s comfortable enough for casual riding and touring.

The NX500’s suspension gets a lot of hate from people, and I think that’s too harsh. It’s not an off-roader, hardcore. It’s more than capable for the kind of mixed riding most people do, including some light trails. Don't expect GS-level performance, though.

I have ridden for a few months now, and the suspension is beginning to grow on me. It’s not perfect, but it works in most situations. Just find the right preload based on your weight and style of riding. Once you get it dialed in, it's quite good.

On Indian roads, the NX500’s weak point is its suspension. It's just too road-oriented and doesn't take the kind of abuse our roads give out. If you’re serious about touring, you’ll want to budget for some upgrades.

In fact, I actually like the softer setup. The bike is really comfortable for daily commuting. For the 90% road, 10% trail riding most of us do, it’s perfectly fine; sure, it’s not ideal for aggressive off-roading.

It's surprisingly nimble! It is light enough to work in tight spots. There are just potholes to watch out for.

It’s a pain in heavy traffic, honestly. When you’re stopping and starting all the time, the sporty riding position gets uncomfortable real quick.

It handles well I find but the heat from the engine in stop and go traffic is unbearable in summer.

It's not daily commuting material, but it's not unmanageable. Weekends are when the real fun starts, hitting open roads.
