So, how does the NX500’s suspension fare on Indian roads?
India's roads are known for their diversity and can be everything from smooth highways to pothole-filled city streets to a rough rural path. How a motorcycle is suspended for these different terrains is critical to handling and rider comfort and control. As an adventure-oriented bike, the Honda NX500 is supposed to combine on-road comfort with off-road capability. What riders are most interested in is how its suspension performs against the usual bumps, undulations, and random obstacles that exist on Indian roads. One of the things that people are curious about is whether the stock suspension is tuned for Indian conditions, whether it needs to be tweaked or upgraded. They always compare to other popular adventure bikes in the market when it comes to initial softness, bottoming out on big hits, and plushness on long rides. This also includes the discussion on the impact of the suspension on a bike's handling in various situations, such as highway cruising or riding on crowded city streets with any unexpected road imperfection.
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.
