  • HELP: Bike with Softest REAR suspension setup & highest travel.

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to ask all you guys which desi bike in 150cc category or less has the softest rear suspension setup & the greatest rear wheel travel?

    The reason for asking this is i currently ride a p150 with nitrox shocks & find it rear suspension setup not adequate for long riding on rough roads. gives too many jerks to the spine on untarred roads resulting in back pain.

    What do you guys say?

        have u tried adjusting ur suspension to the softest setting ? . I guess most bikes can be adjusted easily as i myself ride on the softest setting on my RTR

          the softest rear setup amongst the 150's is of P150.......
          if you'll pe putting it into hardest setting it'll be the softest in 150 club too........

          the ideal setting is the 3 setting but if you're more into attackin corners 4 or 5 is the best but ur back will be takin the beating then.....

            Have you tried Honda Shine? 125 cc though, comes with very soft shockers and suspension. Ergonomically designed and provides perfect sitting posture for long hauls.

              sorry for the late reply guys. my shocker is already in the softest setting.
              for some reason i feel that the shockers are overdamped or something.
              does any one know about good aftermarket shocks for p150.
              any possibility of fitting unis monoshock
              guys no ideas about rear wheel travel? no one talked about it .

                Try Hero Honda Hunk. It also has gas shocks and soft suspension. Check FZ-16 too, it has longest play and you can set it to soft. Go and test ride both and decide.

                  The pulsar's suspension is much softer than the Hunk..

                  And that is one of the reasons u just can take corners at a fast pace...

                  Keep it at the hardest setting and u might like it, u can cut corners more easily and the rear end wont bottom out as it does in the soft mode..
                  When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)
