New member, same issue

[FrankNJ]

Hi all,
I just bought my first PCX (2022). Everything is great except for one issue. As you can guess, it's the hard suspension, which makes it not very fun. They are too stiff. If I ride by myself (84Kg/185lbs), the suspension is harsh. With my son (28Kg/60lbs), it's a bit smoother. With my wife (60kg/133lbs), it smoothes out significantly and I can feel some spring in the suspension. I've seen some other threads on this forum, but looking to see if someone has a quick recommendation for the rear shocks. Any recommendation is welcomed. The price is not an issue because my priority is to minimize the problem.

Other details:
2022 Honda PCX with 480km/300 miles
Me: 84Kg/185lbs.
Based in the US (Massachusetts)
Previous Bike: 2018 Honda crf250l (this bike's suspension spoiled me)
Drive mainly local roads for fun (average speed 50-60km/hour), never more than 65km/hr, but usually over 30km/hr.
Although paved, the roads are rough.

Thanks

I forgot to mention, I mainly ride by myself 90% of the time, so the fix is needed for one rider, not passengers.

Welcome and Congrats on the bike. The link below will direct you to previous discussions on the Forum concerning the rear shocks... maybe you'll find something there or somewhere else in the Technical Section of the Forum.
You can also do an engine search of "Honda PXC suspension Upgrades" or such, to view any number of videos that offer ideas.
