Another scooto-vlog - I prove I'm riding a scooter!

Post by honkerman »

I not only show off my Honda PCX, I also ride a Honda Elite/Lead 110.

do the shocks you installed on your PCX take some of the trauma out of riding a bumpy road? If so, where did you get them and what are they called?

They do help, yes. They are NCY shocks and I got them from scooterworks.

It amazes me that Honda could make the elite 110 so perfect suspension-wise, yet the PCX feels like you're riding a cow with the stock suspension.

I gather from the unemphatic nature of this assertion that while they help they probably are not helping to the tune of 370.99$.

I have ordered an Air Hawk seat cushion. I will give that a try first.

The NCY shocks are better than stock by a good amount. As far as whether they are worth the price...well, that's about what you'll pay for aftermarket MC shocks. I could order cheaper shocks from Thailand, but there are questions of ease of returning should they be wrong and time for delivery.
