Hi I am writing in response to request for review about performance on bad roads. In my experience, this bike is MEANT for bad roads as it has the BEST suspension of any bike in the country. It has amazing stability, road grip and handling. So on bad roads, you do not feel even a single bump. I have taken my GF on some pretty long rides on some pretty terrible roads, and it has performed beautifully.
In addition, what helps is the comfort of seating position so that I can ride it a lot, all day, without any strain on the back etc.
Hope that helps you
Raghubir
