Angel Scooter had tendency to deformed (from round to flat)

Came as standard for my scooter before, then about 9k km changed to Michelin

Yes, city grip, it's rounder, and easier to lean the scooter but grip so2 only.. maybe was geared towards higher mileage due to the harder compound and Bias Ply design.. (the original was Radial tire = hard to find in MY unless you go back to Service Center)

Comfort is 90% your shock absorber.. unless you change the tire to the higher profile (thicker)

Stiff is not equal to comfort.. try to find the rear absorber that can adjust preload/rebound/compression. And change the front fork oil to a thicker viscosity

I use City Grip 2. Bought from Shopee.

Had been using it since October last year. Really good for city ride. Easy to lean & better comfort compared to my previous one (Metzeler Sportec Street).

I hear you, agree very much. The bike is 5~6k, but the rear suspension will cost quite a lot, I myself will at least put in RCB fully adjustable or YSS. Most people won't even approach this topic but I believe it is under-rated.

If we have to draw a line, the rear shock affects comfort since it supports the rider weight mostly, and front suspension for handling. When ridden aggressively, the rear suspension will affect handling as well. Not to mention improved traction level and tyre wear.

Yup, I was hoping for them to bring in PCX 160 too. Thinking of changing my 2015 PCX. Sadly, I have to stick to my old PCX. sweat.gif
