Hi to all,
New member here, owner of a 2021 NC750X DCT purchased a few months ago.
I must say that I LOVE (almost) everything about the bike (power, fun, DCT, look, practicality, riding position,...) except the suspension.
I tried a 2020 model before buying mine, and I preferred the 2021, manly because of the for extra power and ride modes. But after riding the 2021 for a few months, and riding a friend's 2020 NC750X back to back with mine on the exact same roads, I find the 2020 suspension way more comfortable (more plush) and my 2021 suspension too harsh for my taste, even after adjusting the rear shock to it's "softer" position. The roads in my area are very bumpy, and if I try to keep a good pace on them, my 2021 suspension gives a hard time to my back and neck, so I'm looking first for a more comfortable and plushier ride. That said, I would not swap my 2021 for a 2020 model, mainly because of the difference in power/fun factor between the two.
I've been searching for hours for a way to upgrade my suspension, but most of the time, the suspension upgrades are for a more sportier ride, and not for added comfort. And very few of them seem to have been done on 2021-up NC's. On top of that, the suspension upgrade world seem to be very complicated, and I'm far to be very knowledgable in that area.
So my question is : is there any suspension upgrade that would provide me with a plushier, more comfortable ride on my 2021 (a comfort comparable to the 2020 suspension would be fine for me)?
The best info I got so far is from a guy named Chris Moss, who upgraded his 2021 suspension to an Hyperpro kit (front springs and rear shock). He says it transformed is bike, but it's still not 100% clear to me if the result he got when he talks about a more comfortable ride was a plushier ride, or just better handling when riding fast...
Thanks for your help.
