Braking distance<\/h3>\n

Without good shock absorbers, the emergency braking distance is greatly increased at speed which is a bad thing.<\/p>\n

Comfort<\/h2>\n

I must say the broken shocks were more comfortable to ride in. They allowed the springs to cushion out the road defects without hindrance. But security comes first. They had to be replaced.<\/p>\n

The new 2 shocks costed me Rs 5300 (without installation fee). But they don’t come with dust covers so bought them at Rs 700 both.<\/p>\n
