Hi，everyone, when I passing through some damaged road （5-10km/h）， I found it difficult to control. Is it because the rear shock absorber is in its softest state at low speeds?

I think any bike (except and adventure bike) will struggle a bit riding over this kind of surface. I don’t think it is the suspension but in this particular case the steering will wobble a bit given the surface is uneven, not flat.

Part of me would say ride a bit faster....... though that could be the naughty bit..... anyway.... I'd blame the road surface.... looks like a surface that needs 6" of suspension travel or more.... and a bigger front wheel... definately a "pay attention and pick your line if on a R18" kinda section.

That is a road more suited for a GS Adventure; if on an R18 B or TC, take the left side of the what's left of that road ... (if we can call it a road)

I’m thinking any bike with the best suspension in the world would have difficulty with that particular kind of road. You’re not only dealing with up and down but side to side unevenness.
