Best back set up for handling rough roads?

Best bike set-up for handling rough roads?

Hi guys

Early days yet, but I am considering the future purchase of a trike. I have ridden bikes all my life and have also owned a couple of combos, but never a trike, and I love the look of them.

In the UK many of our main roads are pretty rough with pot holes and repairs etc, so I will be looking for a trike that will glide over them without any great drama. I am currently researching the Rewaco and Boom trikes amongst others, but I need advice on how different suspensions handle such bumps.

The main choice at the rear seems to be solid axles vs independent wheel suspension and at the front standard bike forks vs leading link.

Can anyone give me guidance.

Thanks

If you have a lot of rough roads I would stronly recomend a independent suppesion.

Definitely independent suspension. Some tequila before hitting the road helps deaden the back pain also.:Wrong:

Thanks guys - thats the back sorted out. What about the front forks?

if you have an opportunity to ride both--
solid and indep pls go for it and you can decide if the extra money for independent is worth it.
i went solid because i didnt want the chance for replacing all those moving parts --but i dont know how long those moving parts last.

For the front...... leading link ThumbUp Like having power steering, and sure helps old shoulders!
