The Indian roads are mostly considered rough and more ground clearance can save your vehicle from rocks, obstacles and speed breakers on the road. Cars and bikes are sold in India with around clearance of 110 mm also while they are not a good option to be driven on rough roads. This can lead to an accident, specially on a bike from which the the high speed fall can be deadly for the rider. High ground clearance also helps in rainy season when roads are filled with waters. Otherwise, its better to drive a car or a bike with low ground clearance on highway as it increases stability.
