The newest development after gravel bikes with suspension forks: Gravel bikes with suspension forks and flat bars. I simply have to have one!
>>
Short travel drop bar bikes make perfect sense tho
Drop bars are more ergo for riding long distances and suspension reduces fatigue
>>

>reduces fatigue
that's what the fat tires are for
>>

I consider it absolutely indisputable that full suspension is superior to no suspension, in performance, in all instances, and it is only the retardation of most bicyclists that is slowing that realization.
None of the arguments against suspension hold water.
I have always felt more other cyclists are retarded. Most people are retarded. But recently I’ve seen several videos from allegedly well respected creators that so badly misunderstand bike geometry, how the bars interact with steering geometry, and several other topics, that my opinion has fallen even further.

If you do a google image search for "aalewis" on duckduckgo, one of the first results is a full suspension bike. Make of that what you will.

well there you have it. no need for suspension, or even really tires and a saddle.
oh wait a minute, these bikes are optimized for riding as fast as possible on a perfectly maintained surface. not even something so rough as asphalt.
nta btw

The ONLY time suspension improves performance is when riding hell for leather down twisty technical rock and tree root strewn trails by improving traction.

That's it.
In every other scenario suspension slows you down. It adds weight, saps energy and adds multiple new potential points of failure to your bicycle.

Retard

None of you are capable of basic thought
>>
>>2053080
retard, its heavier than a rigid, more expensive
and you have to service it more. Having a blown out fork or especially rear suspension is annoying.
>>2053090
also retarded, suspension is nice for anything off asphalt thats not a smooth dirt path. It's not essential but you're still retarded

everybody here is retarded and can't accept that a rigid bike is nice when the trail allows for it, but suspension is also nice at the same time

Isn’t this basically just a hardtail mtn bike
>>
>>2053138
yes
>>
>>2053138
Look at you, nicely observed!

>>2053138
I believe that is the joke, sir.
>>2052928
Needs proprietary wheel size so I can buy all new everything.

What development the next development was a fucking engine and it happened 120 years ago. We don't use these gay boy kids toy transportation.
