Elastomers on the seatpost instead of suspension forks. Dumb?
Never used one but i figure it is the same as using a soft saddle
>Elastomers on the seatpost instead of suspension forks.
It's not a one or the other. The seatpost is to keep your ass comfortable while sitting down (though it doesn't work because it's a dumb gimmick). Suspension forks are to keep your front wheel on the ground/retain traction on rough terrain, they aren't for comfort.

It is if you arent riding off road

You'd be more comfortable on a well worn in hybrid (basically a "road bike" with wider tires and maybe also a MTB drivetrain geared for low torque).
>>1104758
No, it's not.

No they don't you retard. They soak in large shocks and push the front wheel into the ground, they do next nothing for road buzz as the pistons don't have time to react to those miniscule vibrations. This is what steel and garbon forks are for.

Those perform two very different functions.
