Does having suspension on your mountain bike slow you down on a straight?
Emfoster91
Yes, significantly so. If you think about it, a lot of your expended energy is being lost through 'vertical' movement when what really makes you go faster is 'horizontal' movement. The thicker tread tyres on your mountain bike will also slow you down due to increased rolling resistance.
