The quick is a great bike, and the SAVE feature does work. My Cannondale bad boy has the SAVE and for an aluminum rigid it rides great. My wife has the quick and it also rides real nice.
Be sure to ride each bike before you buy, and don't waste your money on a suspension for that smooth road like that, when you see a root steer around it. Suspensions and fat tires are overkill for hybrid bikes.
