Do you need sus for the road, no. I do like my front fork working when I take the mt bike for the commute. Big potholes around here. Bluegoatwoods, do you own a mt bike or travel off road? We have this stuff called granite which comprise most of our trails here in New England. Suspension is used a lot here. YRMV.
