i bet we see more high end road bikes with lightweight, elastic/carbon flex suspensions.
About 5-6 years ago, Trek stopped selling the Pilot road bike which had elastomer based rear suspension. One of the guys I've ridden with rides one and it looks like it has around half an inch to one inch of travel. Maybe the new Trek Domane isn't as bouncy and sounds like less travel, so the rider loses less energy to pedal bob?
