A Hard Tail will beat you more,
A Hard Tail Is Light and faster on the smoother stuff, All things being equal, Its more efficient overall.
A Full squish offers more,,,S-Q-U-S-H Its softer, It's more comfortable yes BUT......
It offers more traction and control when things get rough,,,IF and this Is a BIG BIG IF,,,,
IF you set it up right and learn to ride light,,,
A Full squish can eject you over the bars in a VERY bad way going down a hill If you do not ride It correctly....
Your legs must still be the main suspension~~~~~
