I always considered suspension's (of the wheels, not the rider) main benefit to be that of control, not comfort or pinch flat prevention. When the road is rough lifting off the saddle helps the rider to stay centered and in control. A rider bucking up from an impact isn't the way to steer and balance. Andy
