I totally agree with Niner that we need some sort of suspension in order to have a blast in hard gravel rides but I do not buy their solution just yet. I think that Specialized with new Roubaix is doing a more adequate job. Their future shock 2.0 is enough for the front and a nice flexing seat tube combined with / or flexing seatpost like VCLS 2.0 is enough for the back. Adding real suspension causes a lot of drawbacks: not only weight penalty but also black / white situation. When you lock the suspension to get better power transfer you will feel every bumb 2 times more because rest of the frame is totally rigid to accomodate suspension and when suspension is ON, you loose a lot of power just to move forward so it is esentially a solution for downhill and not everyday riding. But maybe Niner will prove me wrong...
