No sorry, I was mistaken, not what I read. THIS is what I've read;
Cross-country riders typically gravitate toward hardtails as these bikes allow more direct transfer of power between the pedal stroke and the rear tire. A full-suspension bike can soak up a lot of a trail bumps and chatter, but the bike can also “bob” a bit and you lose some of the energy transfer when climbing uphill.
The bounce was a guy I know saying his previous FS was bouncy.
I've been thinking of picking up a bike this winter to start riding next year so I've been reading and trying to determine what type to get. I think I've decided on a 27.5, but not sure if I want 27.5+, or hardtail vs FS.
