>>2053419If you're not riding through rough terrain no suspension will be more efficient than having it
That is provided the "lower" terrain roughness isn't such that the person physically has a hard time outputting power at the same time as staying balanced
IMO you'll ve able to go faster with suspension, even if it's mechanically less efficient sinpmy because pedaling and keeping direction+balance becomes easier
