I have a Wishbone Classic, which is one of the stiffest recumbents there is. It's very laid back, so there's a lot of weight on the rider's back. I've also chosen to put Conti GPs on the bike for maximum speed. On a rough road, this bike hurts. On a smooth road, it's a dream.
All bicycles are a compromise.
My priorities are efficiency, speed and minimizing weight, and I'm willing to sacrifice the additional comfort provided by suspension to achieve these priorities.
