Regarding trekking and touring bikes; I see SO many entry bikes with suspension - I understand the intention is to make them comfortable. But then I see most of the biking community talking about "tire will do the most suspension".
if this is actually applies; why is it that bike producers put suspension on almost ALL entry bikes I can find? I am really confused by it - doesn't it just complicate the production or what is going on here?
