On a recumbent, your body is in constant contact with the seat. This makes suspension—specifically in the rear—vital for three reasons:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eVibration Dampening:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuous \"road buzz\" from bumpy roads, gravel and trails leads to fatigue.
