Hey, Doug. They were shuttled to the top and the Bomba did climb like a goat compared to the suspension bikes. I had a lot of time to check out the others bikes and the pogoing action of a rear suspension bike is something to behold. I know that there are claims that they are just as efficient as a rigid bike but I don't buy it.
