For the elite-level racer, speed is life. But certain things become absolute necessity when the race hits the bell lap. For one, plush rear 100mm travel that doesn't rob your legs of pedaling efficiency. For another, light weight so you can conserve energy, and of course, long-haul durability so you can make it to the finish line.
