Tyres have no damping though. They can only do so much. At their limit they will bounce on small bumps reducing the contact patch with the ground. In theory the fork will keep the contact patch constant by handling the small bumps.
Cannondale forks have very good small bump handling as they suffer from less stiction than normal dual stanchion forks.
