When riding the same trails back to back on my hardtail and my full suspension bike what you really notice on the flat but bumpy sections is that you can stay seated on the full suspension bike and keep pedalling whereas on the hardtail you'd have to be out of the saddle, and your pedalling would be more sprint than spin.
