Whether you need suspension is down to how well your wrists and other body parts can take the vibration.
I live in the New Forest and use a singlespeed cross bike with 35mm tyres and there is nowhere I cannot ride and my average rides are 25 miles with about 80% off road.
I would be lying if I said it was always comfortable though!
