I was'nt really thinking about vertical flex, or drivetrain flex as such. Just that a uber stiff carbon/alu frame seems to transmitt changes in direction or weight distribution sharply. Meaning its easier to ride smoothly (and therefore maintain traction) on a frame with a bit of give.
Its just a feeling a bike has (or maybe its in my head ;) ) when your pushing it on a slipper trail.
