Rebound, not so much if it is different from mass dampening. Take a small rock, hit it sideways with a hammer, it moves a bunch if it doesn't shatter. Big rock doesn't move as far, less chance of shatter. Ever notice the off road racers now have extra large shock absorbers with side oil tanks and heat sinks?
LA freeways were like riding on a dirt road: every 8 ft when a pavement section ended there was a small height difference. My 450cc scrambler would jump, the harleys suspension sucked that all up and all you get was a small quivering.

Trophy trucks weigh as much as two sedans.
What I found interesting was the reason they fly so well has to do with the angle between the rear tire contact patch and the pivot point of the trailing arm (really a beam), which is four feet long. The more acute the angle the better.
The shocks are also more complex than I'd known, with shock cooling reservoirs and bypass tubes.

Took this picture in 2013, and just today I saw a white one on the wild but was unable to take a picture.

Just another Chinese copy of the Honda CG 125 engine, which I'm not sure if it was bored up or stroked to go from 125 to 150cc.
But it has EFI, which is mandatory for newer motorcycles in Brazil.
