I think that's more of a thing in Downhill than in Enduro, but course dependent. For a rough EWS type event a harsh / stiff bike will beat you up more than the time you'll save. I remember reading / hearing somewhere that Jared Graves and a few others would run surprisingly soft setups for rough enduros.
