English term or phrase: a skosh of
You can ride faster and on rougher terrain with more comfort and more control than with a hardtail. Riding is simply more fun - despite a little extra weight and, perhaps, a skosh of lost energy.

No se si le doy el matiz correcto. Mi traducción

Puede conducir más rápido por terreno accidentado y con más confort y control que con una rígida. Montar se vuelve sencillamente más divertido, a pesar del peso extra y quizás, una pérdida de energía innecesaria.

Muchas gracias
