I googled it and I see a rubber thingy that absorbs the shock of the acceleration and deceleration??????

Cush drives are found on most bikes as a means of reducing not only driveline shock, but smooths the transition of power to the rear wheel to aid control and driveability. In a big way it aids with traction by giving a slightly more progressive feed of power to the rear tire. It has the same effect on deceleration as well. That is the laymans way to explain it at least.
