Look announced the 996 Pro Team full suspension mountain bike. It is
Look’s first ever entry in the mountain bike FS arena. It joins the Look 986 hardtail in their mtb line-up.

The frame features 100mm of travel and is designed for either 100 mm
or 80 mm of front fork travel. At 100 mm, geometry is at 72.2 head tube
angle and 69.7 seat tube angle. At 80 mm front fork, geometry is at 73
and 70.5 degrees.

The rear suspension features a stable pedaling platform called
A.S.K. or Anti Squat Kinematics. This ‘virtual pivot’ type of  of
suspension design uses the chain tension to counter the compression
forces induces by pedaling. This frame is designed to be comfortable
yet be very efficient and responsive to acceleration forces.
