Look is world-renowned for its road bikes, but at the recent Fisher Outdoor Leisure Show in the UK, we had the chance to see some of Look’s non-road models, including the full-suspension 920, hardtail 986, and cross-country road X85.
Look 920
920The one-piece alloy stem (A-Stem) will immediately catch your eye — this technology first appeared on their695road bikes. In addition to its distinctive aesthetic,Lookclaims that this stem can improve steering precision, likely because its lower front end allows more weight to be placed on the front of the bike when climbing. If you prefer a higher handlebar position, you can install the stem upside down without needing spacers.
The frame, including the swingarm and rear triangle, is all carbon, and the down tube features a metal layer that is said to increase impact resistance by60%percent. The frame offers120mmof suspension travel.
