Overview
About this bike
Look's 979 is a cross-country speed machine that's designed from the ground up to be fast, comfortable, and efficient. Its ultra-stiff, high modulus monobloc carbon frame keeps weight to an absolute minimum, making it easy to power up and over technical terrain. Rockshox supplies their XC-focused Recon Gold TK fork to maximize your speed up and down the mountain. 29-inch SRAM Roam 30 wheels are fast, stable, and wrapped in Continental Race King tires to keep things hooked up as you tear through the turns. Meanwhile, a screaming fast Shimano Deore XT drivetrain gets you up the hills with Shimano's trademark fluidity. And SRAM Avid DB3 hydraulic discs keep the fun under control. Also, a WTB Silverado saddle, FSA V-Drive handlebars, and foam grips from Look keep your contact points dialed so you can rally all day.
