Overview
About this bike
The XC world is on notice. Look has combined the pure efficiency of a hardtail with the wonderfully compliant and super-light ride of carbon in their 986. It's one of the fastest bikes you'll ride, plus, with their E Post and its rider-tuned elastomers, it's one of the smoothest hardtails around, too. And, this French thoroughbred boasts an 80mm-travel Manitou fork for additional comfort and control and top-notch handling. Complementing the trick frameset is a set of Tune's Super wheels that let you fly down the trail. And, there's a precision drivetrain comprised of a TruVativ crankset with SRAM X.0 shifters and rear derailleur. You get the awesome stopping power of Magura's Marta SL disc brakes, too, and a Syntace bar/stem combo and Fizik seat that are the icing on this sweet ride.
