 best bikes going, bombproof and the head angle slackens off greatly when its compressed. its not a pull shock as such, just a single pivot with a linkage which they have been developing for 10years.

 I had an anccilotti dh in 1997 and won the national championship for masters 30-40 class and it was agreat bike. I got it from the beautiful Giovana Bonazi from Italy.fastest women on earth on a bike and world dh champ in the same kind of frame. It is a good brand with a lot of experience

 Hmmm, steep Head Angle (for WC DH anyways) and the suspension uses a pull shock. Doesn't really look like a winning bike to me.

 It says pull shock on it, but it doesn't use a pull shock....I'm fucking confused.

 Hmm, seems I was wrong. Their site says this: - Ancillotti progressive , hermetically sealed, Pull Shock superlight linkage system, allows for the the lowest and most centered positioning of the mass, for superior handling and stability.

 Ok and third post... Sorry I'm f*cking confused by this design. It turns out it's not actually a pull shock in the normal sense of the word. It's not designed like say this scott bike is: mos.bikeradar.com/images/news/2008/06/18/genius1-798-99.jpg

When the the rear wheel is going through it's travel, the shock is extending. On this Ancillotti however, the shock is not extending, it's compressing just like pretty much all other DH suspension systems. What they call a "pull shock" is actually not referring to the shock itself, but it is describing its swing arm to rocker arm relationship.

 Ancillotti pull shock is not like Schwinn or Buell, a “Pull Pull” type, where the shock is also extended; this is a Pull-Push, as it is the simplest solution from a mechanical perspective to compress the Shock than extending it and this does not affect the ride. the important and influential thing is that the swing arm pull the suspension, because the swing arm is collected and retains the wheel, indeed in the pull shock the swing arm pulls and not pushes the system, all the linkage are posed below the swing arm, which is totally different from a push system, where linkage is placed on top of swing arm.
This allows a lower barycenter and reduce the weight of all the linkage more than the directionally advantage of the rear wheel
Ancillotti motorcycles patented the system in the 1980 as first in the market (they invented it) nowadays almost all motorcycles adopt this system as the best.
