Not directly, no. If you consider an isolated torque on the pedals, then the suspension is not actuated. However since the rider is also connected to the rest of the frame via saddle and handlebars, the pedaling counter-torque on the saddle and handlebars does actuate the suspension. It is an improvement on the older design where the BB was not a part of the moving rear triangle, though.
