Look Bikes are a French high end Road Bike and MTB Bike manufacturer with a long history of innovation and cutting edge technology. Look Bikes have a long history of technological breakthroughs in the world of cycling in the 1983 Look introduced the first clip less pedal system and in 1985 Bernhard Hinault won his record fifth Tour De France using them. Look clip less pedals are still the benchmark for clip less pedals in the pro peloton. Look cycles also have a long history success in the world’s great pro races. Look Cycles were also one of the first to use Carbon composite in Road Bike Frame design and manufacture. Look carbon road bike manufacture involves a complex process of combining the differing properties of carbon in a Look Frame to offer lightness, stiffness and high resistance for this reason a blend of HR (high resistance carbon), HM (high modulus carbon) and IM carbon to produce the perfect carbon composite frames for the serious road cyclist. Look produce both lugged carbon frame designs such as the Look 595 frame and carbon Monocoque frames such as the Look 586 Frame series. Look also produce a range of Women specific designed road bike frames in the Look Elle series to fine tune the bike frame to a women’s specific anatomical requirements.
Look are one of the largest producers of Top end Road Bicycles and have had a strong presence in the pro cycling circuit. Look currently supplies bikes to the Cofidis Pro cycle team, which has been one of the strongest French pro cycle teams in recent years. The Look Sponsored Cofidis team won 20 races in 2008 UCI Pro Tour with Cofidis team leader Sylvain Chavanel winning seven races to become the best French rider of the 2008 professional road cycle season. If you’re looking for a top quality road bike with a pedigree for innovation and a long association with pro cycling then Look Road Bikes are amongst the very best.

LOOK ROAD BICYCLE InFORMATION

 

Look 596 Carbon Road Bike 2009 The Look 596 Frame was manufactured specifically tfor stiffness and aerodynamic shape consisting of 3 monoblocs: the front triangle has an integrated seat post and the 2 halves of the rear triangle, left & right sides has 2 wishbones, a left and a right: left & right half of the seat & chain stays. The seat junction uses a flat surface to act as a carbon plate allowing greater contact surface for greater durability & stiffness where the parts connect.

Look 595 Carbon Road Bike 2009 The Look 595 Frame uses the finest carbon technology with the 595 is the first frame to use carbon Nanotubes. resin is enriched with carbon Nanotubes which allows for increased adhesion between layers. increasing lug stiffness and extending the life span of the frame. As used by the Credit Agricole Team

Look 586 Carbon Road Bike 2009 The Look 586 Frame is a HM Monobloc Carbon Frameset a single-shell frame with flowing and elegant lines. Look are a pioneer in the technology of single-shell carbon frames, Look engineers have designed the 586 frame for both aerodynamic and very lightweight without lowering the frame's overall rigidity. Owing to the E-POST R 32, the Look 586 frame is specifically designed for triathlons.

Look 496 Carbon Road Bike 2009

The Look 496 Tri is a spin off of the Look 496 Athens frame that was developed for the track. the weight and stiffness have been reduced. The axis of the seat post with a specific stem and an incline of 76° grant exceptional aerodynamics. The headset specific along with the frame integrated Monobloc head tube. For long distances . Triathletes looking for extreme aerodynamics and optimum stiffness will appreciate having a better posture during the ride in order to retain their strength.

Road Bicycles (racing cycles) are typically designed to be ridden on tarmac roads at high speed for this reason they are made from light weight materials such as carbon, titanium and aluminum to reduce the effort required for a rider to cycle up hills or mountains. Most Road bikes have multiple gears with a cassette of sprockets at the back wheel and often with a two or three ring sprocket at the drive chain. multi gear bikes are far more flexible depending on the incline of the road being ridden. Road cycles are generally fitted with thin wheels and tyres to reduce drag from the road and allow faster riding. Drop down handle bars are preferred for aerodynamic advantages when descending or sprinting. Road Bicyles differ greatly in price with the top end models such as those used by professional cyclist in pro cycle events such as the Tour de France and Giro d' Italia running into thousands. Reasonable and entry level Road bikes can be found at much more affordable prices in many Bike stores and online.
