Because the rear brake has been moved, the seatstays have no bridge or caliper above the wheel, which avoids the turbulence they cause.Īnother new component is the Aerostem. This is also adjustable from 17mm to Firecrest width, with the use of washers. It weighs a claimed 130g and also has internal cabling that passes inside the bottom bracket shell.
The rear brake is mounted under the chainstays, and is a V model developed with TRP. Very clean lines on the fork edge, and tension adjustment access holes in the outer brake arm Claimed weights are 320g for the fork and 137g for the brake. The front brake cable routing is completely internal too, passing through the stem and steerer tube all the way to the brake. Said to improve braking by 20 percent, the design is also adjustable to work with rim widths up to Zipp’s Firecrest, and permits tension adjustment without any disassembly. In this window is housed the patented dual lever brake concept, which comprises twin brake arms – the outer remains flush with the fork leg, to preserve aerodynamics, and the independent inner operates the brake. The HSC7 fork has a vertical rectangular window, which Look believe prevents deformation under braking loads. The main feature of the new machine is its integrated brakes – Look are the first to have placed the front brake in the middle of the fork leg. Unlike many manufacturers, Look do their own carbon pre-preg preparation and development, allowing ultimate control of the finished product. They’ve developed an ultra-light, high-modulus 1.5k carbon for the bike, using a greater number of thinner layers to create lighter, stiffer structures with fibres oriented for optimum strength. They also worked with Dr René Hilhorst, who spent 17 years as a Formula 1 aerodynamicist.
Look 695 ipack for sale pro#
To develop the 695 Aerolight, Look combined knowledge gained from their Look 596 and L96 framesets, sponsored track riders, the Cofidis pro team, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and a wind tunnel.
