The Look E-Post seatmast design appears again, with coloured elastomer (three options) separating the frame and seatmast from the saddle clamp and offering some extra comfort – black is the hardest, red is average and grey is softest. Its independent adjustment allows the stem position to be altered without the headset being loosened. The Look Head Fit 3 headset has a 1 1/2in lower bearing that fits directly onto the Continuous Fibre Design (CFD) tapered steerer. It’s incredibly stiff and has unique triangular lobes within each crank, making it possible to alter the effective length to 170, 172.5 or 175mm. ![]() Like the C-Stem, the 160g (claimed) Aerostem is adjustable from –13 to +17 degrees for a precise fit, and comes in 80mm to 130mm lengths in 10mm increments.Įach 695 Aerolight build comes with Look’s one-piece, 320g Zed 2 carbon crankset. The Aerostem with the magnetic bolt cover removed With the magnetic cover removed, you can see the two 3mm bolts holding the handlebar via the thin steel clamp: with the magnetic cover removed, you can see the two 3mm bolts holding the handlebar via the thin steel clamp Robin Wilmott/Future Publishing A thin stainless steel clamp then envelops the bar and holds it with two 3mm bolts, hidden in a stem recess protected by a magnetised cover. Instead of a conventional bolted faceplate, the system uses a semicircular carbon cover – almost a shim – at the front of the bar. It has a similar square profile to the chunky C-Stem, but is slimmer with a cleaner frontal profile. This is also adjustable from 17mm to Firecrest width, with the use of washers. Because the rear brake has been moved, the seatstays have no bridge or calliper above the wheel, which avoids the turbulence they cause.Īnother new component is the Aerostem. 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. Look’s patented front aero brake has twin brake arms designed to maintain external aerodynamics at all times: look’s patented front aero brake has twin brake arms designed to maintain external aerodynamics at all times Robin Wilmott/Future Publishing 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.
