LOOK launchs a new era in high performance in the 695: a frame offering
unequalled cycling precision thanks to the integration of the stem, the headset,
the fork and an exceptional accelleration with the ZED crankset.
The 695 puts the CFD (Continuous Fibre Design) in application :
the shape
of the tubes is studied so that the carbon fibres work along the best axis, optimizing
their mechanical performance. The ZED 2 crankset, the frame’s nerve centre, is the culmination of 5 years of
research and tests with our athletes at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It brings a
new world record in the weight/rigidity ratio.
To answer to the demands of all the hard core racer and enthusiast, the 695
is available in two versions:
695 version SR (Super Rigid) will meet the expectations of racing cyclists looking
for maximum power transmission in each pedal stroke.
695 version brings some flexibility for competitors a little more comfort
without sacrificing the rigidity and responsivenes.
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE INTEGRATED
For optimal power transmission, the 695 is equipped
with the best crankset presently available on the
market : the ZED 2 crankset.
The 695 has an oversized bottom bracket casing (65
mm cartridge sealed bearings). The downtube tube,
seat tube and chain stays wrap continuously around the
casing and extends without a break in shape. We name
this the CFD concept (Continuous Fibre Design) that
optimizes resistance to effort.
The new HSC 7 fork, the new Head Fit 3 headset,
the C-stem and the E-Post are the other components
integrated into the 695 frame. They were specifically
developed for that frame, to make the 695
homogenous, rigid, lightweight, stable and easy to
handle.
ZED 2 SINGLE-PIECE CARBON Crankset
The ZED 2 carbon crankset is equipped on the 695, a
brand new innovative model :
It is moulded in a single piece of carbon (2 pedal
cranks + axis + star = FULL SINGLE-PIECE).
It reaches a rigidity / weight ratio that was not
possible before.. The crankset alone (with no bearings or chain rings) but
including the two pedals and the axles only 320
grams ! Its particular Z shape allows it to be mounted in the
frame that has a specific and oversized BB (65 mm
cartridge sealed bearings). The technology of the three-lobe insert at the end of pedal cranks
allows adjustments the length of the cranks from 170, 172.5 to 175
mm without changing the crankset and compatible with all the
pedals on the market.
C-STEM CARBON STEM
The C-STEM carbon stem is designed sprcifically for the 695.
It adopts its tube shape called “horizontal” so as to ensure
efficient cohesion between the steering and the frame. A new patented tightening system
allows the stem to be slightly inclined
(from -9° to +13°).
This avoids adding
several spacers that decreases the bike’s
lateral rigidity and the handling.
A moon shaped part to position in back or in
front of the handlebar allows varying its position
by 10 mm.
The ultra-light carbon body and the titanium screw
give the C-STEM greater rigidity, and weighs only
140 grams.
The C-STEM is available in 5 sizes :
80-90mm / 90-100 mm / 100-110 mm /
110-120mm / 120-130mm
NEW HEAD FIT 3 HEADSET
LOOK patented headset dissociating adjustment, from stem
tightening.
The headset’s adjustment is done by tightening the carbon ring on an
offset thread placed on the fork’s pivot. It is now possible to change
the stem’s height without the need to readjust the headset.
This eleminates the use of a compression kit, replaced by a simple cap.
Weight gain: 40 grams.
Oversized ½ inch sealed cartridge bearings. The fork pivot contains 2 flat
sections and is reinforced for the Head fit 3 headset.
E-POST Seat post
The patented and integrated Look E Post system have real
advantages, which go far beyond torsional rigidity and aesthetics.
The advantages are related to the improvement of comfort.
The E-Post is insulated from the frame by elastomers (hence its
name : E for Elastomer), which helps dampen vibration. It allows
each user to use personalized settings for greater comfort.
The E-Post allows a height adjustment of three additional
centimetres. It is able to adapt to multiple lengths of pedal cranks
and saddle heigths.
Aesthetically very pure, since no external clamps are necessary to
fix the saddle stem, the E-Post is by far the best integrated seat post
system on the market.
COMPRESSED FRAME DROPOUTS
Directly compressed at the moulding of the seat and chain stays. We
obtained a single-piece rear unit: wishbone-stays-tabs that has the
best weight / reliability ratio.
HSC 7 FORK
The HSC 7 fork is 15% more rigid and 16% lighter than the HSC 6. 100%
single-piece carbon, weighs only 295 grams and complying with
safety standard EN 14781(Frontal shock of 144 joules).
Moulded carbon tabs, compressed in the continuity of the fork. Tapered
pivot using the CFD concept (Continuous Fibre Design) allowing the
positioning of the sealed cartridge bearing directly on the fork’s head.
Oversized ½ inch sealed cartridge bearings. The fork pivot contains 2 flat
sections and is reinforced for the Head fit 3 headset.
