Look Road Bikes
We have a rare approach to selling bicycles at The Bike Café. Here, the purchase of a new bike begins with a fitting assessment, either on your existing bike or on one of our shop models. We do this so that we can analyze your body measurements, existing position, riding style, riding goals, and budget in order to determine the optimal frame size, component composition, and wheels. You will receive several bike build options to choose from. Once you select your build, we order your bike.
When we receive your bike, we meticulously inspect the bike and all the components. First, we inspect the frame's alignment on our surface plate. Once we know the frame is true, we inspect every component before we install it. On average, we spend 4 hours building a new bike, 6 hours if we are also building wheels as well. While we have the skill to rush a build, we prefer not to.
For new bike purchases, the fitting is included in the price of the bike. We encourage new cyclists to return 90 days after the purchase for follow-up adjustments; experienced cyclists can come in as needed.
Look 695 IPACK
LOOK is launching the brand new 695: a frame offering unequalled cycling precision thanks to the integration of the stem, the headset, the fork and an exceptional performance thanks to its 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.
To answer to the demands of all the competitors, the 695 is available in two versions:
- 695 SR (Super Rigid) will meet the expectations of racing cyclists looking for maximum transmission of their effort.
- 695 version brings some flexibility for racers looking for a bike with a more flexible and less demanding behaviour. This version will be more adapted to cyclists covering long distances.
For optimal effort transmission, the 695 is equipped with the best crankset presently available on the market : the ZED 2 crankset.
The ZED 2 carbon crankset that comes with the Look 695 is a brand new highly 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 technology of the three-lobe insert at the end of pedal cranks allows adjusting the length of the cranks from 170 to 172.5 to 175 mm, without changing the crankset and while being compatible with all pedals on the market.

Look 586 RSP
Single piece tuned Monocoque construction
The Look 586 RSP features Very High Modulus carbon frame. The know-how of LOOK in the field of competition frames takes its full extent in the making of a super light frame without compromising the global rigidity of the frame and thus its efficiency. Owing to the use of a carbon fabric 130 g/m². The rear dropouts are directly compressed at the time when both the seat and chain stays are moulded, resulting in a single-piece rear triangle. This frame is lighter while blending optimal stiffness.
New RSP Post for quick and easy seat adjustments
The 586's new RSP carbon saddle stem, will delight those looking for a comfortable, versatile and easy to adjust bike. The Look 586 is now equipped with a saddle stem that slides in the frame and keeps an important retraction setting (-15 to -35 mm) The saddle clamp is composed of a double tightening: the first screw fixes the clamp to the frame and the second the stem to the clamp.
This LOOK patented headset design allows for headset and stem adjustment independent of each other. Headset adjustment is executed via a threaded insert that is installed on the HSC 6 fork's special steerer tube. The result is having your headset correctly adjusted even when you need to adjust or swap your stem. This new LOOK technology saves 40 grams through the elimination of the compression plug.
HSC 6 Monobloc Fork, one piece top to bottom
The 100% carbon single-piece 'monobloc' fork weighs only 350g (uncut) and meets the NEW Standard EN 14781 Requirement (144 joule frontal impact). Using the same technology as the rear dropouts, the carbon dropouts are compressed at the same time the fork blades, crown and steerer are moulded. The integrated carbon conical bearing seat (45° race angle) allows for the direct fitment of the bearing, eliminating the need of an additional aluminum crown race. The HSC 6 is designed to be used with an 1-1/8" upper and 1-1/4" lower sealed bearing. The fork steerer tube is specifically shaped to be used with the new Head Fit headset sytem.
UltraLight design for sub 1000gram frame
Look 566 Ultegra
The Look 566 Ultegra has Shimano components. This frameset has been designed and fine tuned for responsiveness with a comfortable ride. A good choice for cyclists who are looking for comfort on long rides and performance for an occasional race.
The "X Design" stays were created to have both lateral stiffness for responsiveness and vertical compliance for comfort. The flatten tube was designed to create a virtual point of flex in the chain and seat stays.
566 has a compact geometry with a taller head tube than our standard geometry and a slightly shorter sloping top tube. As a result, we get an ideal position for riding longer and faster.
Frame weight 1100 grams in size Medium
Look 566 Rival
The Look 566 Rival has SRAM components. The frameset has been designed and fine tuned for responsiveness and a comfortable ride. This frame was developed for those cyclists who are looking for comfort and will do an occasional race or century.
Like the 566 Ultegra, the 566 Rival also has "X Design" stays, compact geometry and a frame weight of 1100 grams, in size Medium.
