BICYLE ROAD > LOOK 2012: Look 566

Delivery time: 2-4 weeks.

The 566 is the bike dedicated to comfort of the 2012 road range.

It was specially designed for cyclists looking for a highly versatile bike, and it is ideal for endurance tests. Yet the comfort is not at the detriment of performance: LOOK has the know-how allowing it to propose ultra-lightweight weight carbon frames without compromising the bike’s security and its performance. It is designed to be both rigid in strategic places (for example its crankset casing) while remaining comfortable.

New “sloping” geometry:
The 566 adopts a new geometry also designed to increase the sensation of comfort on the bike. The height of the head tube was reviewed upwards whereas the length of the frame remains in the standard values. This geometry thus allows a comfortable position while supporting without problem use in competition. The sloping is increased so as to allow an important saddle stem outlet which, associated to a saddle stem diameter of 27.2 mm, favours comfort on the bike.

Confort Carbon Design Fork:
The fork of the 566 is a 100% single-piece carbon part. Its shape is studied to increase the cyclist’s comfort and the riding stability.
The fork’s head is widened and presents a conical carbon bearing holder, allowing greater resistance of the fork and increased bike stability
The fork’s arms start from this oversized section and taper down to increase its capacity to absorb shocks.

”X design” stays:
The bases and stays are designed with a very flat section in their centre that increases their capacity to absorb vibrations. The flattening operates a bit like a “bending point” on the carbon tube.
At the same time as we increase the width of the tube, we increase the lateral rigidity of the whole rear of the frame. The upper tube also presents a flattened section that allows it to accept greater distortion on the vertical plane.
