In 1986, Greg Lemond won the Tour de France on the first carbon frame by LOOK.<br />
Over 25 years on, our know-how has become a benchmark in professional circles<br />
- having fully mastered working with this material has enabled us to develop<br />
products of excellence - we identify with innovation: Every LOOK invests 11%<br />
of its turnover in research in order to continue offering innovative products to<br />
demanding athletes.<br />
CARBON INTEGRATION<br />
Its properties have won over the professionals<br />
very quickly – its elongation resistance,<br />
rigidity and incomparable lightness – carbon<br />
composites’ consistency over time have made<br />
them a material of choice for manufacturing<br />
LOOK frames.<br />
carbon is a flexible material – it is possible<br />
to adjust product characteristics by mixing<br />
different types of fibres, changing their<br />
orientation and quantity. Thorough knowledge<br />
of carbon enables LOOK to offer two levels of<br />
rigidity on its 695 frame.<br />

By LOOK<br />
This mastery of the manufacturing processes<br />
is apparent by the absence of subcontracting<br />
at LOOK. Keeping frame development<br />
and manufacturing under control means<br />
developing new manufacturing processes<br />
in order to speed up innovation. It also<br />
guarantees flawless products. LOOK has<br />
always imposed very strict quality control,<br />
pushing tests beyond current standards. All<br />
our products are inspected before, during and<br />
after production.<br />
The concept of component integration is<br />
one of aesthetics combined with technology<br />
aimed at optimising performance. After the<br />
powerful 695, and the all-terrain 920, this<br />
concept continues with the all new 675.<br />
LOOK approaches with holism, where form<br />
meets function.
