675<br />
TECHNOLOGy<br />
Competitive riders have been the first to benefit from it. Today the benefits of<br />
integration are affordable for all with the 675. Here technology is directed towards<br />
comfort and pleasure, never forgetting efficiency.<br />

MANUFACTURE<br />
The 675 is the latest born LOOK road<br />
frame. It benefits from a completely new<br />
manufacturing process: the 3 most highly<br />
loaded frame zones are first draped on<br />
mandrels before being placed inside the<br />
mould with the rest of the frame for moulding.<br />
This technology permits a large gain in<br />
stiffness and a stronger frame.<br />
INTEGRATED<br />
For the first time on a road bike, LOOK has<br />
completely integrated the stem into the frame<br />
design. As well as the aesthetic impact this<br />
integration allows us to apply our direct drive<br />
concept meaning optimising all the cockpit<br />
parameters.<br />
We achieve this by using a short head tube<br />
tapering from 1 ½ “ at the bottom to 1 1/8”<br />
at the top and removing the spacers. With this<br />
The 675 is designed in a very sporting spirit<br />
whilst being comfortable. The geometry takes<br />
this double objective into account and, for<br />
example, adopts a fairly high head tube to<br />
favour comfortable positions.<br />
The fork dampens vibrations, the bases and<br />
stays adopt a carbon composition and a<br />
shape ensuring a 25 % difference in lateral<br />
and vertical stiffness. This is the secondgeneration<br />

shorter pivot, oversized bearings and a stiffer<br />
stem, the whole cockpit is stiffer and more<br />
accurate. The A-Stem permits very accurate<br />
height and length adjustments without having<br />
to add spacers.<br />

flattening the tube sections without reducing<br />
their diameter. The lateral rigidity is improved,<br />
also improving the vertical flexibility.<br />
STANDARD<br />
The 675 adopts the Press Fit standard: the<br />
bearings are integrated into the frame for<br />
better finishes, which also protects them<br />
from contamination.<br />
The Press Fit standard seals the bearings<br />
better because they are inserted into<br />
polyamide cups that are than pressed into<br />
the frame. consequently fitting the bottom<br />
bracket is eased and its durability increased.<br />
The other advantage is that the frame is<br />
wider at the crankset because it includes<br />
the bearings. As a result the lateral stiffness<br />
increases, guaranteeing better transmission<br />
of pedalling forces.<br />
DI2 AND EPS COMPATIBLE<br />
INTEGRATED<br />
CABLE<br />
The 675 has integrated cable passages<br />
in the down tube and in the right base and<br />
removable cable stops (LOOK patent). By<br />
changing these stops, mechanical groupsets<br />
can be mounted as easily as the Shimano<br />
(dI2) or campagnolo (EPS) electric groupsets.<br />
