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 />

CARBON FRAME<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 />
