Just like the C-Stem, the Aerostem is adjustable to enable precise adjustment of the handlebar height. This feature, combined with a more fluid design, means that this new stem has a better drag coefficient. The advantages are that the screw disappears behind the handlebar and the clamp is very thin. They make it possible to brake with just one finger while maintaining the power and progressiveness necessary for security and performance.Ī great deal of work has been done on the new Aerostem stem: this new carbon stem only weighs 160g, that's 20g lighter than the C-Stem and is also more aerodynamic, because the traditional cap has been replaced by a clamp. The integrated brakes are 20% more powerful than conventional brakes. The cable routing is also 100% integrated, going through the downtube and bottom bracket.
The rear brake is under the chain stay in order to keep it clear of the seat stays and eliminate the turbulence created by the caliper. The front brake sheath and cable follow a unique route: they go in, under, and through the stem before «diving» into the fork steerer and on to the calliper. This means that the caliper disappears completely into the fork to ensure the best possible aerodynamics. The mechanical V-Brake front brake is located in the middle of the fork arms, in a housing that forms a window. The 695 Aerolight has an unmatched level of brake integration. The 695 Aerolight has become the new benchmark for discerning cyclists looking for the perfect bike at the forefront of technology. The 695 Aerolight has also been made even lighter through the use of a new, thinner 1.5K carbon fabric. They were specifically developed for that frame, to make the 695 Aerolight homogenous, rigid, lightweight, stable and easy to handle. The new HSC 7 Aero fork, the Head Fit 3 headset, and the E-Post are the other components integrated with the 695 Aerolight frame. The diagonal tube, saddle tube and stays wrap around the casing and extend without a break in shape thanks to the CFD concept (Continuous Fibre Design) optimising lateral stiffness. To integrate it, the 695 Aerolight has an oversized bottom bracket (rolling bearings of 65 mm). We have sought to further improve the performance of the bike by working on its aerodynamics: to do this, on its new 695, Look has integrated brake calipers and a brand new aero stem, and has worked on the design of the tubes so that they provide better aerodynamic performance.įor optimal efficiency, the 695 Aerolight is equipped with the best crankset presently available on the market: the ZED 2 crankset. This extraordinary bike provides unparalleled performances thanks to levels of integration never seen before. Since its release, the 695 has become a true benchmark in the world of cycling. Claimed weights are 320g for the fork and 137g for the brake.Ħ95 Aerolight: Integration at its Highest Level
The brakes can take up to a 26.4 mm wide rim like the Zipp Firecrest. And they addressed concerns of rim width and maintenance concerns by saying that the width and tension of the brakes are adjustable without disassembly. Look claims an improvement of 20 percent braking power.
It not only gets tthe brakes out of the path of the air but it also improves the stiffness of the brake as it is supported from the front and the rear to minimize flex. The brakes are basically invisible in fork legs as part of the fork structure is the front brake itself. There are many aero innovations on this bike but the groundbreaking piece is is the integrated front brakes in the fork legs.
Look 695 ipack heritage full#
Look just announced their latest iteration of the Look 695 with a full aerodynamic makeover they call the the Look 695 Aerolight.
