Look 596 i-Pack frameset, 2012 ~

The ultimate in speed!

The Look 596 was created for all time trialists and triathletes where aerodynamics are crucial. Tested at the wind tunnel at Magny Cours in Nevers, France, each tube of the 596 is positioned to optimize the air flow between the rider and bike together in MOTION. The 596 improves the aerodynamics of the legendary 496 by a whopping 10%! The Look engineers achieved this by integrating the bottom bracket and downtube in one continuous sweep. Additionally, the seat tube to rear tire position was finely tuned to prevent slowdown due to rear turbulence backup. The 596 is created with 3 separate monobloks: the front triangle is integrated with the seatpost and the 2 halves of the rear are mated together using a new flat-carbon plate surface for greater road contact and added stiffness. The specially designed offset monoblade carbon fork acts as a legal front end fairing! Includes vibration dampening Look R32 high modulus carbon seatpost with 3 elastomer blocks of different durometer levels and is reversible +/- 3.2 cm for a perfect Tri or time trial fit.    

"The ride of 596 is far beyond any other TT or Tri bike I've ridden, and I've tested them all. I was simply stunned. It's as secure and controlled as a great road bike and so fast it just makes you laugh. The 596 is a rocket ship on steroids!" - Kyle

Frameset and i-Pack includes the revolutionary carbon monobloc ZED II crankset. These crankarms weigh a mere 320 grams! And, they are adjustable to 170, 172.5, and 175 lengths via a patented pedal cam. Fits either regular 130mm or compact 110mm chainrings (not included).

576 Aero frameset ~

"Looking for the finest triathlon and TT frame available at a "real world" price, a frame that can tame the most serious triathlons and securely handle the most technical courses? The Look 576 is that frame."

Constructed by hand in true 1-piece Ultra-High Modulus carbon, Look has used their 20 years of carbon experience to create a feather-weight frame without compromising overall rigidity or ride performance. The 576 weighs a mere 1100 grams with uncut seat tube! A true monocoque frame, the rear dropouts are directly compressed into the frame when both the seat and chainstays are molded, resulting in a single-piece rear triangle. This provides a lighter and stiffer frame at the wheel transfer, where it counts most. A replaceable derailleur hanger means repairs are a snap. The patented new headset design allows for independent adjustment of the headset even when the stem is removed. And, it saves another 40 grams in weight because no compression plug is needed. The included seatpost uses elastomer blocks to dampen ride vibration while providing valuable aerodynamics. Three different sets of elastomers are included with each frame so you can customize your ride. Also includes a Look HSC-6 single-piece molded carbon fork that weighs a mere 350 grams yet still meets the New EN 14781 standard for impact strength. Limited availability in black.white or blue.white (see below). ..... $2499.99    Add to CART

The 576 includes carbon fork, headset, and a 360o reversible seatpost so riders can quickly and easily go from road to tri-position!

Important note: In 2012, the 576 will be offered as full bike only. It will not be available as a separate frameset. Grab a remaining frame while you can!
