Whether you race the local race or ride centuries on the weekend, the 2011Look 566 Ultegra does it all. Sure, it's got the lightness, efficiency and speed that LOOK is famous for, but the 566 sports a shortened top tube and taller head tube for a more upright, comfortable position that allows ride-all-day bliss. This is no comfort bike though. It's crafted from a blend of high-modulus, high-resistance carbon with a massive bottom bracket, a squared down tube for stomp-on-the-pedal jumps out of the pack, and led by a wonderful vibration-damping carbon fork, too. Look's twisted X Design chainstays continue both themes of responsiveness with vertical compliance. And, as you'd expect, this French flier boasts tasty components, too, such as Shimano's Ultegra group and Fulcrum's Racing 5 wheels for plenty of free speed.
• RESPONSIVE AND COMFORTABLE
The 566 frameset has been designed and fine tuned for responsiveness and a comfortable ride. This frame was developed for those cyclists who want to ride for several kilometers/miles at a fast pace to a leisurely pace. This bike is for cyclists looking for comfort and will do on occasional race or century.
• ‘’X DESIGN ’’ STAYS
The «X Design» stays were created to have both lateral stiffness for responsiveness and vertical compliance for comfort. The flatten tube was designed to create a virtual point of flex in the chain and seat stays.
- The top has the same flatten design in order to have flex and stiffness concept.
• NEW COMPACT GEOMETRY
566 has a compact geometry with a taller head tube than our standard geometry and a slightly shorter sloping top tube. As a result, we get an ideal position for the cyclists allowing to ride in comfort thus riding longer and faster.
• ULTRA LIGHT DESIGN - TWENTY YEARS ‘SAVOIR FAIRE’
LOOK’s twenty plus years of carbon technology allow us to manufacture a feather weight frame that is light without compromising the overall rigidity and ride performance. Some particular areas are oversized, stiff and light, like the bottom bracket and the main tube with a squared section
• LOOK 566 COMFORT CARBON DESIGN FORK
The 100% carbon single-piece fork weighs 350 g uncut and meets the new Standard EN 14781 safety test requirement (front impact of 144 joules). The shape of the fork is studied to increase comfort and the stability on the bike : the head of the fork is oversized stiffness and the section decrease when going down the legs to keep a good flexibility. The fork also utilizes the Look patented integrated conical carbon crown (45° bearing angle).
