DIVERSIFICATION LOOK is diversifying, reinventing itself and exploring new horizons: The brand is reconnecting with the heritage and spirit of the mountains to which it remains attached with a ready-to-wear collection for women and men. Innovative clothes, with echoes of yesteryear – the elegance of the sixties and the modernity of the eighties – the noble style of the materials and mineral shades set off by the colours of the legendary LOOK logo. LOOK is reinventing itself in the field of show jumping with acquisition in 2009 of FreeJump, inventors of the first automatic release stirrup. LOOK technology is being adapted to the field of the world leader in order to innovate and offer performance to the greatest horsemen and women in the world. LOOK has always wished to diversify its know-how towards new sporting horizons. Setting up a division for research into carbon 25 years ago has enabled the brand to gain greater in-depth knowledge of this material. With the same passion for sport, LOOK is currently developing new carbon-based products for demanding athletes: Tennis rackets, bows, walking sticks, badminton rackets and golf clubs.

LOOK revolutionized cycling by inventing the first clipless pedal in the early eighties. This French company is still at the forefront of this market today due to the fact that it offers high-quality products, the result of unique know-how and, as always, a focus towards innovation. The LOOK signature is the benchmark for technology in cycling today. Innovation across the board: From Kéo Power, the first power measurement pedal, to the S-Track, the MTB pedal boasting 3 patents. By providing options for all cyclists, LOOK is a must-have in the cycling world as the pedal that sets the standard.

«In 1985 it was my intention to start the Tour de France with the first LOOK automatic pedals, which I was involved in developing. As from the initial tests, I knew they could help me in the challenge I wanted to take up: securing my 5th Tour de France... I was not mistaken, since shortly after the entire peloton was won over. The automatic pedal has become widely available and essential to racing cyclists’ feet.»

SAFETY& INNOVATION

Pédales Kéo : la star française des pelotons Pourquoi la Kéo Blade est-elle la pédale la plus utilisée par les équipes Pro Tour ? Pour les mêmes raison que la gamme Kéo est plébiscitée par les cyclistes amateurs !

Quality

MADE IN FRANCE is LOOK’s commitment to quality - The story of a pedal designed and developed in our research department in Nevers (France). That is where it all started for LOOK and it is there, still today, that our pedals are assembled from French components. From design to quality tests, we are in control of all stages in order to guarantee an impeccable product for you.

Efficiency Kéo has stood out since 2005 as an effective technical concept – a wide platform surface for optimum power transfer, secure cleat engagement and release, comfort, lightweight, reliability of titanium and steel spindles – LOOK is the answer for demanding athletes.

08 09

Thomas Voeckler Tour de France 2012

When it was introduced in 1984, the first LOOK clipless pedal was seen by cyclists as the most reliable and innovative cycle component. True to this philosophy, we continue to innovate while looking after cyclist safety at all times.

FOR ALL LOOK is broadening the use of clipless pedals by considering including the novice cyclists, who will appreciate the simplicity of the Kéo Flex or the Kéo Easy pedals. All users, from beginners to competitors, will find a Kéo pedal to meet their requirements.

KÉO STANDARD FOR ROAD USE LOOK has always developed its own cleats in conjunction with its pedals. The Kéo Standard reduces the weight and bulk of the cleat/pedal assembly to a minimum and is compatible with all shoes on the market. Kéo cleats are the only cleats featuring position memory: You can retain your cleat adjustment very easily when you change them by leaving the position memory clip in place and clicking the new cleat again into the memorized position.

KÉO FIT FOR PRECISION CLEAT ADJUSTMENT Adjusting your cleats correctly is of prime importance in reducing the risk of tendinitis type injuries and in optimizing your pedaling efficiency. That is why LOOK has developed Kéo Fit, the first precision cleat adjustment system, which has been developed and patented by LOOK working jointly with Sherbrooke University in Canada. This test, to be performed at your LOOK retailer, will enable you to find your optimum cleat position and to specify which type of Kéo cleat is best suited to your pedaling action. Once the Kéo test has been completed, the Kéo cleat position memory will enable you to retain your adjustment until the next time you replace your cleats. You will find a list of Kéo Fit Center approved retail outlets on our website: www.lookcycle.com

KÉO POWER

WIRELESS

Each pedal senses the cyclist’s power and rate through the pedal spindle and transfers them to transmitters (fixed on the crank arm) which send them directly to the computer using wireless technology.

53% of power developed on the left 47% on the right

Photo : CS600X computer Also available with CS500 computer.

LOOK developed the first pedals capable of measuring pedaling cadence, a distinct measurement taken at the left and right hand spindles. Using technology by Polar (inventors of the heart rate monitor) the information is visible directly on the display. Kéo Power is an accurate and reliable product aimed at cyclists keen on improving their pedaling technique. 8 stress gauges per spindle permit force measurement with very high accuracy (<2%)

EASY

Accurate Measurement

The Keo Power permits very accurate measurement of the power and cadence. Each axle is equipped with 8 strain gauges permitting very accurate measurement of the axle deflection and so of the forces applied to it. The deviations in accuracy are less than 2%. The axle electronics are designed to measure forces up to 170kg, obviously the axle can support much larger forces. The cadence is measured using a reed relay placed in the axle of the pedal.

David Montcoutié Tour de France 2012

The Keo Power is very easy to install, is compatible with the majority of bicycles on the market, and is very easy to move from one bike to another, in contrast to systems that are found in the crankset or the hub. Calibration is done automatically when the system starts up.

The sensors measure the deformation of the pedal axle

Connectors at the end of the shaft send the data directly to the transmitter. The transmitter fits easily into the pedal, being held in place by a clamp collar.

Through the force and cadence measurement, the Keo Power is capable of giving the power. The information is then sent to the POLAR transmitter, which sends it wirelessly to the computer via the WIND® protocol. Scan and find all the videos on the KÉO POWER playlist on LOOK Cycle TV.

KÉO BLADE

COMPRESSED CARBON BLADE

Kéo Blade offers demanding cyclists precise engagement and release from the pedal. Free from springs, its unique carbon blade concept offers new sensations. A comfortable and efficient pedal that owes a great deal to its large platform surface. Kéo Blade is available with titanium or steel spindles.

The Kéo Blade concept is based on the compression of a carbon blade which replaces the spring. Result: a sensation of great firmness when starting to click out and the same force at the end. The other benefit of the blade is a substantial weight saving: the Kéo Blade Carbon in the titanium spindle version weighs just 95 g!

LOOK

BY LOOK In 1986, Greg Lemond won the Tour de France on the first carbon frame by LOOK. Over 25 years on, our know-how has become a benchmark in professional circles - having fully mastered working with this material has enabled us to develop products of excellence - we identify with innovation: Every LOOK invests 11% of its turnover in research in order to continue offering innovative products to demanding athletes.

CARBON

Its properties have won over the professionals very quickly – its elongation resistance, rigidity and incomparable lightness – carbon composites’ consistency over time have made them a material of choice for manufacturing LOOK frames. Carbon is a flexible material – it is possible to adjust product characteristics by mixing different types of fibres, changing their orientation and quantity. Thorough knowledge of carbon enables LOOK to offer two levels of rigidity on its 695 frame.

22 23

This mastery of the manufacturing processes is apparent by the absence of subcontracting at LOOK. Keeping frame development and manufacturing under control means developing new manufacturing processes in order to speed up innovation. It also guarantees flawless products. LOOK has always imposed very strict quality control, pushing tests beyond current standards. All our products are inspected before, during and after production.

INTEGRATION The concept of component integration is one of aesthetics combined with technology aimed at optimising performance. After the powerful 695, and the all-terrain 920, this concept continues with the all new 675. LOOK approaches with holism, where form meets function.

On a traditional stem, the height setting is done by adding spacers. Their accumulation lessens the lateral rigidity and moves the stem away from the headset, where the renewal of effort is located.

A single screw serves to adjust the height and to tighten the stem. The rigidity and handling are increased. For pedalling standing and for sprinting, the energy loss is lessened. The weight rigidity ratio of the C-Stem is one of the best on the market. Two flat sections on the pivot ensure the perfect positioning of the stem without having to do any settings. The pivot is delivered cut at the right height; it is no longer necessary to calculate the height of the cut. 3 1 2

that brings an exceptional performance. This unit runs inside an oversized crankset casing of 65 mm, an exclusive LOOK product. The star of the ZED 2 crankset is compatible with all double or compact chain wheels. The star is pierced to accept the 2 axel spaces of 110 and 130 mm. LOOK has developed its own patent to arrive at this attachment system inside the star. 695, 596 and L96 models are all fitted with ZED cranksets. On the road, in triathlon or on the track, its outstanding stiffness will enable you to develop your pedalling power.

The Continuous Fibre Design (CFD) concept was put in application for the design of the HSC 7 fork. We optimize the mechanical performance of the carbon fibre by reducing all the angular thresholds and variations. The effort in uniformly distributed over the whole fork. Since several years (HSC6) the tabs are moulded and compressed with the arms of the fork, which allows making the area lighter while reinforcing it. The conical pivot optimized by the CFD allows positioning the bearing directly on the fork’s head. A new standard bearing 11/2” comes to improve the uniform distribution of the effort. Thanks to its 100% single-piece design,

vibrations are absorbed by the elastomers, the hardness of which is interchangeable (black elastomer = hard, red = average and grey = flexible). It thus offers personalized settings adapted to the different types of roads, to the mileage and to the cyclist’s preferences.

CARBON FRAME

MONOBLOC MANUFACTURE The 675 is the latest born LOOK road frame. It benefits from a completely new manufacturing process: the 3 most highly loaded frame zones are first draped on mandrels before being placed inside the mould with the rest of the frame for moulding. This technology permits a large gain in stiffness and a stronger frame.

36 37

86,5 MM PRESS FIT

BOTTOM BRACKET The 675 adopts the Press Fit standard: the bearings are integrated into the frame for better finishes, which also protects them from contamination. The Press Fit standard seals the bearings better because they are inserted into polyamide cups that are than pressed into the frame. Consequently fitting the bottom bracket is eased and its durability increased. The other advantage is that the frame is wider at the crankset because it includes the bearings. As a result the lateral stiffness increases, guaranteeing better transmission of pedalling forces.

For the first time on a road bike, LOOK has completely integrated the stem into the frame design. As well as the aesthetic impact this integration allows us to apply our Direct Drive concept meaning optimising all the cockpit parameters. We achieve this by using a short head tube tapering from 1 ½ “ at the bottom to 1 1/8” at the top and removing the spacers. With this

AND FLEXIBILITY

The 675 is designed in a very sporting spirit whilst being comfortable.

Indexed stem Composed of 2 compressed carbon arms and an aluminium collar. It is adjustable by rotation of the carbon arms and offers two starting position options. The association between the fork and the stem provides excellent stiffness and precise steering.

Offset aero fork The fork was subject to the same aerodynamic design development as the rest of the frame. It plays a key role, because it is in effect the cycle’s leading edge. Seen from front-on, the frame is almost hidden by the fork.

TRI

576

The 576 is the triathlon frame in the 2013 range. It has a special geometry, with a tube angle of 78째, allowing the triathlete to take up a forward position which is both aerodynamic and comfortable for the upper body. It is extremely versatile, and will be in its element whether on hilly or flat courses.

RSP R5 The RSP R5 non-integrated carbon seat post gives the 576 added simplicity. Reversible, for a +/- 5 mm adjustment on the seat tube.

576 frame LOOK uses the best VHM carbon fibres to produce this frame. This ensures exceptional aerodynamic performance combined with extreme lightness: this is one of the only aerodynamic frames to weigh less than 1100 grammes, making it a very versatile frame.

576 Aero Fork The 576 fork was developed especially for the frame. Its profile, with its aerodynamic branch cross-sections, reduces turbulence to a minimum.

The kinematics of the 920 is of single-pivot type with tip over rocker. The main pivot point was precisely positioned to obtain the desired rear wheel path, the geometry and the position of the rocker were subject to long hours of work and of numerous tests to obtain the shock

Protections Once again, LOOK has not overlooked the protection of your MTB frame, the 920 has our moulded metallic protection in the diagonal tube, we have added a cable guide under the bottom bracket that acts as a “shoe” as well as an aluminium protection on the right base at plates level to prevent damaging the carbon in case of chain lifts.

absorption ratio curves and thus the desired path of the rear suspension, resulting in a high level of rigidity and an exemplary behaviour. Our experience in the use of carbon allowed us to continue further: we replaced the pivot point located on the stays by an accurately calculated flat section that allows us to do without rolling bearing, the stays bend when the suspension operates offering an unequalled level of reliability. We thus obtain more laterally rigid stays, which is easier and does not require more maintenance.

FRAME

All the components of the 920 Kit Carbon are made of carbon, from the single-piece front triangle to the asymmetric rear triangle, including its rocker and its seatpost, you thus fully profit of the performance level and lightness that our control of carbon procures.

IN ACTION To get involved is to work for the benefit of others. From its inception, we have been lending our support to associations and bodies to propel them towards new victories. LOOK has backed Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque, a medical charity, since 2003. This association which was set up by Patrice Roynette, enables underprivileged children suffering from heart defects to be operated on and saved. Numerous celebrities ride throughout the year on Les Vélos Du Cœur LOOK [LOOK heart bikes] and especially in the Tour de France in support of this charity. The brands stands shoulder to shoulder with athletes and encourages them in their quest to surpass themselves. LOOK is one of the few official suppliers to the French Cycling Federation that date back to its inception. It provides equipment for professional athletes as well as to the French elites who distinguish themselves in the various international championships and races. Our involvement transcends boundaries. Together with the Bikes For The World association, LOOK has enabled young cyclists in developing countries to practise their cycling. Over 400 frames have already been handed over in this way to mainly African teams. A land where a splendid passion for cycling is growing, Africa is serving up some wonderful surprises like Team Rwanda. A brave development that has also received support from LOOK.
