Look 586 RSP Road Frame '11 Black/Red

SUPER LIGHT CARBON COMPOSITION 130 G/M² FABRIC The know-how of LOOK in the field of competition frames takes its full extent in the making of a super light frame without compromising the global rigidity of the frame and thus its efficiency. Owing to the use of a carbon fabric 130 g/m², the 586 shows an excellent performance / price ratio. NEW RSP SEATPOST Owing to its new RSP carbon seatpost, the 586 gains in simplicity. It will delight those looking for a comfortable, versatile and easy to adjust bike. Owing to a saddle stem the section of which takes up the aerodynamic shape of the E post tube, the 586 is now equipped with a saddle stem that slides in the frame. The RSP keeps an important retraction setting (-15 to -35 mm) and benefits of a carbon composition that makes it comfortable. The saddle clamp is specific and notably allows not splitting the frame. It is composed of a double tightening: the first screw fixes the clamp to the frame and the second the stem to the clamp. LOOK HEAD FIT 2 HEADSET SYSTEM This LOOK patented headset design allows for headset and stem adjustment independent of each other. Headset adjustment is executed via a threaded insert that is installed on the HSC 6 fork’s special steerer tube. The result is having your headset correctly adjusted even when you need to adjust or swap your stem. This new LOOK technology saves 40 grams through the elimination of the compression plug. LOOK HSC6 FORK The 100% carbon single-piece monobloc fork weighs only 350g (uncut) and meets the NEW Standard EN 14781 Requirement (144 joule frontal impact). Using the same technology as the rear dropouts, the carbon dropouts are compressed at the same time the fork blades, crown and steerer are moulded. The integrated carbon conical bearing seat (45° race angle) allows for the direct fitment of the bearing, eliminating the need of an additional aluminum crown race. The HSC 6 is designed to be used with an 1-1/8’’ upper and 1-1/4’’ lower sealed bearing. The fork steerer tube is specifically shaped to be used with the new Head Fit headset sytem. SLEEK ONE-PIECE DESIGN LOOK proprietary technology makes it possible to manufacture single-piece monobloc frames that are attractive and very light. COMPRESSED FRAME DROPOUTS The rear dropouts are directly compressed at the time when both the seat and chain stays are moulded, resulting in a single-piece rear triangle. The frame is lighter while blending optimal stiffness.
