LOOK 695 SR i-Pack Premium Flag Edition Road Frame 2012

695 Flag Edition. Super Rigid You still have the option of adding your name or signature to make your bicycle really unique.

A 100% carbon single-piece frame a featherweight of 900 gr., including several worldwide innovations: the C-Stem and the ZED 2 crankset, the new HSC 7 fork and its Head Fit 3 headset. The E-Post seatpost is also included for more comfort.

LOOK applies the concept of Continuous Fibre Design (CFD) to optimise the output of the carbon fibres by making them work in the best direction. The shape of tubes is fluid and simple for optimum effectiveness.

• Warranty: frameset structural: 5 years, paint and finish: 1 year (non-transferable)

• 695 puts the CFD (Continuous Fibre Design) in application : the shape of the tubes is studied so that the carbon fibres work along the best axis, optimizing their mechanical performance.
• ZED 2 crankset, the frame’s nerve centre, is the culmination of 5 years of research, was tested by athletes and validated at the Beijing Olympics. It brings a new world record to the weight/rigidity performance.

To answer to the demands of all the competitors, the 695 is available in two versions:

• 695 SR (Super Rigid) will meet the expectations of racing cyclists looking for maximum transmission of their effort.
• 695 version brings some flexibility for racers looking for a bike with a more flexible and less demanding behaviour. This version will be more adapted to cyclists covering long distances.

COMPLETE INTEGRATION PACK
For optimal effort transmission, the 695 is equipped with the best crankset presently available on the market: the ZED 2 crankset.

To integrate it, the 695 has an oversized bottom bracket (Rolling bearings of 65 mm). 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 resistance to effort.

The new HSC 7 fork, the new Head Fit 3 headset, the C-stem and the E-Post are the other components integrated with the 695 frame. They were specifically developed for that frame, to make the 695 homogenous, rigid, lightweight, stable and easy to handle.

 

1. ZED 2 SINGLE-PIECE CARBON CRANKSET
The ZED 2 carbon crankset that comes with the 695 is a brand new highly innovative model: It is moulded in a single piece of carbon (2 pedal cranks + axis + star = FULL SINGLE-PIECE)
It reaches a rigidity / weight ratio that was not possible before. The crankset alone (with no roller bearing or chain wheel) but including the two pedal cranks and the axis only weigh 320 grams!
Its particular Z shape allows it to be mounted in the frame that has a specific and oversized casing (rolling bearings diameter 65 mm). The technology of the three-lobe insert at the end of pedal cranks allows adjusting the length of the cranks from 170, 172.5 to 175 mm without changing the crankset and while being compatible with all the pedals on the market.

 

2. C-STEM CARBON STEM
The C-STEM carbon stem is designed for the 695. It adopts its tube shape called "horizontal" so as to ensure efficient cohesion between the cycling station and the frame. Owing to a new patented tightening system this stem is slightly inclinable (from -9° to +13°). This avoids adding many spacers that lessen the bike’s lateral rigidity and the cycling precision. Finally its ultra-light carbon body and its titanium screw give the C-STEM great rigidity for a weight of only 160 grs.

 

3. NEW HEAD FIT 3 HEADSET
New LOOK patented headset dissociating headset adjustment, from stem tightening. The headset’s adjustment is done by tightening the carbon ring on an offset thread placed on the fork’s pivot. It is now possible to change the stem’s height without upsetting the headset’s adjustment. This solution suppresses the compression kit, replaced by a simple cap. Weight gain: 40 grs. 3rd generation of the Headfit is completely integrated in the head tube optimising even more the direction accuracy.

 

4. E-POST SEAT POST (E = ELASTOMER) WITH ADJUSTABLE HARDNESS

• Anti-rotation: not being round, the E-post is thus always aligned in the frame’s axis.
• Absorption of vibrations: thanks to elastomers (2 internal and 1 external).
• Three elastomers with different hardness are included.

 

 

5. COMPRESSED FRAME TABS
Directly compressed at the moulding of the base and stays. We thus obtain a single-piece rear unit: bases-stays-tabs: the best weight / reliability ratio.

 

6. HSC 7 FORK
The HSC 7 fork is 15% more rigid and 16% lighter than the HSC 6.
100% single-piece carbon, weighing only 295g and complying with standard EN 14781(Frontal shock of 144 joules). Moulded carbon tabs, compressed in the continuity of the fork. Tapered pivot using the CFD concept (Continuous Fibre Design) allowing the positioning of the rolling bearing directly on the fork’s head. Oversized ½ inch rolling bearings. The fork pivot contains 2 flat sections and is reinforced to receive the Head fit 3 headset.

 

7. NEW FOR 2012. ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL INTEGRATION
all the 695 frames are now assembly compatible with mechanical and electrical units. This is obtained owing to removable (mechanical) cable stops (LOOK Patent). Once the mechanical stops removed, an adaptation kit for electrical units is available separately (see data sheet)
