THE BIKE WITH PASSION

If Bernard Hinault and Bernard Tapie have a passion in common, it is the rage to win. Bernard Hinault, now working as director of promotion and development for Look, is bringing his competitive spirit and winning attitude combining with Look’s technology to bring you the most advanced cycling products available today.
1988 : the competition frame, a spinoff from airspace technology, possesses unmatched performance. Carbon and Kevlar® composite fibers whose rigidity, and lightness can now be found not only in frames but also in our revolutionary crank arms and Look competition pedal system.
The improved exclusive Look pedal range is going to be expanded this year, by a “special touring bike” model.
Performance, expanded comfort, safety… from competition to leisure-time activities, the whole Look team strives to have you share its passion for the bike.

COMPOSITE MATERIALS, A VISA FOR THE YEAR 2000

Carbon fiber, already widely utilized in such a variety of areas as sailing, tennis racquets, airspace, “Formule 1″ car racing or ski boots, supplies everyday evidence as to their undeniable superiority.
These fibers, endowed with exceptional rigidity and strength features, permit significantly lightening the materials with which they are being combined.
In the cycling field, Look further optimizes carbon fiber performances by combining them with Kevlar®, aramid fibers whose major characteristic is its absorption of vibrations.
On Look frames, the Carbon-Kevlar® association thus permitted a 30 % weight improvement in comparison with the lightest of higt-performance steels, while increasing strength by 30 %. Look decided to apply carbon fiber technology to its pedal crank arms and to its new competition pedal system.

LOOK PEDAL CRANK
Once again, Look exploits the qualities of composite materials.
One an equal performance basis, lighter than the lightest competitor’s product, thanks to carbon fibers.
A pedal crank of exemplary rigidity and strength.

LOOK CARBON-KEVLAR® FRAMES

Look Carbon-Kevlar® frames are subjected on the test bench to very stringent, flection as well as torsion, fatigue tests. After 500,000 test cycles with a 180 kg load on each pedal, a Carbon-Kevlar® frame maintains all its characteristics. All the tubes, including the bases and the top bars, are built of braided carbon fibers reinforced with Kevlar®.
In addition, the fiber direction angles have been calculated in function of the mechanical stresses recorded on each

PROVEN IN COMPETITION

LOOK SYSTEM – PEDALING

REFERENCE SYSTEM

The Look System (pedal + shoe) designed, developed and perfected in close cooperation with Bernard Hinault and awarded two innovation oscars, is a breakthrough in cycling. The Look System, a not only simple, but a system that optimizes the shoe-pedal relationship by ensuring the integral transmission of the supplied effort, the shoe remaining perfectly locked with the pedal offers convenience and performance unequaled by our competition (break-off resistance greater than 440 lbs).

The Look System, just as easy to put on as to take off. In case of incident, no problem : to take the foot out immediately, simply turn the foot outward. In case of a fall, the foot becomes automatically unlocked, thereby reducing the risks of traumatisms or of bone fractures.
This year, the Look System “Competition” is fitted with a “Carbon” lever for 88. Thus, the assembly is lighter and possesses improved rigidity.
The Look System, in its “Cyclo-tourism” version, features a new shoe concept. Fitted with non projecting wedges, provides the touring bicyclist with a comfortable walk and when he is back on his bike, he can again benefit from the Look System features. The Look System, reliable, comfortable and efficient has proven itself with glory in sporting events with Bernard Hinault and his team.
