BIKE SIZE CHART
596 TRI frame key features:
Aerodynamic Frame (Wind Tunel Tested)
The New LOOK 596 was created for Triathlons where aerdynamics is crutial. The bike is ideal for the riders who seeks a position for speed. Aerodynamics is the Top Priority of the bike. Our engineers studied all angles and shape of the tubes in order to obtain the most aerodynamic bike on the market and tested in the wind tunnel at the Magny Cours Race Track in Nevers, France. Each tube of the frame is positioned to optimise the air flow between the rider and the bike together in MOTION. In collaboration with Look engineers and the aerodynamic engineers ar Magny Cours, Look improved the aerodynamic of the 596 by 10% more aero than the 496. Both were tested in the wind tunnel. Aerodynamics and rigidity is often difficult to have in one bike. Look was able to achieve this by integrating the bottom bracket with the downtube in one continuous shape
Monobloc Construction
The 596 was manufactured in a special way in order to obtain the stiffness and aerodynamic shape. The 596 consists of 3 Monoblocs: the front triangle integrated with seatpost and the 2 halfs of the rear triangle - left & right sides. This is a new concept: 2 wishbones and half of the seat & chainstays. The connection of the seat stays is also a new technique by using a flat surface to act as a carbon plate. This technique allows for a greater contact surface resulting in more durable & stiffer frame
Carbon Monobloc ZED Cranks
The Carbon ZED cranks are delivered with the 596 Tri. This is a true Monobloc crankset (2 crankarms and axle are FULL MONOBLOC). The crankarms alone (not including bearings and chainrings) weight only 320 grams! The ZED crankset use special oversized 65mm
bottom bracket. The CETrilobe technology enables the triathlete to choose the crankarm length 170, 172,5 and 175 mm without changing the actual crankarms. The ZED is also compatable with 110mm and 130mm chainrings.
Integrated Seatpost, E-Post R32
Offset Aerodynamic Monoblade Fork
The Offset LOOK Aero Fork has an important function as it is the part of the bike that penitrates the air first. The 596 fork was designed to act as a fairing. With a specific designed stem it adds a stiffer and responsive front end for steering precission
Carbon Indexed Stem
The carbon stem is composed of 2 carbon arms with aluminium collar. The stem is adjustable by rotating carbon arms and the height can be fine-tuned by the upper or lower inserts. There are 4 lengths available for the Triathlete to fine tune the cockpit
Analysis of resisting forces
When riding a bike cyclist must overcome several forces opposing forward movement. There is 4 main forces:

Integrated Seatpost, E-Post R32
- The E-Post R32 gives the Triathlete the Ideal Position. It is reversible so effectively the saddle can be positioned +/- 32mm from the seattube centre line.
- Easy angle adjustment - Easily accessible one bolt adjustment
- Vibrations dampening - 3 elastomer blocks are part of the seatpost. It results in more comfort - rider is isolated from road vibrations

Analysis of resisting forces
When riding a bike cyclist must overcome several forces opposing forward movement. There is 4 main forces:
- Rolling friction - resistance from contact of the tire with the surface + resistance on the wheel bearings
- Gravity - resistance due to the weight of bike and rider when cycling up the slope
- Aerodynamic resistance - resistance due to the airflow around rider and bike
- Mechanical friction - resistance from moving mechanical parts (chain, chainrings, cogs, BB bearings)
