2009 Look 596 Track - Hendy Sports

Product Description

AERODYNAMIC FRAME (WIND TUNNEL TESTED)
The New LOOK 596 was created for Races 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 often difficult to have in one bike.
Look was able to achieve this by integrating in one piece the bottom bracket with the downtube in one
continuous shape.

CONSTRUCTION MONOBLOC EN SOUS ENSEMBLES
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 seat post and the 2 halfs of the rear triangle,
left & right sides. This is a new concept with 2 wishbones a left and a right: left & right half of the seat
& chain stays. The junction 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 and therefore making it more durable
& stiffer where the parts are connected.

CARBON MONOBLOC ZED CRANKS
The Carbon ZED cranks is delivered with the 596. This is a true monobloc crankset (2 crankarms
+ axel = FULL MONOBLOC). The rigidity/weight ratio was difficult achieve until the arrival of
the ZED crankset. The crankarms alone (not including bearings and chainrings) only weights 320
grams ! The ZED crankset has a special shape to it that is mounted into a specific oversized 65mm
bottom bracket. The OETrilobé¹ technology enables the triathlete to choose the crankarm length
170, 172,5 à 175 mm without changing the actual crankarms. The ZED is also compatable with
110mm and 130mm bolt patterns to accomodate a compact or a standard setup.

The E-Post R32 Gives the Triathlete the Ideal Position See the E post R32 specs for more details.
The crankset is delivered with specific pair of pedals : KEO ZED (see KEO ZED chart in the «ACCESSORIES» part).

INTEGRATED SEATPOST, E POST R32 (See e post page)
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. The addition with a specific designed
indexed stem adds a stiffer and responsive front end for steering precission.

CARBON INDEXED STEM
The carbon stem is composed of 2 carbon arms aluminium collar. The stem is adjustable by
rotating carbon arms and the height can be fined tuned by the upper or lower inserts.
There are 4 lengths available for the Triathlete to fine tune the cockpit.
