2013 Look 566 Ultegra (Black/Red)

Season:2013

Brand:Look Bikes

Code:VARLB56602ZBlack/White/Re

Of the four road platforms that they manufacture, the Look 566 is designed to be their most comfortable and is aimed squarely at the leisure cyclist looking to ride for pleasure or who seeks to put the miles in during sportives or long weekend rides. As a first foray into longer distance cycling or as a move into carbon fibre bikes it is ideal given its light weight, relaxed position; the higher headtube, compact frame geometry and the kink in the top tube all grant a smooth ride. 

As with the 586, the Look 566 utilises the 'X-design' carbon stays, which are tapered halfway along their length in order to provide a point of flex. The width however is retained and the stay is flattened to provide a more compliant ride while ensuring that no lateral stiffness or weight reductions are lost. In fact the 566 frame weighs a mere 1100g which is superb for a bike at this price point. The unusual shape of the top tube is not an aesthetic design element, rather it is present to maximise on the comfort offered to the rider; like the X-design stays it is broad but flat and the kink offers another area for vibration to be absorbed while the use of a 27.2mm seatpost, as opposed to the E-Post employed on other Look models, further enhances rider comfort. All these features are not to the detriment of the bike's underlying performance; it is designed to be rigid in specific places to maximise on power transfer - for example at the bottom bracket area.

The fact that this and all other Look frames are designed and manufactured by hand in France is also worth noting. Look create this frame in a single piece so there is no loss of stiffness or strength in lugs. In 1986 Look were the very first bicycle manufacturer to integrate carbon fibre into frames using lugs moulded under incredible pressures to develop the stiffness to weight ratio. They have drawn on these years of experience to advance from making lugged frames to single piece units; the 'Multi Process Hot Moulding' manufacturing process allows them to create monocoque frames using the very high pressure moulding techniques used to great effect previously. Thus it is possible to shape the tubes to a greater degree, optimising stiffness, weight and comfort.

When we rode the Look 566 on a recent demo day we were very impressed indeed, as we were with the complete Look range. The 566 is a remarkably smooth riding road bike and Look have certainly deliverd on their promise. We were fortunate enough to be riding on roads that we knew well - some of which are very uneven and less than pleasant to ride on our race bikes. The 566 smoothed out the ride to such a degree that it took us a little while to work out what it was we liked so much about the ride, as if something was missing from the journey we usually took - it was the bumps!

With that said the bike didn't feel at all sluggish; No it isn't as reactive and edgy as the race bikes in the range but neither is it pretending to be. It will deliver thousands of comfortable miles whilst keeping you fresh but leaves enough of a playfulness in the ride for the lampost to lampost sprints with your friends and clubmates.

Fundamentally it will keep you smiling and enjoying the ride, it is a bike built for pleasure rather than palmares and it is masterful in its delivery.

The 2013 Look 566 comes in two builds. This version is equipped with Shimano Ultegra 10 speed componentry and mavic Aksium wheels, finishing kit is supplied by Deda Elementi. A seriously comfortable and highly versatile carbon mile muncher with a great deal of pedigee.

Bon journey!
