Look has unveiled its new frame 695. Will be available in two versions: 695 SR (Super Rigid) and 695 (a less rigid, but more comfortable). The new frame brings the debut of a series of innovations like the new carbon crankset, the new lightweight fork, the new method of construction of the frame. The arrangement of carbon fibers is the second concept CFD (Continuous Fiber Design), which is to work the skins of carbon fiber in the best way possible in accordance with their best line of work. This concept has influenced the whole aesthetic of the frame, but allowed to make a frame lighter and stiffer than the last.

The new monocoque carbon fiber crankset weighs 320 grams and works with a bottom bracket with bearings from 65 mm in diameter and will be available in lengths of 170, 172.5 and 175 mm.

New stem also integrated carbon weight of 140 grams and available in 5 different lengths: 80-90mm / 90-100 mm / 100-110 mm / 110-120mm / 120-130mm. Has the ability to vary its inclination from -9° to +13° and its length of 10 mm, through appropriate thickness.

The seat is equipped with integrated elastomers that isolate vibrations from the seat frame. New fork HSC 7, which is stiffer by 15% and 16% lighter than HSC 6. Now weighs only 295 grams.

The official debut of the new model is expected in the Tour de France with the Cofidis team athletes.
