Just looking at it now. Will the 566 be affordable to people that work for a boss?

 

I like it that the 986 MTB uses a normal seatpost.

 

 

[Delgado]

I'm sure its not an issue if you mention the source mate??

Hi Mampara, The 566 will retail for around R21500 depending on the exchange rate. The 986 still has the integrated seatpost...it's the 996 that will use a normal post.

You might be right Delgado....here we go. Pictures - as found on www.cyclingnews.com

At last a company that is more honest about aerodynamics.

[Red Zone]

Dont quite understand the need for that bent toptube, but it does make the bike look agressive. like a crouching tiger

Agree - think these guys have opened a whole new can of worms!!! Really like these new offerings from LOOK - good job!!!

I think that it has a lot to do with creating space for water bottles to be easily removed from the downtube by the rider.

 

The headtube/toptube junction it quite beefy to add stiffness to the front end. But that comes at a price of lowering the top tube and restricting space for easy removal of the bottle from it's cage. The bent top tube gets around that nicely while adding a touch of aggression to the LOOK of the frame.

This 586 is 6.2kg....size medium...with pedals.

 

 

[Mr LOOK]

My Favorite, the 595 Team.

 

 

 

 

[Racer X]

I wonder when UCI is going to look at dropping their weight limit.

[Mr LOOK]

I personally don't think they will ...within the next few years anyway. There is far to many frame failures currently. 

[ewep]

Like the new TT frame.  The kink in the top tube looks great.

[GoLefty!!]

Yeah, I agree. Far too many frames fail too easily.

 

In fact they may increase it to 7.2Kg and stipulate a weight limit for the frame and fork. Well not a direct weight limit but impose a mandatory crash test that the frame and fork has too pass before it is competition licensed.

 

Just like they do for race cars and bikes.

The System6 would pass any test!!!  I, fatso 1, rides a System6, so it should carry any- and everything!!
