LOOK 795 Blade RS

For 2021, the Look 795 Blade RS looks the same, but has been constructed in a different way and using lighter grades of carbon

So the net result is a frame module 300gms lighter than its previous editions!!

Look have completely rethought their manufacturing process. The outer mould stays the same, but they've started using a more accurate EPS moulding technique that wraps the individual carbon piles over a hard polystyrene form before it goes into the main mould.

With this new process, Look produces a more consistent and smoother internal surface to the frame, with fewer imperfections, that means they need less extra material to achieve the desired strength and stiffness.

On top of that, Look has moved to a more premium mix of carbon fibres, doubling their use of hi-mod UD fibre and adding ultra hi-mod fibre for the first time. Using these higher grade lighter weight carbon fibres, means they get the same stiffness as before but with fewer layers of carbon, resulting in an all round lighter weight frame!
