Look gravel bike - a bike that is hard to beat for its versatility.

Look has been around since 1951, but only since 1983, when the company was sold to the Bernard Tapie Sport Group, has it become more and more specialized in the bicycle market. The experience of skiing was transferred to the bicycles and the result was the click pedals, which allow you to get off quickly and provide more safety in dicey situations and falls, because the legs can be brought quickly to the ground.

Bicycles for gravel use enjoy increasing popularity, since one is on the road almost like on a racing bike and also on gravel roads as well as forest roads has a good grip on loose ground. Since bicycles are also used more and more for traveling, the gravel bikes offer themselves for it, which possess apart from the straight characteristics mentioned also sufficient assembly possibilities for luggage carrier, bottle cage incl. bottle as well as bicycle bags and for journeys by muddy terrain or also with rain, can be attached besides still fenders. The carbon fiber technology and years of experience of Look have helped to develop a frameset that, in addition to a good stiffness, also the flexibility to the day, which you need for off-road rides, without that you immediately need a suspension fork. This allows the power to be directed optimally into the pedals, as shocks are sufficiently absorbed. The gravel specific processing has been transformed by Look into a proprietary formula for the Look 765 Gravel RS, which has taken the bike to the next level in terms of performance. From design, to development and even manufacturing, nothing has been left to chance with the carbon frame and Look's 30+ years of expertise has been relied upon throughout to bring such an exquisite bike to market.

The 3D Wave braces allow the bike even more flexibility to absorb vibrations. The bending points are recognizable by the 2 wave points, which also provide improved lateral stiffness. The 3D Wave seat stays on the rear stay allow you to maintain control of the bike even on bumpy surfaces and at higher speeds, without needing additional shocks and all without adding more weight.

It is immediately ready for all adventures and thanks to the 12 mounting points for the bottle cage you have a variety of options to attach this best possible according to your needs. As always, the golden rule applies, as in the rest of the stowage of luggage: the lower the weight sits, the more control you have over the bike, as this also lowers the center of gravity.

The Direct Drive concept stands for high stiffness and lightness, with an integrated stem made of aluminum. It is an extension of the frame design that seamlessly blends into the Direct Drive concept, combining optimal steering characteristics with good stiffness, without compromising on either of these criteria. In addition to an increased sense of safety, this is also reflected in the excellent performance during gravel tours.

Thanks to disc brakes and ample tire clearance, endless new worlds are made possible for the gravel bike, from all-road to cyclocross, and for the daily commute to work, it can easily be converted to narrower tires for use as a road bike replacement on the street. For off-road excursions, again, the mountain bike wheels are best used, with off-road tires up to 54 mm wide, for maximum traction control and more safety while riding.

The Look gravel bikes are available as Look 765 Gravel RS Black Chromatic Petrol Full Glossy, Look E-765 Gravel Dark Bronze Glossy, Look E-765 Gravel Full Black Reflect Glossy, Look 765 Gravel Green Mat, Look 765 Gravel BLACK GLOSSY MAT or also Look 765 Gravel RS BLACK RED GLOSSY, as well as Look 765 Gravel RS Black Chromatic and Look 765 Gravel RS Frameset. The bikes are available in frame sizes XS-S-M-L-XL.

With the Look 765 Gravel RS novelty, an extremely light and robust gravel bike from Look is available, with which completely new possibilities open up. So you can venture into forest sections, which are otherwise only advisable with a MTB, but which can master the 765 Gravel RS just as easily. Many times the choice is taken away from people here, whether you now need a MTB or road bike, because the 765 Gravel RS can do both.

In addition to the Look 765 Gravel or the Look E-765 Gravel, Look still offers road bikes, track bikes, triathlon bikes and city bikes for everyday use as well as e-bikes in various categories.

The components of the Look gravel bikes were selected specifically

In addition to well-known manufacturers such as Shimano, SRAM, FSA, Mavic or even Fulcrum, one trusts especially in the cockpit preferentially on the components from their own research laboratory, which can be optimally adapted to the respective frameset.

Derailleur groups & brakes

For the crank is used, among other things, the SRAM Rival Wide, FSA ALLOY 42 t (XS-S 170 mm / M-L -XL 175 mm) BCD 104, or the Shimano GRX 600 and at the bottom bracket, for example, the Fazua Isis Axle comes into play. Also in the chain is set to the SRAM Rival as well as the SRAM Force, Shimano HG 700 or even the Shimano HG 800 and the electronic SRAM Rival eTap AXS is used as well as the SRAM Force 1, Shimano GRX 600, Shimano GRX 810 or even the Shimano 105 shift lever. For the front derailleur, one also relies on the SRAM Rival eTap AXS, SRAM Force, Shimano GRX 800 or also the Shimano 105 series and for the rotor, among other things, the SRAM Centerlock F or also the Shimano RT is installed.

An electronic shifting group, such as the SRAM Rival eTap AXS, ensures a precise transition of the chain to the chainrings and the disc brakes, such as the Shimano RX 400 Disc Hydraulic Flat Mount, guarantee a smooth braking performance, even in wet conditions.

Saddle / Seatpost & Handlebar / Wheels

In the novelties all components for the cockpit come from the Look repertoire and for the saddle one uses among other things the Look by San Marco Short Fit Dynamic Narrow Open Fit and with the seatpost comes for example the Look LS2 Carbon to the effect. For handlebars and stem, for example, the Look LS2 Gravel handlebar or the Look LDS stem is used.

For the wheels, which are mostly from Shimano, such as the Shimano RX 570 Disc CL Tubeless, one uses, among other things, the Mavic Speed Release Ready thru axle and furthermore the Fulcrum Rapid Red 500 wheelset is also used. Regardless of the combination, the Hutchinson Touareg 700x40 mm Tubeless Ready is a popular choice.

Additional equipment

It is often said that there is no such thing as bad weather, and in fact it is mainly due to the right equipment. With the right jacket, for example, which you can find at www.lookcycle.com, you are protected from wind and rain without sweating too much. When it clears up, it can be folded up small and stowed in one of the bike bags, taking up very little space.
