The latest version has been optimised for performance-demanding riders taking on prolonged efforts in the mountains
NEVERS, France (April 23, 2024) — LOOK Cycle has announced the latest iteration of its popular 785 Huez road bike, designed for long rides in the mountains. Drawing on LOOK’s extensive carbon fiber expertise, the updated 785 Huez is meticulously crafted to meet the exacting standards of the most discerning climbers. It combines lightness, responsiveness and comfort seamlessly.
The 785 Huez incorporates Nano tubes in its latest carbon lay-up, a specific design reducing the tube’s inner thickness to save weight while preserving frame performance and solidity in key areas such as chainstays, headtube, and bottom bracket. Working in conjunction with the performance-focused frame geometry it provides riders with maximum power transfer when climbing out of the saddle, alongside an optimised position for comfort when seated.
The 785 Huez is a highly adaptable bike designed for long days in the saddle exploring iconic climbs. LOOK’s engineers chose high-modulus carbon fibres and thin rounded tubes constructed specifically for each frame size to offer an unbeatable stiffness-to-weight ratio and maximum power transfer while providing the right amount of comfort for longer rides. The integrated cockpit is ergonomically designed, while the frame allows for the increasingly popular 32mm tire clearance, offering riders versatility on rough roads and in mountainous weather conditions.
Adaptable, user-centric design
The 785 Huez is a bike that perfectly blends technological advancements with user convenience. The timeless and stylish design looks sleek and delivers exceptional performance on various terrains, enhancing the bike’s overall adaptability. Benefiting from a T47 bottom bracket, 27.2mm seat post, and through-axle wheels, the 785 Huez offers performance without overwhelming the user with unnecessary complexity. The integrated design not only simplifies the assembly and maintenance processes of the bike but also makes the switch-out of parts a hassle-free experience.
Romain Simon, Bike Products Manager at LOOK Cycle, says: “The latest version of the 785 Huez offers riders the best holistic performance for long days in the mountains and has been designed for explosive accelerations on any gradient, whilst offering cyclists an unparalleled riding experience for long days in the saddle. With its lightweight construction and cutting-edge carbon technology, we believe that the 785 Huez will enable passionate riders to reach personal goals when measuring themselves against the greatest ascents of the cycling world.”
