The first impression of Look's new carbon racer "566" is that of a very elegant bike - not a matter of course for racing bikes with comfort geometry. The bold kink in the top tube skilfully conceals the long head tube in relation to the frame size. The contrast between the petite top tube and the large-volume down tube is also interesting and helps the chassis to achieve good riding stability. In terms of price, the French are targeting the upper middle class with the "566". The complete bike with Shimano 105 groupset costs 2,300 euros, with Ultegra SL groupset 2,700 euros.
