The unique frame shape in particular contributes to the high recognition value. The angle-adjustable stem is in line with the rising top tube. Look has also gone its own way with the one-piece carbon crank, which is convincingly easy to fit, light and stiff. It is not quite so easy to adjust the front brake integrated into the fork, as the cable runs through the steerer tube. Apart from slightly higher manual forces, the brake is convincing. In the wind tunnel, the 795 is in the good midfield (212 watts), with the Mavic wheels it is even slightly faster than with the Zipp 404. In terms of suspension comfort, the bike is one of the best. The slightly below-average riding stability does not cause any problems for experienced riders.
CONCLUSION Extravagant, individual, aerodynamically good, high suspension comfort. Riding stability just below average, expensive
