The 496 Track was developed for the Athens Olympic Games. The weight was reduced by 400 grames compared to its predecessor. The CX (air penetration coefficient) was also reduced. More than 100 hours are necessary to manufacture this totally hand-made frame. Look technology is sought after throughout the entire world. After France, other nations have called upon the Look savoir-faire.
Carbon
The 496 Track platform was developed to match the strict requirements of the world class athletes of the French Federation. Look impressively captures 12 medals during the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. The Ultra Max VHM Carbon tubeset is reserved specifically for the TT and Track framesets. Utilizing this very high tech blend and layup, Look can focus on building the utmost stiffness(zero flex) into the frame for speed and responsiveness.
The Bottom Bracket is the heart of the frame. In order to maximize pedaling efficiency, the 496 Tack is constructed using the monobloc process. A specifically shaped oversized rear triangle results in optimal responsiveness. The method of construction results in a perfect transmission of power between the bottom bracket and the wheel.
