The
LOOK 496’s technological merits have not gone unnoticed. Over the past few
years, we’ve seen more and more competitors try to
duplicate our proprietary features. Some say it can
be a form of flattery. As the descendant from our
legendary track frames, the 496 has been built for
pure speed. Ideal for flat to rolling windy courses,
this frame excels in places like
Hawaii, South
Africa, France, and Australia: some of the most
demanding Ironman distance courses in the world.
These are places where we have seen impressive
exploits by the likes of Luke Bell, Patrick Vernay,
Laurent Jalabert, Luc Van Lierde, and Thomas
Hellriegel. From the often copied LOOK
Monoblade fork through the extremely beef mainframe
and rear end, the 496 maintains one of the narrowest
frontal profiles as well as the most efficient rear
triangles in the industry. Our unconventional rear
triangle wheel gap goes against common belief, but
our aerodynamics testing has proven that our design
is superior.
Overall, the 496 remains one of the most efficient
frames on the market. |
