New Look 765 Optimum, an Endurance for everything
Look has presented its new 765 Optimum. The new creation of the French company is an Endurance with which they intend to seduce almost any cyclist. It is designed to reduce vibrations and achieve a more comfortable ride, it can mount tyres of up to 34 mm and the most economical set-up costs 3,790 euros.
Look 765 Optimum: technology as the path to comfort
The French manufacturer wanted the 765 Optimum to offer a great balance between comfort and performance, without compromising one over the other. To achieve this, Look has focused on two main aspects.
First of all, the materials. They have chosen carbon fibre for the frame to combine stiffness and absorption - although they don't give more details - and other materials that increase comfort.

Secondly, the stays have been designed with their 3D WAVE technology to improve lateral stiffness and make them 20% more comfortable than conventional ones by reducing more vibrations.
An Endurance for everyone
The listed weight for the frame of this 765 Optimum is 1400 g, we assume for a size M.
Other features highlighted by the brand is the internal cable routing, which enters through the lower part of the stem and handlebars.
But if there's one thing Look has aimed to do with its 765 Optimum, it's to satisfy almost anyone who wants to buy an Endurance. For example, it has room for tyres up to 34mm wide, which in principle is more than enough to cope with the roughness of broken and patchy tarmac and for riding on trails.
It has also been prepared so that mudguards can be fitted when weather conditions demand it, although they are only compatible with the Look's own mudguards.
Finally, unlike other brands that leave shorter or taller riders without options, in this case all models are available in five sizes: XS, S, M, L and XL.
In terms of geometry, it has a 582 mm stack and a 379 mm reach in size M. The head angle is 70.8º, the chainstays are 415 mm (the same in all sizes) and the top tube is 545.5 mm.
