<\/a>Get low, stay low, ride faster.<\/p>\nLook 795 Blade RS: What\u2019s New?<\/p>\n
As with most road bike launches, LOOK has made some updates to the frame, resulting in a claimed weight reduction and improved aerodynamics. The brand states that it was able to shave 160g off the frame weight, bringing it down to just 890g (claimed, size M). When combined with the 340g weight of the RS 3 fork, that\u2019s a total frame weight of 1,230g. Complete builds reportedly start at 6.9 kg, which is quite competitive.<\/p>\n
Despite that light weight, they also claim that \u201cthe front end and bottom bracket are up to 10% stiffer than the World Tour average to maximize responsiveness.\u201d At the same time, they say they\u2019ve engineered the frame to be compliant and forgiving everywhere else, including the patented flexible seatstays, increased flexibility in the fork, and clearance for tires up to 34mm. All those elements are designed to work together to reduce feedback, improve comfort, and enhance rolling efficiency.<\/p>\n
LOOK says its development process also included CFD simulations, along with real-world and wind-tunnel testing to identify aerodynamic enhancements. Ultimately, they claim that the drag-reducing shapes of the RS 3 fork and updated frame tubes result in a 15-watt savings compared to its predecessor at 50 kph. At pro race speeds, LOOK says that equates to a 2-minute-27-second advantage on stage 19 of the 2026 TdF \u2014 Gap (Hautes-Alpes) \u2013 Le Bourg-D\u2019Oisans (Is\u00e8re)(128 km \u2013 D+3500m).<\/p>\n The unidirectional UHM carbon fiber frames are hand-painted, assembled, and quality-controlled by LOOK in Burgundy, France, and are covered by a lifetime warranty. <\/p>\n Optimizing the Rider Connection<\/p>\n According to LOOK, \u201cBecause the rider accounts or 75% of aerodynamic drag, perfect positioning is essential for speed.\u201d The 795 BladeRS 3 was developed with this in mind, considering both fit and component ergonomics as important factors in the bike\u2019s overall performance. The idea is to make the bike conform to the rider, and not the other way around. But to optimize fit for all riders is no easy task, and LOOK takes a multi-faceted approach.<\/p>\n Customizable Cockpit: Combines seven stem lengths (80 to 140 mm), three handlebar widths, and 0 to 50 mm of headset spacers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Aeropost 5 Seatpost: Features the new seatpost, available in two different offset options. <\/p>\n Universal Handling: Six dedicated sizes and geometries, paired with three fork offsets, ensure consistent handling characteristics for cyclists ranging from 155 cm to 200 cm (XXS to XL).<\/p>\n Geometry<\/p>\n Frame size is the first step in finding the right fit on any bike. LOOK is well aware of this and makes the 795 BladeRS 3 in six frame sizes, claimed to fit riders between 155 and 200 cm (5\u20191\u2033 to 6\u20196\u2033). At the same time, they say the same proven race-oriented geometry of the previous version carries over to the latest. It\u2019s clear that LOOK is confident in its geometry formula, and adaptations to fit and body position are up to the rider.<\/p>\n 350 Fit Combinations<\/p>\n LOOK says that through its Your LOOK a la Carte configurator, there are over 350 fit options available to riders to ensure a perfect setup. This customization is available to all customers, both directly through lookcycle.com<\/a> and LOOK\u2019s B2B partners. Beyond the frame size, customization of the cockpit components, which include LOOK\u2019s new Aero CarbonRS 3 Bars and Aeropost 5 seatpost, helps to optimize rider fit and body position.<\/p>\n Aero CarbonRS 3 Bars<\/p>\n LOOK says that with its new Aero CarbonRS 3, the perfect handlebar exists. Of course, it has been designed with an aerodynamic profile, including thin, wing-shaped bar tops, along with three primary hand positions \u2014 Breakaway (aero on the hoods), Sprint (in the drops), and Climb (on the bar tops).\u00a0<\/p>\n But LOOK says \u201cthe real magic lies in the design: it keeps you locked in the aero position four times longer than a standard bar, delivers unmatched power transfer in the drops, and positions your upper body ideally on the climbs by opening your shoulders and chest.\u201d If you think about it, the longer you can comfortably stay in an aero position, the faster you can ride.<\/p>\n That\u2019s combined with three bar widths: 380, 400, or 420mm, seven stem lengths: 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, or 140mm, and 0 to 50mm of stem spacers. With so many options, riders can truly optimize the cockpit setup \u2014 reach, stack, and width \u2014 to their exact specifications.<\/p>\n Aeropost 5<\/p>\n LOOK\u2019s new Aeropost 5 takes it a step further with two offset options. Riders can choose to run the post with or without offset. By reversing the orientation of the post, riders can dramatically alter their saddle position relative to the bottom bracket. According to LOOK, the differences are:<\/p>\n With offset: +42 to -8<\/p>\n Without offset: +15 to -35<\/p>\n LOOK 795 BladeRS 3: Key Specs<\/p>\n Frame: 890g (Size M, Pro Team Black, tolerance +\/- 5%), new UD UHM carbon, UDH compatible, lifetime warranty upon registration.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fork: 340g, available in three offsets, engineered for increased compliance.\u00a0<\/p>\n Complete Bike Weight: Starting from 6.9kg (Size M, without pedals).\u00a0<\/p>\n Aerodynamics: 15-watt saving for the complete bike-and-rider system compared to the previous 795 BladeRS at 50 kph (LOOK data); consistent aerodynamic gains from 0 to 15 degrees of yaw; 205 W estimated normalized aero drag (based on internal data using the Tour Magazin protocol).\u00a0<\/p>\n Power transfer: 10% stiffer than the World Tour average at the bottom bracket and front end; patented flexible seatstays; 34mm tire clearance (front and rear).\u00a0<\/p>\n Fit: Over 350 combinations; NEW Aero CarbonRS 3 handlebar (380\/400\/420 mm widths, compatible with the previous generation\u2019s 360\/440 mm); seven stem lengths (80 to 140 mm); 0 to 50 mm headset spacers; new Aeropost 5 seatpost with two offset options. Available through the Your LOOK \u00e0 la Carte configurator.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sizes: XXS to XL, featuring six dedicated geometries to fit riders from 155 cm to 200 cm.<\/p>\n Finishes: Silver Red, Pro Team Black, Iconic Prisme, Orange Shift. The Iconic Prisme Replica is limited to 50 units in the exact Team Cofidis Tour de France spec (Campagnolo Super Record wireless, Bora WTO 60 Ultra Team wheels, 7.1 kg).\u00a0<\/p>\n Groupset Options: Shimano Ultegra Di2 and Dura-Ace Di2; SRAM Force E1 AXS; Campagnolo Super Record 2\u00d713.\u00a0<\/p>\n Wheel Options: LOOK R45S, Mavic Comete 50, Fulcrum Speed 57, Scope Artech 6.A.<\/p>\n LOOK 795 BladeRS 3: Pricing and Availability<\/p>\n The 795 BladeRS3 is available in just a few complete builds, ranging from the most affordable Ultegra Di2 with LOOK R45S wheels at \u20ac8,490 \/ $9,700 up to the range-topping Campy Super Record with Scope Artech 6.A wheel for \u20ac13,190 \/ $15,290. Of course, with the Your LOOK a la Carte configurator, all of the complete builds are simply suggestions, and you\u2019ve got Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo groups, along with four wheelsets to choose from.\u00a0<\/p>\n For those looking to go the full custom route, the 795 BladeRS 3 is also available as a frameset in all four finishes for \u20ac4,990, or \u20ac5,780 including the full LOOK cockpit.<\/p>\n<\/a>The 795 BladeRS 3\u2019s frame has updated tube shapes that reportedly save 15 watts at 50 kph.<\/p>\n<\/a>LOOK recognizes that all of our bodies, fit, and comfort preferences are different, and aims to improve the relationship between riders and the 795 BladeRS 3.<\/p>\n<\/a>LOOK carried over the proven race-oriented geometry from the previous 795 Blade RS.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Loads of adjustability in LOOK\u2019s new Aero CarbonRS 3 bars.<\/p>\n<\/a>This Cofidis rider has his seatpost set in the forward \u201cwithout offset\u201d position.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
