Look’s true essence does not only come out of their history and fabrication practices, but primarily out of the motivation and ambition to produce some of the most trend setting designs that only emphasize pure passion and pure speed. The 586 is their monocoque version of the 595, where weight is reduced and compliance is increased while not sacrificing rigidity, to create the ultimate all around ride.
The Look 586 features a few new and improved technolgies over the 595 while keeping the idealistic design and easthetic appeals of it. Some of these Technologies are the Look Head Fit System, the new Angle adjustable E-Post, and the new sleek monocoque construction.
Look HEAD Fit Headset
The new Look patented headset design allows for headset and stem adjustment independent of each other. Headset adjustment is executed via a threaded insert that is installed on the HSC 6 fork's special steerer tube. The result is having your headset correctly adjusted even when you need to adjust or swap your stem. The new headset system reduces the frame weight by 40g.
E-Post
The E- Posts true benefits are apparent at times and hidden at others. For starters the E-Post is not round which always aligns the frame with the seatpost for optimal positioning. The E-Post also uses interchangeable elastomer inserts which are designed to give each rider the option to which level they would like ride comfort. Different density (Black, Red, or Grey) elastomer blocks are included with each frame.
Manufacturing
Look's twenty plus years of carbon technology allows them to manufacture a feather weight frame that is light without compromising the overall rigidity and ride performance. The 586 weighs only 940g with an uncut seat tube.
The rear dropouts are directly compressed at the time when both the seat and chain stays are moulded, resulting in a single-piece rear triangle. The frame is lighter while blanding optimal stiffness.
Look's proprietary technology makes impossible to manufacture single-piece 'monobloc' frames that are attractive and light and combine them with one of the greatest forks in the world, the Look HSC6, and create the ultimate all around riding frame exceptional!!! The 100% carbon single-piece fork weighs only 340g uncut. Using the same technology as the rear dropouts, the carbon dropouts are compressed at the same time the fork blades, crown, and steerer are moulded. The integrated carbon conical bearing seat (45 degree rake) allows for the direct fitment of the bearing, eliminating the need of an additional aluminum crown race.
