Inspired by Greg LeMond, the first Tour de France rider to win on a carbon bike, the 785 Huez RS is a new lightweight addition to Look's portfolio. Using Optimized Intertia Section technology to incorporate an optimal combination of round and square carbon tubing, the frame measures only 0.6mm thickness in places!

This might be the most boring-sounding cycling topic we've ever covered, but it's really NOT, and ...it's super important! That's right - today, we're talking about efficiency and what you can do to make yourself more efficient!
