14 reasons to buy

• LOOK offers the 785 Huez in two builds, both with Shimano Di2 groupsets: Ultegra R8100 on the Proteam Black and 105 R7100 on the Grey Blue.

• One expert applauds LOOK’s attention to detail and the high-quality frame finish.

• Reviewers praise the bike as an all-rounder, balancing the agility and precise handling of a race bike with the confidence-inspiring stability of an endurance bike. 

• An expert says the precise and reassuring handling encourages riders to relax, even on fast, technical descents.

• Two testers highlight the responsive ride thanks to the stiff frame, saying it reacts particularly well to out-of-the-saddle efforts on climbs.

• A tester appreciates the improved comfort and ease of use over the previous gen 785 Huez RS.

• The standard 27.2mm seatpost and non-integrated cockpit make this bike easier to service, adjust, travel with, and upgrade.

• The stock 25mm Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance tires offer a good balance of performance, grip, durability, and comfort, according to one expert.

• Experts say the move from press-fit to threaded bottom bracket simplifies maintenance and repairs and eliminates the creaks often associated with press-fit BBs.

• The T47 bottom bracket allows the frame to be more compliant while maintaining efficient power transmission, according to a reviewer.

• Braking and shifting are impeccable with the Ultegra Di2 groupset.

• The 11-34t cassette and 52/36t crankset provide ample gearing for massive climbs like the Alpe d’Huez. 

• The frame has clearance for 32mm tires, though the wheels are optimized for 25mm to 28mm.

• LOOK provides a lifetime warranty for its carbon fiber frames.
