First up, the cables now enter the frame via a rotating piece that is part of the headset. This should relieve any tension in the headset due to stiffness of the cable housing, according to LOOK, and improve steering precision as a result.

On top of that, the front brake cable no longer passes through the stem, making it possible to change the stem without needing to disconnect the caliper. Meanwhile, the rear brake cable passes through the downtube and exits just ahead of the the bottom bracket via a trapdoor, meaning it’s no longer necessary to remove the BB during assembly.

Finally, if you run a Shimano Di2 groupset, the junction box is still fitted in the frame just behind the stem, but now the junction box clips directly onto the underside of the cover, so all Di2 functions are accessible from the external face – you no longer need to remove the cover (same goes for charging the junction box, too).

According to LOOK, the 795 Aerolight RS offers an 11.7 per cent aerodynamic gain over the French firm’s 695 race bike. That apparently represents a one minute, 14 second gain on a 100km ride on a track.

Pricing for the LOOK 795 Aerolight RS frameset has been set at £5,000, while the 795 Light RS will set you back £4,350. Both include LOOK’s Aerostem. The 795 Light RS will also be available in a SRAM Red eTap build for £8,999.
