Look 795 Blade RS | Team Cofidis 2025 Pro Bike

[@gcntech]

What do you think of the bike? Let us know 👇

[@adadinthelifeofacyclist]

A quiet freewheel means a rider in front can't hear that you're on his/her wheel - useful in races and it probably has less drag. For training, casual and commuter riding a noisy freewheel is safer. Campag is beautiful. I suspect we pronounce the French brand name "Look" incorrectly. Idk but I reckon the French would pronounce the "oo", so it would be more like "Luke" (possible translation "Time is money" or "Time bikes are too expensive" 🤣🤣)

[@pantani9886]

WELL DONE CAMPAGNOLO FOR COMING BACK!!! A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK, WE HAD THE UAE TEAM, AND WERE WINNING THE TOUR DE FRANCE, ETC ON COLNAGO'S, THEN UAE DECIDED TO GO WITH SHIMA(NO!)...WHY, WHY, WHY??? IT WAS GREAT SHUTTING UP ALL THOSE SHIMA(NO!) IDIOT'S WHO USED TO SAY CAMPAGNOLO WERE BACKWARD, AND HAD POOR PERFORMANCE (LOL!). BOTH MY TOP-END, CUSTOM=BUILD ROAD BIKES ARE CAMPAGNOLO 12-SPEED SUPER RECORD EPS/WTO WHEELS!!! MY BIANCHI SPECIALISSIMA, AND MY PANTANI REPLICA ARE BOTH A RIM BRAKE, AND THE COLNAGO IS A DISC MODEL!

[@cptjeff1]

I think if Campy's new concept is to sell their groupsets as bike jewelry, they probably shouldn't look exactly like nearly every other groupset on the market. All black is the default now and has been for what, more than a decade? If you release an all black groupset, it's meh, not bling. Also, white bar tape is awesome, and getting scuffed up a bit doesn't change my mind on that one bit. But the seat needs to be white to match.

[@ramonsanabria1472]

Very Hot ! 🎉

[@mathewrose2951]

I know that the Mondrian livery is a "thing" for Look, but this is a case of the bike making the paint look good instead of the other way around. As far as wanting one . . . you had me at Super Record. Now somebody just needs to create aftermarket thumbshifters that work with this groupset like "blips"

[@afuel4sport]

In my mind the best frame and groupset for the 2025 season so far, your right Connor the paint job is perfect, I'm really happy Campy is back in the pro peleton.

[@bitgeist21]

I love how straight that top tube is!!

[@nagasako7]

I like how straight French LOOK is. I don't like curvy and "aero" look of Italian makers.

[@boimratono9209]

Agree 💯

[@Se7enFive]

yes!

[@robertnobles8189]

I like how horizontal it is also. It does appear a bit high though. Could the head tube be shorter and keep the horizontal top tube??

[@jorjoebank8620]

Also Cannondale is very close to this one

[@MatteoAgosti]

That rear wheel is still spinning... Campag wheels are incredible

[@hungerknochen]

Hands down the coolest bike in the peloton. LOOK AND CAMPAGNOLO!!!

[@TobiMcTobeface]

first hub sound check that's actually good. I hate an unnecessary obnoxiously loud freehub. well done Campag

[@H457ur]

Yeah, their hub sound is the best. I have the Bora and the Levante wheels and they are nice and quiet. Makes me happy.

[@jsfoster100]

It feels just right, straightforward design, and the Campy rig is perfect. Nice

[@LifeCycle1978]

Bike looks great but that Campy groupset is hideous and heavy.

[@Raymond-Farts]

Far from it jsfosterboy.

[@emilvaradi9393]

Just right? LOOK is legendary and looks awesome, but riders complained that it's heavy. Campa also seems to be problematic. It seems it cannot convince and even less fund teams to use it's groupset. Anyway, be what may bee, we will see how this bike will fare in this season.

[@jsfoster100]

As for these comments: I had a bike store before Shimano added bike gear to their fishing line in the 70s. I know their approach. As for these comments ‘LOOK 795Blade’ on topic, I know they tend to be heavy, but there were no specs..I was saying that it looks very nice, it is the best LOOK color scheme I have ever seen, the Campagnolo 12 speed is what I ride since it was introduced. It is hands down the best system ever. It’s a good choice for a good bike. A good bike has foremost good geometry, weight is secondary. Keep riding.

[@malcolmjcullen]

My new favourite team bike. Look is always a step above, but adding the Campy takes it to the next level.

[@peterfreeman3317]

Campy tales any bike to the next level!

[@SombraPiloto]

I've been riding a Campy Chorus-equipped Cervelo R3 since it was introduced in 2005(?) and absolutely love it. Especially the thumb shifters!!! I broke down and bought a new Cervelo with a 105 groupset about 2 and a half years ago but i've ridden it maybe 5 times since then because I just love my old Team CSC R3 so much. I'd happily be Campy for life if there were more options on the market.

[@JIMMYHIBBS1]

Proper bike - lovely top tube and Campag ….. hope Campag can get itself back in the game …. It needs to make a silver Groupset, there are people crying out for a bit of old skool bike romance

[@Raymond-Farts]

The folks at Campag are too stupid to bring themselves back.

[@jamesupton6325]

I love a silver groupset but what I actually think is more important (looks wise) is how the crankset looks. The current Campag is very boring and unoriginal imo... the older style crank was far more beautiful.

[@Raymond-Farts]

@@jamesupton6325 Amen to that.

[@johnandrews3568]

Campagnolo rules! Great to see them back in the pro peloton. FWIW I'm Canadian and I've been front brake right as long as I can remember. Was riding motorbikes in my youth and set up my bicycle like this to avoid confusion at a critical brake point.

[@santiagobenites]

I came straight into road cycling from motocross, but I didn't bother changing my lever setup to match the motocross bike. I felt that the cable routing made more sense leaving the front brake on the left side.

[@JoshFosterBikesAndEngineering]

Loving that Campag are back, shame they’re not with UAE or AG2R anymore, but great that they’re striking it hot with Look and Confidis! Imo Campag is too often brushed with “it’s so expensive”, just puts people off from exploring real benefits like the positive shift feel, the ergonomics of the hoods, the serviceability and long standing product support for legacy parts. The wheels are just nuts as well, super fast rolling, just the right amount of free hub sound, really comfy over rougher ground, and tubeless out the box. You really get a lot of background stuff with it that’s not talked about enough.

[@MildStallion1]

Finally a freehub that doesn't sound like a beehive.

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

I find loud freehub is better for safety. Lets pedestrians know you're coming.

[@SF-jx6it]

Never understood modern cyclist’s obsession with noisy free hubs! After all if your car had a really noisy transmission you wouldn’t be happy…..!!!

[@MildStallion1]

@@SF-jx6it Totally. Any other loud noise and there'd be a video on how to eliminate it.

Cadex hubs sound like a Porsche GT3RS and I love them.

Looks incredible. I love the retro vibe from the combination of Mondrian pattern and Campagnolo wheel/groupset.

[@guiazevedoleite]

[@kovar2344]

I like the new Campagnolo wheels because they have the star spoke pattern on both wheels. Fulcrum too. Looks rather nice imo.

[@cd0u50c9]

Usually I'd say there's only so many iterations of what a bike could look like, but this is actually awesome - subtle, simple and effective. Campagnolo always helps. Beauty.

[@GoSeaKayak]

Great to see Campagnolo back, we need more teams to use them!

The three best of the best on a bike are...LOOK frame. Campagnolo groupset and Mavic wheels. 2 out of 3 isn't bad. Really pleased to see Campy back in the peloton.

[@DicconHill]

Is it an age thing? I 100% agree with you.

[@jawa350rs7]

Oh yes, there are no wheels here Mavic then it would be a perfect combination

[@TimCastor-p5j]

Great to see campy is back

[@Chiller11]

It’s kind of nice that someone is still using Campagnolo. It is such a storied brand. Granted some components may be manufactured in Romania (or Taiwan or even China) but they still have a factory in Vicenza.

[@miroslavcmiko9266]

for me the prettiest bike in pro peloton

[@YenchingTsai]

Whew... what a beautiful combination of look and campy.

[@patrickst.1525]

Fantastic bike! Only the price is more unrealistic 😱 Years I’m riding only Campagnolo… I’m happy to see them again in the peloton!

[@MichaelWilliams-iv6dj]

Definitely a classy looking ride and I particularly like the super clean 2-piece bar.

[@abksh1011]

finally, campagnolo back on tours. is the front brake on the right because you guys drive left in UK? here is Deutschland, the front brakes are configured to the left and we are used to that.

[@rudolphpyatt4833]

Same thing here in the USA. I raised an eyebrow when Conor said that.

[@gregmuon]

@@rudolphpyatt4833 Yeah it is. 60+ years ago, the rear brake was considered the more important and often only brake, therefore right hand rear brake became standardized.

[@slighter]

Correct, in continental Europe we have the front brake on the left, whereas the British have it on the right, just like on motor bikes.

[@Servicevelo]

There can be no doubt. That is easily the best looking modern race bike……..in the world. Traditional, clean lines. Perfection.

[@karlj711]

good to see Campy back in the mix. Fingers crossed they get back in the game & get back up to speed with SRAM/Shimano. I love my mechanical Campy 11 & 12 speed groupsets, By far the best at the time.

[@michealofloinn2539]

Look it’s a Look👍 nice to see them back again

[@toddh4491]

Love that Mondrian paint style of this Look bike - and Campy too (even though I can't afford it)

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Campagnolo Chorus is still cheaper than Shimano Dura Ace and Sram Red or even Force. Material and craftsmanship is better than most of Dura Ace and everything Sram makes, either. So you should give it a go on your next bike.

Very weird to see this bike built with the SR EPS crankset. All of the press news articles showed the bike built with the full SR WRL group, including the crankset.

I expect that they didn’t have rings ready for the WRL in that size. They HAVE now released them for the S version so equally surprised that they would resort to that especially on a press use bike. Here we are back with some bits.

Amazing looking bike, although I'd go for Super Record EPS myself. Mechs less bulky, no need to charge mutiple batteries, and the wires are internally routed anyway.

I went from Shimano 105 to Campy H11 Record and i really only miss the smoothness of the rear down shifting.
