16 November 2021 - Nevers, France: LOOK Cycle has today announced the latest addition to its range of track bikes - the all new 895 VITESSE, a full monobloc carbon frameset oriented toward ultimate aerodynamic efficiency.
Utilising LOOK’s carbon manufacturing expertise and drawing from a 30-year partnership with both professional track riders and the French National Cycling Federation, the frame encompasses the signature features of the French brand, harnessing cutting-edge innovation to deliver stiffness, aerodynamics and aesthetics.

LOOK has spent two decades at the forefront of frameset aerodynamic design and its history and reputation has long been attached to track cycling. From the KG296 PKV, the first track frame ridden to success in Atlanta 1996, to the medals won in Tokyo 2020 with the elite T20, LOOK has been at the cutting edge of performance for over 25 years. The 895 VITESSE frame is the latest to join LOOK's phenomenal track lineage.
The stiff and lightweight construction of the 895 VITESSE bottom bracket ensures power transfer is ultra-efficient. Borrowing the same forks used on the high-performance T20, along with the integrated and rotative Carbon Track Stem, means it can be adapted to any position and riding style.
The purposeful design continues through the oversized, carefully profiled tubes, wrapping around the rear wheel, reducing drag to an absolute minimum. The seat tube is fully integrated to further improve aero performance, with a dedicated, reversible saddle cradle that allows for custom fitting.

The 895 VITESSE is available in two colour options. The first is Côte d’Azur, a reference to the heritage of track racing and the flat strip of blue boards at the very inside of the velodrome. The second frame colour, Pro Team Black Mat, is the iconic LOOK colour scheme inspired by the graphics decorating the bikes of Olympic athletes. The Pro Team Black Mat colour is available across the range of track bikes, from the T20, 875 MADISON and the AL 464.
The 895 VITESSE frameset is perfectly complemented by the CORIMA WS1. Used by TEAM LOOK CRIT, these carbon wheels are a race-proven choice. The WS1 is available in sizes 32, 47 and 58mm.
