LOOK is one of the most innovative companies in the cycling market, being the first to introduce clipless pedals to the peloton, and leading the way with carbon fibre frame design back in the ’80s. The LOOK 765 is the latest model in LOOK’s stable, with the emphasis on comfort over long distances while still retaining a sporty edge. The carbon frame includes linen fibres to help dampen vibrations, and the geometry ensures you are still going strong after many miles. Asymmetric chainstays balance out your pedalling forces, while a Shimano Ultegra groupset ensures every gear change will be crisp and precise.
On to the clothing. Santini has been one of the biggest names in cycling apparel since Pietro Santini first started designing and producing jerseys in 1965. Still based in Bergamo, Italy, the company now manufactures 3,000 items a day. The focus for Santini is to keep pushing the boundaries of technology to ensure its clothes are comfortable, stylish and effective whether you’re a pro or a weekender. It’s all part of the company’s philosophy: ‘Made in Italy, made with passion’.
