Look 566 Carbon Road Bike – our Tour de France Tour Bike

The Look 566 carbon road bike is an option on all Discover France Tour offers, but we do sell out, so book early!  The bikes are high performance best used on our challenging tours for longer distances and climbing the big mountains of our Cycling Classics challenge tours. These bikes do not carry panniers or handle bar bags and therefore not practical on most of the vacation tour offers. We turn these bikes over every year, none is more than 1 year old. Of note: the 566 is an entry level yet high quality carbon frame bike. From the Look website, you can read about the high quality carbon used in this model as well as the geometry and design features. The frame weighs in at 1100 grams and the carbon fork is another 350 grams! Total 1450 grams or 1.45kg (about 3 lbs!) The geometry as described by Look offers a taller head tube and shorter sloping top tube – a compact design to allow for more comfort for going longer and faster. We have all sizes: S, M, L, XL for people comfortably from 1m60 (5′-3″) up to 1m93 (about 6′-4″) See The Look website for more info.
