New Look 795 Blade RS
This is one of the nicest looking 'new' bikes I've seen in several years. Will be very interested to see the reviews once they start coming in.

Like it a lot more than the last bikes they designed. Was so easy to just redesign the KG series... no they had to start doing weird sharp angles... this one in the picture I like a lot.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. Btw, tough crowd this morning. Over in the classifieds, folks are knocking Moots RSL and I take it Ultra don't think much of the 585. Is nothing sacred!

Beautiful!

My first intro with Look was a 595 Ultra. Loved it and wouldn't mind finding one again. Moved to a 695... amazing ride too! Later picked up a 2004 KX Light a really cool carbon frame with aluminum lugs. The carbon tubes have a diamond shape.

All of them ride wonderfully! I would jump at a chance to try one of these next.

matos velo
There is a well done review on the french site Matos Velo. Its in french but the english translation is pretty straight forward. There is also a discussion of the rim brake and disc versions at the launch party with lots of photos.

By all accounts, its a great bike at a decent price point.

Kinda reminds me of the current generation of Trek Madones
