Description:
A race bike starts with the frame.
The third-generation 795 Blade RS is for riders who want to choose every part of the finished machine. Start with LOOK's aero race chassis, then specify the drivetrain, wheels, cockpit and fit around the way you ride.
No complete-bike compromises. No parts to remove on day one. Just the right foundation for a serious custom build.
Choose the chassis. Choose everything else.
A frameset makes sense when the finished bike needs to be specific: the exact gear ratios, the wheel depth you prefer, the bars that fit your shoulders, and a cockpit you can hold in the wind for hours. The 795 Blade 3 RS gives the build a clear starting point: aerodynamic efficiency without abandoning low weight or precise race handling.
LOOK publishes a reference weight of 890 g for the frame and 350 g for the fork. The frame-and-fork reference is listed separately as 1,230 g. Those are manufacturer figures, not the weight of a boxed frameset or a finished bicycle.
Four finishes. One race platform.
Each finish is available in six sizes, from XXS through XL. The images below are the four official color selections shown on LOOK's frameset product page.
Product imagery is sourced from LOOK's official frameset page. Actual appearance can vary with lighting and display settings.
Less drag. More of your effort on the road.
LOOK reports a 15-watt aerodynamic improvement for the 795 Blade 3 RS compared with its predecessor. That figure comes from LOOK's own development and testing; it is not a universal saving at every speed, position or wheel setup.
For a custom build, the useful point is broader: frame shape, cockpit position and rider fit need to work together. The fastest-looking component is not always the fastest component for the rider using it.
Fit is part of the performance.
LOOK describes more than 350 fit combinations across its configuration system. The platform supports three handlebar widths, seven stem lengths, 0-50 mm of stack adjustment and two seatpost offsets. The stem is not supplied with the frameset, so cockpit selection should be part of the build conversation, not an afterthought.
Choose your front end
Start with reach, bar width, drop and stem length. The goal is a position you can maintain, not a showroom measurement.
Build around your terrain
The 34 mm published tire maximum allows a fast road setup with more tire volume than a traditional narrow racing configuration.
Specify parts once
Build with the drivetrain, wheelset, power meter and finishing kit you actually want. Verify compatibility before components are ordered.
Frameset versus a complete 795 Blade 3 RS
Both approaches start with the same 795 Blade 3 RS design. The difference is who makes the component decisions.
| Decision | Frameset | Complete bike |
|---|---|---|
| Frame platform | 795 Blade 3 RS aero carbon chassis | 795 Blade 3 RS chassis |
| Drivetrain | Chosen separately for your build | Specified by the complete-bike configuration |
| Wheels and tires | Chosen separately, within frame compatibility | Included as specified in the complete-bike build |
| Cockpit | Stem not included; fit and cockpit chosen separately | Supplied according to the complete-bike configuration |
| Best for | Riders with exact component and fit preferences | Riders who want a ready-to-ride, pre-specified package |

Manufacturer geometry source: LOOK 795 Blade 3 RS frameset. LOOK uses a 682 mm reference wheel diameter in its geometry chart. Size guidance is approximate; a professional fit should determine the final choice.
Designed with racing in mind. Finished in France.
LOOK developed and tested the 795 Blade 3 RS alongside Team Cofidis. The brand says the frame is painted, assembled and quality-controlled at its Burgundy facility, and advertises a lifetime warranty subject to the applicable conditions.
The appeal of a frameset like this is not a single spec. It is the chance to build a road bike whose frame, fit and components all have a reason to be there.
Questions before you build
Is this a complete bicycle?
No. This is the 795 Blade 3 RS frameset, intended as the starting point for a custom road-racing build. Drivetrain, wheels, cockpit and other components must be specified separately.
Is the stem included?
No. LOOK explicitly lists the Aero Carbon Stem as not included. Stem length and bar configuration should be selected during fitting.
Does the frameset include a seatpost?
LOOK specifies the AEROPOST 5 seatpost for this platform, but the public specification does not explicitly itemize every supplied part. Brimstone can confirm the exact package contents before an order is placed.
What is the maximum tire width?
LOOK states a maximum tire width of 34 mm. Actual measured width varies with tire and rim combination; confirm clearance on the final wheel-and-tire setup.
How much does the frame weigh?
LOOK publishes a reference painted-frame weight of 890 g, fork weight of 350 g, and frame-plus-fork weight of 1,230 g. Those published figures are rounded and are not the shipping weight of the boxed frameset.
Which bottom bracket standard does it use?
T47 Wide. Bottom bracket and crank compatibility should be checked against the specific groupset selected for your custom build.
What changed compared with the previous 795 Blade RS?
LOOK claims a 15 W aerodynamic improvement over the preceding generation under its testing protocol. The 3 RS also emphasizes expanded fit adjustment and integrated rider positioning. The improvement is a manufacturer test claim, not a guaranteed saving for every rider.
Can Brimstone help design the complete build?
Yes. We can discuss size, fit, drivetrain, wheels, cockpit dimensions, tire selection and assembly before parts are ordered. The frameset price does not include the additional components or build labor.
Does LOOK provide a lifetime warranty?
LOOK advertises a lifetime warranty for the platform, subject to its registration requirements, terms and exclusions. Warranty eligibility should be checked before purchase.
