Look795 Blade RS 3
The third generation of LOOK's 795 race bike, developed with and raced by Cofidis and launched just before the 2026 Tour de France. LOOK claims 15 W less drag than the previous 795 Blade RS at 50 km/h and 160 g less weight, with an 890 g frame and 340 g fork in size M. Every build gets the new Aero Carbon RS 3 bar on an Aero Carbon stem and an Aeropost 5 seatpost, chosen through a configurator with over 350 fit combinations. Tyre clearance is 34 mm, and frames are painted and assembled in Burgundy.

Our verdict
Overall
out of 100, average of 7 categories
LOOK's third 795 Blade is a sharp, stiff race bike with a light 890 g frame, a lifetime warranty and an unusually wide fit range from a configurator. The two-piece aero cockpit is easy to adjust, and the threaded BB, UDH and 34 mm tyre clearance make it easy to live with. No build comes with a power meter, though.

Aerodynamics
LOOK states that on a 31 km/h amateur Liège-Bastogne-Liège ride the new bike needs 7 W less than the previous generation for the same speed, and that it would have saved 2 min 27 s on stage 19 of the 2026 Tour de France.
SourceFit
Geometry from LOOK's product pages; LOOK's table also lists an 'HAV' figure (75.5 to 68 mm) that is not labelled clearly enough to map to a field. No stock stem length or bar width per size is published.
SourceRacing
On the UCI list of approved framesets since 20 January 2026 (sizes XXS to XL).
SourceHistory
Launched on 30 June 2026. Cofidis had raced it undercover for months beforehand, winning a stage of the Itzulia Basque Country. It replaces the second-generation 795 Blade RS launched at Eurobike in June 2023.
SourceVersions
Against the previous 795 Blade RS, LOOK lists a new UD UHM frame (110 g lighter), a new fork (50 g lighter), the Aero Carbon RS 3 bar and Aeropost 5 seatpost, a UDH frameset and 34 mm tyre clearance, while keeping the proven 795 geometry. LOOK says the bar keeps riders in the aero position four times longer than a standard bar.
