look bike gravel Look G85 Cezal GRX Bike

The Look G85 Cezal GRX is built on the same carbon platform that LOOK developed for its higher-spec Cezal builds — the same frame inspired by the Cezallier plateau in France's Massif Central, the same LOOK carbon construction, the same T47 threaded bottom bracket, internal cable routing, and integrated downtube storage. What changes is the drivetrain and wheel spec, and the result is a gravel bike that puts LOOK's frame engineering within reach of a broader range of riders without a compromise in the chassis.

The carbon frame and fork carry everything that makes the G85 Cezal distinctive as a platform. Internal cable routing keeps the front end clean, and LOOK's integrated downtube compartment — sealed with a waterproof pouch — provides storage for tools and essentials that stays secure and out of sight. The T47 bottom bracket shell brings threaded reliability to the interface that gravel riding stresses most: contamination, frequent wet exposure, and regular maintenance intervals. The frame accepts tires up to 50mm, and in this 1x configuration that full clearance is available — the double-ring Di2 build is limited to 45mm where the single-ring setup is not. The frame is also designed to accept a suspension fork with up to 60mm of travel, extending the terrain range without requiring a geometry compromise.

Geometry runs the same numbers as the rest of the G85 Cezal range. Head tube angles open from 69.5° in the XS and S to 70.5° in the XL, with 425mm chainstays consistent throughout. The 74° seat tube angle positions the rider over the pedals across all five sizes. Stack spans 547mm to 638mm, reach from 360mm to 400mm. The Look LS3 alloy seatpost at 27.2mm diameter and Look LS3 stem are the proprietary cockpit components; the handlebar is a Deda SuperZero Gravel alloy bar.

Drivetrain and Components

Shimano GRX RX820 handles shifting and braking throughout — derailleur, crankset, levers, and hydraulic disc calipers all from the same gravel-specific groupset. The 40T single chainring pairs with a Shimano M7100 10-45T 12-speed cassette, a range that covers sustained climbing on loaded routes and fast riding on open terrain without the complexity of a front derailleur. Mechanical shifting means straightforward field adjustment and no battery management. Wheels are Fulcrum Lite GR 2WF — alloy gravel-specific clinchers built for two-way fit, meaning they're tubeless-ready. Schwalbe G-One Performance tires in 700x45 come mounted stock, a capable mixed-terrain choice that handles well on loose and hard-packed surfaces. The saddle is a Look/San Marco Shortfit Offroad.

Design Benefits

1. LOOK carbon frame and fork — the G85 Cezal platform built from LOOK's carbon expertise, the same architecture used across the full Cezal lineup.
2. Full 50mm tire clearance — the 1x single-ring drivetrain allows the full frame clearance to be used, vs 45mm on the double-ring Di2 configuration.
3. Integrated waterproof storage — sealed downtube compartment keeps tools and nutrition accessible on long routes without external bags.
4. Shimano GRX RX820 1x12 mechanical — gravel-specific groupset with a 40T/10-45 combination covering the full terrain range; no front derailleur to tune or adjust in the field.
5. Fulcrum Lite GR 2WF wheels — alloy tubeless-ready gravel wheelset built for two-way fit, compatible with tubeless setups without a rim swap.
6. T47 bottom bracket — threaded shell for long-term reliability in the conditions gravel riding creates: mud, water, and frequent service intervals.
7. Suspension fork compatible — frame accepts forks up to 60mm travel without altering geometry, extending the range of terrain this bike can handle.

The G85 Cezal GRX is available in Petrol/White in sizes XS through XL. It suits riders who want LOOK's carbon gravel platform with a clean, mechanically simple 1x drivetrain — and who prefer to put budget into the frame rather than electronic shifting. The G85 Cezal GRX delivers the same integrated storage, the same tire clearance, and the same carbon chassis that LOOK built the Cezal name on, at a price that makes it accessible without stepping down to a lesser frame.
