Lapierre 2011 Bike Range
Lapierre have now released their brand new 2011 range of bikes and they are finally in stock in stores across the country for us all to marvel over, just in time for Christmas! And this year has definitely not failed or disappointed us with some amazing developments to the already superb range.
One of the most talked about Lapierre bikes is the Lapierre Sensium road bike which has undergone some major surgery to enhance its performance and look. It has Stolen technology used in the top end Xelius but combined it with the comfort factor to produce a truly exciting bike. The front end has been made with an undirectional, high modulus carbon fibre and the cables run internally meaning the front looks as slick and clean as the Xelius but also keeping it light. At the back sees longer chainstays to hold stability at speed slightly better than the Xelius does now. This model weighs in at around 7.8kg but with minor adjustments may get even lighter.
The Lapierre Zesty especially the 514 model has been another highlight of the range with its new fat tapered head tube and beautiful new white, gold and silver paint job. It weighs in at 12.2kg and is tipped to be one of the most versatile, weight efficient bikes available. It is fantastic value for money being suitable for road and cross country and extremely durable meaning you are investing in quality. This range includes the Zesty 914, 714, 514, 314 and 214 all with slightly different set ups. If you are looking for a brilliant all-rounder Zesty is the way forward for you.
Lapierre Spicy is another hugely popular range which hasnt had such a major face-lift but instead some minor adjustments to improve its overall quality. There was nothing wrong with last years model so why change anything?! However, the changes that have been made are certainly for the better. It has changed to a tapered head tube to counteract the crop of suspension forks as well as a new rear axle to make the frame feel stiffer. The top model, Lapierre Spicy 916, has a carbon fibre rear triangle and an aluminium main triangle to reduce its overall weight. There is also a move to double chainsets on particular models as well as lower rise but wider handlebars for a more comfortable ride.
So if you are looking for something for Christmas, why not start dropping the hints now so it can be ordered in time for Christmas!
