Lapierre (France) - Press Release: The XR is the fastest and lightest cross-country bike that we have ever produced. It marks the return of Lapierre to the highest level in the cross-country universe. The frame has been lightened and completely redesigned around a new suspension kinematic, where the rear triangle has been stripped of the pivot point between the seat stays and the chain stays. The 100mm travel and the vertical flex of the seat stays assure the comfort and improve both grip and efficiency. A reactive bike comfortable on all terrain.

Key Features:

New kinematique:

The new XR has been stripped of the pivot point between the chain stays and the seat stays with the aim of lightening the rear triangle. The vertical flex of the seat stays improves both comfort and grip whilst rigidity is assured by the chain stays.

DT-Swiss X1900 Spline wheels:

The DT-Swiss X1900 wheels combine rigidity and durability. The 25mm wide aluminium rim offers modern tyres the necessary support to ride at low pressures therefore reducing rolling resistance.

Fox 32 SC Performance suspension fork:

This fork offers 100mm of travel and 3 compression control settings. Thanks to the handlebar remote you can easily lock out the fork when climbing to improve your energy transfer.
