The wind, that natural element that challenges cyclists and pushes them to their limits. Fighting, fighting, and fighting again against this invisible force that slows you down, reduces your speed, and breaks your spirit. But when this wind is tamed, it leads to new peak performances. It is this DNA that the new Xelius DRS perfectly embodies. This bicycle—a combination of the Xelius SL and Aircode DRS—doesn't play with the wind, but faces it head-on, challenges it, and gets the best out of it.
The wind tunnel figures are clear: aerodynamics are 15% better than its predecessors. Expressed in watts, the outstanding performance is confirmed with savings of up to 15 watts at high speeds on flat terrain. And in the race? A new speed rocket that helped Cassandre Beaugrand to victory at the Olympic Games. And will continue to push the performance of every individual to the limit in the future!
With the radical decision to combine the best of two bikes that have won numerous professional victories, Lapierre's engineers have made an important choice. However, this bike is not just about speed: its sleek lines and simple design offer a whole new perspective. The completely redesigned 3D tubular technology frees up the entire seat tube, allowing it to deform along its entire length. The result is significantly improved comfort that subtly complements the dynamic geometry of the rear triangle.
