Lapierre XR 529 (2014)

Launched in 2013, this race oriented XC bike is remarkable for its innovative clean lines, its light weight and it‘s do-anything character. This frame, specifically developed for 29’’ wheels by Lapierre engineers, has a geometry for competition, a simplified structure and mono-pivot suspension design for stiffness and weight control. An ultra-performance light-weight bike, with unbeatable traction, the XR is also incredibly at ease in descent thanks to the combination of its rear shock and large wheels, and the low position that gives confidence to the rider. The lack of articulation between seatstays and chainstays is compensated by the “flex” in the carbon rear triangle. The specially developed Fox shock offers 100 mm of travel. All bikes are available with e:i shock and are equipped with a 1 x 11 or 2 x 10 drivetrain. It’ll take you far… and fast!
