The Lapierre Aircode DRS 7.0 from 2022 is a high-quality road bike that is in the upper mid-range with a price of EUR 5999. The frame and fork are made of Aircode DRS Disc thru axle UD Superlight Carbon, which gives the bike remarkable lightness and stiffness. These characteristics are particularly advantageous for racing cyclists who prioritise speed and efficiency.
The model is equipped with Shimano Ultegra Di2 gears, which are known for their precise and reliable electronic shifting performance. The 12-speed drivetrain offers a wide range of gear ratios, supported by the Shimano Ultegra Di2 RD-R8150A derailleur and the Shimano Ultegra CS-R8100 11-30T cassette. The crankset is also from the Ultegra series, with a gradation of 52-36T and varying crank arm lengths depending on the frame size.
The pedals are VP-335 Clips&Strap, which ensure a secure connection between shoe and pedal. The bottom bracket is a Shimano Press Fit SMBB7241B, which is known for its durability and smooth operation. The Lapierre Aero UD Carbon handlebars with carbon extensions offer aerodynamics and comfort, while the Lapierre Vexgel bar tape provides additional grip.
Another plus point of the Aircode DRS 7.0 is the wheelset: The New Lapierre Road Disc 50 wheels are made of carbon, tubeless-ready and equipped with centre lock, which contributes to improved braking performance. The Continental GP5000S tyres in size 700x25 offer excellent grip and rolling resistance.
The saddle, a Prologo Dimension T4.0, promises comfort on long rides, supported by the Lapierre Aero Carbon seatpost with 0mm offset. The Lapierre stem, with a tilt angle of -5.7° and different lengths depending on the frame size, ensures an optimum riding position.
All in all, the Lapierre Aircode DRS 7.0 is a well thought-out and high-performance road bike that is suitable for ambitious amateur riders and professionals alike. The combination of a high-quality carbon frame, first-class gearing and aerodynamic components makes it an attractive model for anyone who values speed and efficiency.
