Lapierre AIRCODE DRS 7.0 - C2

The "AIRCODE DRS 7.0 - C2" model from the Lapierre brand from 2024 presents itself as a high-performance road bike that is characterised by its high-quality equipment and innovative design. With a price of EUR 5999, it is positioned in the upper segment of the market and is aimed at discerning cyclists who value quality and performance.

The frame of the bike is made of Aircode DRS Disc Thru axle UD Superlight Carbon, which ensures high stability and low weight at the same time. The permissible total weight is 110 kg, which is appropriate for a racing bike in this class. The brakes are equipped with the Shimano Ultegra Disc system, which offers a disc size of 160/140 mm and provides reliable braking power. The gears are also from the Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8150 series and offer 12 gears, which can be changed quickly and precisely thanks to the electronic front derailleur.

The rigid fork complements the frame and contributes to the aerodynamic efficiency of the bike. The VP-335 pedals with clips and strap offer a secure grip and efficient power transmission. The bottom bracket is a Shimano Press Fit BB72-41B, while the crankset comes from the Shimano Ultegra R8150 series with a gear ratio of 52-36T, with the length varying depending on the frame size.

The Shimano Ultegra R8100 crankset with a gradation of 11-30T and the Shimano 105 CN-M7100 drivetrain ensure excellent gear range and adaptability to different route profiles. The Lapierre Aero UD Carbon handlebars are equipped with triathlon extensions and vary in width depending on the frame size, allowing for customisation. The grips are made of Lapierre Vexgel Tape, which ensures comfort and grip.

The Lapierre stem has a tilt angle of -5.7° and varies in length to ensure an optimum riding position. The integrated Acros headset with Aircode Acros spacers ensures a clean look and precise steering. The Continental GP5000S TR tyres in size 28-622 offer excellent grip and rolling resistance on the road.

The wheelset is made of Lapierre Road Disc Carbon with a rim height of 50 mm, which further supports the aerodynamics. The Prologo Dimension T4.0 saddle with rails offers comfort even on longer rides, while the Lapierre Aero Carbon seatpost is designed without offset to optimally support the riding position.

All in all, the AIRCODE DRS 7.0 - C2 offers a well thought-out package of performance-orientated components that is suitable for both competitions and ambitious training rides.
