Lapierre Pulsium 6.0

The 2022 Lapierre Pulsium 6.0 is a road bike that impresses with its high-quality components and the use of carbon for the frame and fork. The frame is made from Pulsium Disc thru-axle UD carbon, which ensures an optimal combination of lightness and stiffness. The fork is also made from 100% carbon, which further reduces the bike’s overall weight and ensures improved handling.

The groupset features the Shimano Ultegra RD-R8000-GS, which offers an 11-speed drivetrain. The shift levers, Shimano Ultegra BR8020 2x11s flat mount with Fin, complement the drivetrain and ensure precise and reliable gear changes. The front derailleur is the Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000F, which handles gear changes on the front chainring. The crankset consists of the Shimano Ultegra FC-R8000 with a 50-34T tooth configuration and different crank arm lengths depending on frame size, allowing for optimal adaptation to the rider’s needs.

The bike is fitted with a Shimano Press Fit SMBB7141B bottom bracket, which ensures efficient power transfer. The cassette is a Shimano HG700 with a range of 11–34T, which, in combination with the Shimano HG601 drivetrain, offers a wide variety of gear ratios. The handlebars and stem are manufactured in-house by Lapierre, with the handlebars available in various widths and the stem in different lengths to allow for ergonomic adjustment.

The wheelset consists of DT Swiss E1800 Spline 23 rims, which are tubeless-ready and fitted with Continental Ultra Sport 3 SL tyres in size 700x28. This combination offers a good balance between speed and comfort. The saddle, a Fizik Aliante R5 Manganese, together with the Lapierre alloy seatpost, ensures a comfortable riding position.

Overall, the Lapierre Pulsium 6.0 offers a well-thought-out package for ambitious road cyclists who value quality and performance. Priced at EUR 2,999, it represents an attractive option in the mid-range price segment.
