Lapierre Sensium 3.0 Disc

The Sensium 3.0 Disc from Lapierre from 2023 is a versatile road bike that is characterised by its well thought-out equipment and solid workmanship. With a price of EUR 1599, it offers an attractive price-performance ratio for ambitious amateur riders and newcomers to road cycling. The frame of the bike is made of Sensium Disc Supreme 5 alloy with smooth welds, which contributes to a total weight of 10 kg. This makes the bike light enough for long tours and demanding climbs.

The brakes on the model are Shimano Tiagra Disc, which provide reliable braking performance in a variety of conditions. The gears are also from the Shimano Tiagra series, more specifically the RD-R4700-GS model, which, together with the FD-R4700BM front derailleur and BR4720 shifters, ensures precise and smooth gear changes. The bike offers a total of 20 gears, which are complemented by the Shimano Tiagra FC-R4700 crankset with 50-34T chainrings and a Shimano HG500 11-34T cassette.

The fork of the Sensium 3.0 Disc combines carbon with an aluminium steerer, which reduces weight and offers stability at the same time. The VP-335 pedals with clips and strap ensure a secure connection between rider and bike. The Lapierre aluminium handlebars, the width of which varies depending on the frame size, and the Lapierre handlebar tape offer comfort on long rides. The stem is also made of Lapierre aluminium and is available in different lengths to enable an optimum riding position.

The wheelset consists of Shimano hubs and Ryde DP19 aluminium rims, which are compatible with Center Lock brake discs. This combination ensures robust and reliable performance on the road. The Selle Italia Model X Superflow saddle with a width of 145 mm offers comfort even on longer rides, while the Lapierre aluminium seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm and a length of 350 mm offers additional adjustment options.

Overall, the Sensium 3.0 Disc is a well-equipped road bike that is suitable for both sporty riders and longer tours thanks to its choice of components and frame construction.
