Lapierre Shaper 2.0

The "Shaper 2.0" model from the Lapierre brand from 2023 is a versatile bike that is characterised by its balanced equipment and a good price-performance ratio. The price is EUR 649. The frame of the Shaper 2.0 is made of Shaper 700c Supreme 4 alloy Disc, which contributes to a total weight of only 10 kg and makes the bike light and manoeuvrable. Reliable braking performance is ensured by the Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, which work effectively in both wet and dry conditions.

The derailleur is equipped with a Shimano Acera M360 and offers 8 gears, while the Shimano Altus STEF505 shifters also ensure precise and smooth gear selection. The front derailleur is a Shimano Tourney FD-TY710, which together with the Sunrace CSM400 sprocket (12-34T 8s) and the Shimano TY501 crankset (46-30T) results in a reliable drivetrain combination. The drivetrain is completed by a YBN S52 chain, which is known for its durability.

The bike's fork is a Shaper 700c alloy PM Disc Brake, which provides stability and control. The Xerama SP-822N pedals provide a secure grip for the rider. Additional comfort is provided by the Selle Italia Model X Superflow saddle with a width of 145 mm, mounted on an XLC seat post (Ø: 27.2 mm, L: 350 mm).

The handlebars are made of XLC alloy 6061 with a width of 640 mm and a rise of 15 mm, while the stem is also made of XLC alloy and has an angle of 17°. The headset is an FSA NO.10 semi-integrated model, which ensures precise steering. The wheels consist of Shimano hubs (TX505, centre lock) combined with lightweight aluminium rims, resulting in a robust yet lightweight wheel construction.

Overall, the Lapierre Shaper 2.0 offers solid equipment for riders looking for a reliable and versatile bike that is suitable for both everyday use and occasional sporty rides.
