The Xelius SL 5.0 model from Lapierre from 2022 presents itself as a high-quality road bike designed for ambitious riders. The frame is made from the New Xelius SL Disc thru axle UD Superlight Carbon, which is known for its lightness and stiffness. The fork is also made from the same material, which ensures a harmonious and powerful unit.
The shifting group is based on the reliable Shimano 105 series. The Shimano 105 RD-R7000-GS shifting mechanism offers eleven gears, which can be changed precisely and smoothly via the Shimano 105 BR7020 shift levers. The Shimano 105 FD-R7000FL front derailleur completes the shifting system and ensures smooth transitions between the chainrings of the crankset. The crankset itself is the Shimano 105 FC-R7000, which is equipped with different crank arm lengths depending on the frame size to ensure optimum ergonomics.
The bottom bracket is a Shimano Press Fit SMBB7141B, which contributes to the rigidity of the drivetrain. The Shimano 105 CS-R7000 cassette with a gradation of 11-30T offers a wide gear range suitable for various terrains. The drivetrain is completed by the Shimano HG601 chain.
The aluminium Lapierre handlebars, which are available in different widths depending on the frame size, ensure comfort and control. The handlebar tape is equipped with Lapierre Vexgel tape, which provides additional comfort. The Lapierre stem is available in different lengths and allows you to customise your riding position.
The tyres consist of Continental Ultra Sport 3 SL tyres in size 700x25, which are mounted on a Lapierre Road Disc Alloy wheelset with Mavic Open Disc rims. This combination is tubeless-compatible and offers a good balance between speed and puncture resistance.
The Selle Italia X3 Boost saddle ensures comfort on long rides, while the seatpost is made from Lapierre alloy 3D forged material and has a diameter of 27.2 mm and a length of 350 mm.
Overall, the Xelius SL 5.0 offers excellent value for money at a price of EUR 2999 and is aimed at riders who value quality and performance.
