Lapierre XELIUS SL 7.0 - C2

The "XELIUS SL 7.0 - C2" model from the Lapierre brand from 2024 is a high-quality road bike that is characterised by its advanced equipment and the use of lightweight materials. The frame is made of Xelius SL Disc Thru axle UD Superlight Carbon, which not only ensures low weight, but also high rigidity and durability. The permissible total weight is 110 kg, which ensures a robust and stable construction.

Braking performance is provided by the Shimano Ultegra Disc system with a disc size of 160/140 mm, which works precisely and reliably even at high speeds and in demanding conditions. The drivetrain is equipped with the Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8150, which offers a wide gear range with 12 gears and enables particularly precise shifting thanks to its electronic control. The front derailleur is also part of the Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8150 system.

The bike has a rigid fork and VP-335 Clips&Strap pedals, which ensure efficient power transmission. The Shimano Press Fit BB72-41B bottom bracket supports the Shimano Ultegra R8150 crankset, which is equipped with different crank arm lengths (170mm for XS and S, 172.5mm for M and L, 175mm for XL) and a 52-36T gear ratio. The crankset is a Shimano Ultegra R8100 with an 11-34T gradation, complemented by the Shimano 105 CN-M7100 drivetrain with 12 gears.

The Lapierre UD Carbon handlebars offer an ergonomic shape and are available in different widths (400mm for XS and S, 420mm for M, L and XL) to allow customisation to the rider. The grips are wrapped with Lapierre Vexgel tape for added comfort. The Lapierre stem has a tilt angle of -5.7° and varies in length depending on the frame size (90mm for XS and S, 100mm for M, 110mm for L, 120mm for XL).

The headset is integrated and is complemented by the Xelius Acros spacer. The SCHWALBE ONE Perf tyres with RaceGuard and MicroSkin technology are tubeless ready and come in size 28-622, which together with the DT Swiss E1800 SPLINE wheelset offers an optimum balance between speed and puncture resistance. The Fizik Argo Vento R5 saddle with a width of 140mm ensures comfort on long rides, while the Lapierre Carbon Light seatpost with a diameter of 27.2mm and a length of 350mm brings additional weight savings.

The price of the XELIUS SL 7.0 - C2 is EUR 4999, which is an attractive offer considering the high-quality components and innovative design. This model is aimed at ambitious road cyclists who value performance and reliability.
