The Rodi Tryp 30 rims are tubeless-ready and, combined with the Maxxis tyres – ASSEGAI at the front and Minion DHR at the rear – are ready for any challenge on the trail. The Lapierre by Fastace hubs ensure the wheels run smoothly. The Lapierre Crmo by Velo saddle and the adjustable seatpost with up to 150 mm of travel (depending on frame size) round off the overall package.

Priced at 4399 EUR, the Lapierre Zesty AM CF 7.9 offers excellent value for money for ambitious mountain bikers looking for a reliable and high-performance bike.
