The Sensium 200L is the top model in Lapierre's Lady range. The carbon frameset is beautifully finished; however, it only delivers average results in terms of weight, stiffness and comfort. The equipment with Shimano 105, simple Shimano wheels and Ritchey parts seems appropriate for the price. Even if the groupless triple cranks and brakes have been cut back a little, the components harmonised well during testing. However, we would replace the very cheap tyres. There were no complaints about the in-house Lady saddle, the handlebars are also easy to grip and the brake levers are easy to reach even for small hands.
PLUS well-made frame set; triple cranks; comfortable saddle; handlebars easy to grip
