Lapierre Bike Xelius SL 600 - Ultegra R8000

You will never again be alone in the important effort that a hill, a mountain or a hill requires... The new Xelius SL road bike will not abandon you when you need it, when the percentages will force you to draw on all your strength. It will give you back each of the watts you give it, give you a boost when you raise it and will become light when you climb to the top. This result is the result of many years of work and permanent performance research conducted in close collaboration with the Groupama-FDJ team. And it is alongside riders like Thibaut Pinot and facing mythical ascents such as the Izoard, the Angliru or the Stelvio ... that we have strengthened the climbing character of our Xelius SL. It will not be Anthony Roux to tell you otherwise because he is the brand new 2018 French champion at the wheel of this Xelius.

Don't trust appearances, small details make a big difference. While retaining its unique design and dynamic features, we have focused on excellence with the new Xelius SL carbon frame kit.

To increase performance in climbing, R&D teams focused on reducing weight while maintaining the level of rigidity. The few grams lost improve the incredible feeling of lightness and facilitate raises.

We have also improved the manufacturing quality of the UD carbon monocoque frame thanks to the latex air chamber molding technique, reducing excess resin inside the tubes for a flawless end result.

The shapes borrowed from our aerodynamic Aircode SL bike make it more nervous and stable at high speed, positioning it as a more versatile and perfectly comfortable bike in the valleys between two hills.

If you still believe that the Xelius SL is a simple climbing bike, do not forget that it has other advantages that offer comfort and take you as far as possible in your challenges.

The frame is ours... For the rest we have selected the best components. The Ultegra Shimano group is there to serve you! Discreet, fast and precise, you will always be surprised by the change of speed. Simple to use, it supports you during the effort and facilitates the change of multiplier. You will notice the excellent braking and perfect ergonomics of the handlebars for excellent riding. The DT SWISS P 1800 SPLINE wheels are benchmarks when it comes to aluminium wheels. Wide, symmetrical and lightweight, the rims have an exceptional stiff-to-weight ratio. The driver's seat, Zipp / Lapierre combo brings rigidity and lightness. Thanks to the latest generation of ergonomics, the FIZIK ANTARES R5 MG saddle allows an optimal distribution of the rider's weight, for unprecedented comfort, even over long distances.
