By: Lapierre bicycles The timing of this launch could not have been timed better with the consistently strong results on Lapierre mountain bikes which have put Lapierre's Gravity Republic team atop the Enduro World Series team ranking after round three with only four races remaining. “We are excited to see how the line is received in the North American market, especially after witnessing the success Nico Vouilloz has had in the Enduro World Series (http://www.enduroworldseries.com/) Lapierre was one of the first manufacturers to embrace the mountain bike phenomenon back in the 1980’s. Since then, Lapierre has been at the forefront of mountain bike design and has been pushing the capabilities of bicycles to where they are today. A longtime partnership with 10-time World Cup Downhill Champ and Lapierre Athlete, Nico Vouilloz has played an integral part in the R&D process, providing world-class advice, testing, and feedback toward the design of Lapierre’ In addition to the advancements in frame design, Lapierre has also partnered with Rock Shox to create a computer-controlled shock known as “e.i” Lapierre’ Spicy Nico Vouilloz’ Zesty AM Adapted from the Spicy with a slightly steeper headset, longer top tube and a steeper seat tube angle for less weight on the rear wheel, the Zesty AM is the perfect do-it-all, trail bike. The Zesty is offered in three carbon models that feature the e.i suspension and two aluminum models without e.i. The Zesty AM frame has a tapered head tube, 142x12mm rear thru axel, comes with 27.5” wheels and uses Lapierre’ Zesty Trail Inspired by the XR, but on an all-new Zesty platform, the Zesty Trail mimics the same playful trail ride of the Zesty but is now also offered with 29” wheels. With a relatively slack head tube angle, tapered head tube and 142x12 rear thru axel, the Zesty Trail retains cross-country characteristics. The Zesty Trail also has a steeper seat tube angle and longer top tube, for 120mm of front and rear travel that attacks the climbs and flies down the descents. The Zesty Trail is offered in one full carbon model, two carbon/aluminum models and two full aluminum models. The full line up: Zesty Trail 929, Zesty Trail 729, Zesty Trail 529, Zesty Trail 429, Zesty Trail 329. MSRP $7,700 - $2,800 XR Lapierre’ Visit www.LapierreBicycles.com for full bike specifications.
