A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Lapierre Zesty AM 5 Ultimate review

Apr 2019 · Tom Marvin

Bikes, such as the Vitus Escarpe use a similar design to good effect, and while the Lapierre displays similar traits (good small bump sensitivity, ‘bottomless’ feel through bigger hits), it’s not quite as smooth as the Vitus, partly thanks to the use of a more basic RockShox Deluxe RT shock.. .

Highs
  • Neatly finished frame with big terrain capability

Lows
  • Not particularly zippy on flatter, more mellow trails

Lapierre Zesty AM 327 (2016) first ride - MBR

Sep 2016 · Mountain Bike Rider

The new Lapierre Zesty AM 327 is long, low and lithe.

Highs
  • Fast and playful on the smoother trail centre runs. Decent value for money and comes with a dropper as standard.

Lows
  • Chunky-looking frame is a tad heavy, garish colour, felt a little too long on a couple of really tight switchbacks.

And an aluminium frame too, sitting at a more affordable price point of $4799. We’ve had …

Highs
  • Fun and lively ride.

  • Excellent suspension.

  • It's a Zesty!

Lows

In the heart of the French Alps this week, Lapierre launched a full overhaul of their popular Zesty All-Mountain and Trail platform for the 2016 season. The most obvious changes from the current bikes are the repositioned shock layout, new longer reach frames, and the replacement of the current TR 29er with a 27.5″ XM that lets them …
