Lapierre Zesty AM 6.9 CF review

Apr 2021 · Tom Marvin

Flat-out fast in a straight line, but all-round trail performance could be improved

Highs
  • Quiet and comfortable suspension that loves being pointed straight down a hill

Lows
  • Too happy getting deeper into its travel to make the most out of flatter, more twisty tracks

Lapierre Zesty TR 5.9 review

Jul 2020 · Guy Kesteven

Lapierre's short-travel 29er chassis looks promising on paper but how does the complete bike ride on the trail?

Highs
  • Balanced trail geometry

  • Impressively smooth suspension once it's moving

  • Crisp pedalling feel despite neutral stroke

  • Sorted fork and brake spec

  • Good overall value

Lows
  • Slippery front tyre

  • Limited dropper drop

  • Lazy dropper lever

  • Surplus fork lockout

  • Bar and grips reduce leverage

  • Heavy cassette, clunky hub
