Sleeker, more rigid and more aerodynamic than its predecessors, the Xelius DRS reduces disturbances to silence thanks to a carbon lay-up technology combining craftsmanship, innovation and lightness. This new bombshell actually merges the two historic Lapierre competition models – the Xelius SL and the Aircode DRS – into a single racier, more playful and more accomplished version. This alliance takes the best of each model and is a condensation of many professional victories. Now, it’s just waiting for you to face the headwinds! 

The most successful competitor

When beating its climbing records, getting ahead in a race or coming down the road like a cannonball, the Xelius DRS responds with extreme precision. All the details have been optimised in this direction, starting with the 3D Tubular technology - now switched to flat tubes - which frees the entire seat post, allowing it to bend throughout its entire length. This new shape exudes a new playful and aggressive spirit for a competition bike: the shorter chainstays also confirm this change of course to perfection.

Above all, this machine brings the solution on the flat with its more upright saddle angle, allowing the athlete to think of only one thing: he attack. The three letters ‘DRS’ or Drag Reduction System also corroborate this idea that headwinds are no longer a brake on your progress. Even going downhill, the machine's behaviour makes you feel safe thanks to better weight distribution and extended reach (for a safer, stable posture at high speeds). Combined with the significant aerodynamic gain from the whole assembly, you get a marvel of speed, precision and comfort!
