Xelius SL

Algupära

Kerge kaaluga tõususõidu maanteeratas. Lapierre'i lipulaev kergekaaluline platvorm, mida kasutab WorldTouris Groupama-FDJ. Xelius DRS asendab seda aerodünaamilisema universaalrattana; SL3 raam jääb puhtaks tõusuraamiks.

Verdikt

+Tugevused

Distinctive design and gorgeous paintwork — stands out from a homogenous race-bike crowd (3D Tubular wishbone seatstays)
Lively, fast, race-oriented handling: responsive steering with long-wheelbase descending confidence
Excellent build spec and strong value — Dura-Ace Di2 + carbon wheels rivals direct-to-consumer brands like Canyon
Aggressive, efficient climbing/race position; ~7 W aero gain over the previous generation
Aero-influenced geometry refined for fast descents and a more projected front position

−Nõrkused

Heavy for the genre at ~7.4-7.5 kg — blunts liveliness under hard acceleration vs lighter rivals
Not the most comfortable ride; ships with 25c tyres where many riders now prefer 28c
Unconventional Lapierre handlebar shape caused wrist discomfort for one reviewer
Only five frame sizes — limits fit precision at the extremes
Can feel twitchy in crosswinds; Lapierre-branded finishing kit is functional but unremarkable

Kellele sobib

Climber/all-rounder racer who values low weight and a distinctive French aesthetic. Strong sentimental pull for fans of Thibaut Pinot / Groupama-FDJ era.
