01
Origin
The Crosshill is Lapierre's all-round gravel bike, designed to cover distance on mixed surfaces. The original endurance aluminium frame was joined by the Crosshill CF, a full-UD-carbon model built from standard-modulus fibres for a more elastic, responsive ride and distinguished by an unconventional seat cluster whose seatstays bend and curve around the seat tube to add comfort. Practical to the core, it carries two bottles plus a top-tube bag and switches between 1x and 2x setups via a removable front-derailleur mount.
