Xelius SL

01

Izcelsme

Viegls kāpšanas-sacīkšu šosejas velosipēds. Lapierre flagmaņa vieglā platforma, ar kuru Groupama-FDJ brauc WorldTour. Xelius DRS to aizstāj kā aerodinamiskāks universālais modelis; SL3 rāmis paliek tīrā kāpšanas opcija.

Verdikts

+Stiprās puses
  • 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
Vājās puses
  • 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

Kam piemērots

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