All of the riders from the Francaise des Jeux Pro Tour team will attest to the ride quality of Lapierre's X-Lite frame. Whether standing on the pedals, powering up a steep climb, or sitting in the saddle spinning the flats, this beautiful, impeccably built carbon fiber frame delivers the perfect combination of stiffness, rigidity and light weight.
Reducing bike weight has always been at the heart of Lapierre's development process. To optimize every gram, the frame is designed in 3D using Computer Assisted Design (CAD) software, and then recreated using a finished element calculating software that simulates the behavior of the frame under different conditions. The information from these simulations helps identify the areas of the frame that are put under the most stress and pinpoint the direction of the carbon fibers and number of carbon layers necessary for optimal ride quality. The end result is a high performance frame with the best weight/performance ratio possible.
Refer to the virtual top tube length when sizing a frame with a sloping geometry.
