Lapierre Xelius DRS 9.0 – The Ultimate All-Round Race Bike

The Lapierre Xelius DRS 9.0 represents the very pinnacle of Lapierre's road bike range. Developed alongside the riders of Team Picnic PostNL and proven at the highest level of professional racing, this is the bike that combines the climbing pedigree of the legendary Xelius with the aerodynamic efficiency of the Aircode DRS.

The result is one of the fastest and most complete race bikes Lapierre has ever produced.

Constructed from Lapierre's premium UD SLI Carbon, the Xelius DRS delivers exceptional stiffness, responsiveness, and ride quality while remaining incredibly lightweight. The unique 3D Tubular frame design, located at the junction of the seat stays and top tube, improves comfort without sacrificing power transfer, allowing you to stay fresher for longer whether you're racing, climbing, or pushing for a personal best.

Wind tunnel development has resulted in a frame that is approximately 15% more aerodynamic than previous generations, saving valuable watts at speed and helping riders maintain higher average speeds with less effort. This is a bike built for attacking climbs, winning sprints, and everything in between.

Available with just a 2-working-day lead time, the Xelius DRS 9.0 offers genuine WorldTour performance without the usual long wait times associated with flagship race bikes.
