If you liked the 2012 Spicy, you will love the 2013 model ! Nico Vouilloz’s weapon of choice in Enduro series or
Mégavalanches has once more been improved at the king’s request. The result is, tweaked geometry for more stiffness and rider comfort : a shorter seat tube assists in use of dropper seat post, longer chainstays, stiffer bottom bracket and head tube, light carbon or alloy OST+ 160 mm frame with internal cable routing… And specific Enduro components «ready to ride».

In conjunction with RockShox, Lapierre Bikes launches a new suspension system dubbed E.I Shock.
The automatic system manages the compression and lock out settings of the rear shock with a system of sensors that monitor bump forces.
The system consists of a stem-mounted head unit, accelerometers at the top and bottom of the fork, cadence sensors in the bottom bracket and a small electronic motor that makes the adjustments to the shock based on the system’s feedback.
The system has been in development for the last five years, in combination with RockShox who make the hardware, and Trelock – the lock manufacturer – who make the software.*
