Originally introduced in 2001, the legendary X-Control remains the perfect combination of efficiency, performance and comfort.
With 100mm of rear travel and our patented FPS2 rear suspension platform, the X-Control is the perfect companion for all types of cross country riding: competition, marathon, trail or epic rides. For 2010, Lapierre is launching the third generation of the X-Control, which has been totally redesigned. Even lighter, with a new, full carbon frame, increased stiffness and better response, improved stability and pedaling efficiency especially on rough terrain thanks to a new geometry and an optimized Fox FP2 Boost Valve shock...the X-Control has a new look and a new attitude.
In carbon or alloy, the X-Control is also available this year in a Race and a Marathon version, to satisfy even more riders’ needs.

What is a Full Suspension Bike?
Theyre designed for a variety of off-road uses: cross-country, trail riding, free riding, downhill riding and north shore riding. They improve comfort, control and efficiency by keeping the wheels in contact with the trail more. This translates to a smoother, faster ride. Suspension travel can range widely with shorter travel more suited to cross-country and the longer travel for DH and Free ride. They can be referred to as FS, full suspension or dual suspension.
