Lapierre X-Control 727 Mountain Bike 2015 - Full Suspension MTB
The Lapierre X-Control 727 is a performance full suss MTB ready to carve up local trail centres or take on marathon XC routes. A high quality carbon / alloy frame with top of the line spec makes for an extremely capable machine at a great price.
You can buy this full suss through a 0% interest Tredz Finance package. You could be hitting the trails in no time.
Frame & Suspension
The X-Control 727 comes with a super light, stiff and strong carbon composite monocoque front triangle. A combination of low modulus (shock absorbing) and high modulus (stiffness) fibres are suited to long distance riding. The ride is responsive, controlled and very fun.
New for 2015, the frame has been redesigned to fit the new 27.5” wheel size. The 68 degree head angle is pretty relaxed, but by no means slack. A 73.5 degree seat angle is perfect for sailing up the climbs while seated. It’s a solid climber that can bomb down smooth man made trails with ease.
Suspension is key to any full suss’ performance. The 727 comes with a RockShox SID fork. It’s extremely lightweight and a favourite amongst XC racers. The fork comes with lockout to remove bobbing as you climb.
RockShox Monarch shock is one of the best available on the market. It provides excellent traction. The 120mm front and 100mm rear sus is ideal for bombing down smooth man made trails, and more technical terrain.
The FPS2 rear shock is a virtual pivot point as the rear wheel is linked to the frame with two linkages, and the rear wheel doesn’t move in a circular path in the way a single pivot does. Instead, the rear wheel path is perpendicular to the chain line.
Suspension acts independently from pedalling. In other words there is no pedal kickback. You can keep cranking away in the saddle. This is active suspension that tracks the ground impressively well. You can conserve energy to go for longer, more epic rides.
The suspension remains active under braking and doesn’t stiffen up. Other frame features include a tapered head tube for precision cornering, and a super stiff 12mm bolt through axle. There is internal cable routing for a possible upgrade to a stealth dropper post.
Components
The X-Control 727 comes with impressive spec. The full Shimano XTR groupset is simply the best there is. Slick, fast, precise shifting and a wide range cassette - what more could you ask for.
XT hydraulic disc brakes offer the best modulation, power and feel too. 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors are all you’re ever going to need.
The DT Swiss wheelset (UST tubeless) wrapped in tubeless tyres are super lightweight and efficient.
