Lapierre Zesty AM 527 EI Mountain Bike 2015 - Full Suspension MTB
With a great balance between uphill efficiency and downhill stability The Lapierre Zesty AM 527 e:i rules the mountain. With 150mm of electronically controlled suspension and dialled trail geometry the Zesty is the perfect bike for all-mountain adventures.
Frame and Suspension
Lapierre’s e:i shock technology takes pedaling efficiency to another level without compromising suspension performance. Two accelerometers - one on the fork and the other in the bottom bracket - sense when the shock needs to be open and when it is best locked out. The default position is open but when the pedals are turned it will lock out automatically, unless - and this is the clever bit - the fork hits a bump, in which case the shock will be opened up again.
This whole process is completed within a tenth of a second and works seamlessly on the trail. You can just ride and let the bike automatically adjust the suspension to suit the terrain. See the video for more details.
The front triangle is a monocoque carbon composite construction - strong and lightweight - and the rear stays are Supreme 6 alloy - the same as found on the Zesty 827.
The OST+ suspension system offers 150mm of rear suspension travel. This tried and tested suspension design successfully isolates pedaling braking and suspension forces from each other so that you don’t get any annoying pedal kickback and combined with the e:i makes this one of the most efficient suspension platforms available.
The Rockshox Pike - one of the best trail forks currently on the market - offers 150mm of buttery smooth suspension performance with adjustable rebound and compression damping. The Monarch rear shock perfectly matches the performance of the fork and is integrated neatly with the e:i system.
The tapered head tube and bolt through axles front and rear keep things stiff for precise handling and internal cable routing keeps the lines of the bike nice and clean.
Components
The 2x10 speed Shimano XT drivetrain (with SRAM front mech) is paired with a quality Race Face Turbine chainset. Shifting is precise across a wide range of gears - perfect for the steep climbs and descents that you will find on mountain bike trail loops.
The Race Face 27.5” wheels are lightweight, robust and paired with Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres offer a great balance between grip and rolling speed.
A dropper post is essential on a modern trail bike, so that you can move your weight around the bike on technical sections while still being able to pedal up any inclines that appear mid trail. The KS integra dropper post is a smooth operator and offers 125 mm of adjustment from the handlebar mounted remote.
Shimano’s excellent XT hydraulic disc brakes are powerful with great modulation so you can control your speed with confidence whatever the conditions are like.
Offering a perfect balance between efficiency and pleasure the Lapierre Zesty Am 527 is great uphill and down so that you can get the best out of the trail
