Lapierre Zesty TR 529 EI Mountain Bike 2015 - Full Suspension MTB
With its sophisticated electronic suspension, carbon composite frame and dialled trail geometry the Lapierre Zesty TR 529 is a full-suss 29er MTB that positively oozes efficiency and dynamism. Conceived, developed and tested at Lapierre’s headquarters in Dijon, France with input from team riders including multiple MTB World Champion Nico Vouilloz you can be sure that the Zesty will deliver.
Frame and fork
Lapierre's e:i shock technology makes the Zesty one of the most efficient trail bikes on the market. Two accelerometers - one in the bottom bracket and one on the fork - can sense when the shock needs to be open and when it is best locked out. The shock default is open but when the pedals are being turned it will lock out automatically, unless - and this is where it gets really interesting - the fork senses a bump in which case the shock will be opened up again.
The whole process can be completed in one tenth of a second. The overall effect is super efficient pedaling without compromising suspension performance. See the video for a more in-depth explanation.
The RockShox Monarch air shock has adjustable rebound damping and various compression damping modes can be selected via the e:i system. The battery is neatly placed on the downtube bottle mounts and is offset so you can still run a bottle cage.
The carbon fibre composite front triangle is paired with an aluminium front triangle - the same as the TR 829 - and provides 120mm of active suspension travel. The OST+ suspension system is a proper ‘4 bar linkage’ design which means that the pedaling forces do not affect the suspension or visa versa. This ensures that, even when the suspension is open, there is no suspension bob or quirky pedal feedback.
The RockShox Reba RL fork offers 120mm of plush suspension travel and perfectly complements the rear. A tapered steerer tube and thru axle keep things nice and stiff up front for precise steering.
Components
The Shimano XT drivetrain (with SRAM front mech) is paired with a Race Face Turbine chainset. This offers crisp precise shifting across a wide range of gears which is perfect for the steep climbs and descents that you will find on most mountain bike trail loops.
Race Face 29” wheels - lightweight and robust - have thru axles front and rear to keep things nice and stiff. This helps to keep things in control when the going gets rough.
The KS Lev integra dropper post - essential on a modern trail bike - offers 125 mm of adjustment from the handlebar mounted remote which has internal cable routing to keep things neat and tidy.
Braking is provided by Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes which offers plenty of stopping power with great modulation which means you can control your speed with confident in all weather conditions.
Great for cross-country and trail centre adventures the Lapierre Zesty TR 529 is a well balanced, and with the e:i is a super efficient full suspension Mountain bike.
