The Lapierre Xelius DRS 7.0 is a performance-focused carbon road bike designed to work across a broad range of road riding. Lapierre positions the Xelius as equally at home climbing, descending and carrying speed on flatter roads, while retaining the comfort needed for longer days in the saddle.

Its carbon frame uses a distinctive seat stay design to balance performance with compliance. The longer seat stays are positioned so they're able to flex vertically and laterally, while the seat tube remains free along its length. Lapierre says this arrangement also allows vibrations to be dispersed through the top tube, helping improve comfort without moving away from the Xelius' performance focus.

A Lapierre UD SLI carbon fork complements the carbon frame, while an Acros integrated headset and semi-internally routed cockpit help create a clean front end. The 90mm Lapierre alloy stem is paired with a carbon aero handlebar featuring a 130mm drop, 70mm reach and subtle 5-degree flare.

Shimano Ultegra Di2 provides electronic 2x12-speed shifting. Ultegra R8150 front and rear derailleurs work with ST-R8170 shift/brake levers, while an Ultegra FC-R8150 chainset and CS-R8100 12-speed cassette complete the main drivetrain components. This gives riders a broad range of gears alongside the smaller steps between ratios offered by a 2x road setup.

Shimano Ultegra R8170 hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled braking, with 160mm rotors fitted front and rear. The hydraulic system gives consistent lever control for managing speed on descents as well as riding in changing road conditions.

DT Swiss ER 1600 Spline wheels use a 30mm rim profile and are tubeless compatible. They're paired with 25mm Schwalbe One Performance tyres featuring RaceGuard puncture protection and MicroSkin construction, creating a road-focused wheel and tyre package suited to fast riding.

The tubeless-compatible wheels also give riders the option of converting to a tubeless setup with suitable components, allowing lower tyre pressures to be used for additional comfort and grip while sealant can help deal with smaller punctures.

A Lapierre Xelius DRS carbon seatpost uses a zero-offset design and is paired with a Prologo Dimension saddle with T4.0 rails. Together with the frame's seat stay design, these components contribute to a setup intended to combine efficient road performance with comfort over longer distances.

Overall, the Lapierre Xelius DRS 7.0 brings together a carbon frameset, electronic Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes and DT Swiss wheels. It's well suited to riders looking for one performance road bike for climbing, fast group rides, longer road rides and varied terrain.

Please note: Lapierre states that the frame is covered by a two-year warranty. Component availability may also result in some parts being substituted with equivalent alternatives.
