Info: The frame is a claimed 850g monocoque carbon (size 52cm). The head tube is tapered (1.5 to 1.125 in.) with an Easton EC90 fork. Construction of the frame: Lapierre says that rather than using air-filled bags inside the layup of the frame (they can wrinkle, creating brittle resin pockets), the X-Lite II frame is molded with silicone mandrels that more exactly shape the frame's interior. Complete bike weight, for a size 52cm, is 14.55 lbs. MSRP on the consumer version (Shimano 7900 Dura-Ace with Shimano 7850 clinchers and Hutchinson tubeless tires): $6,200.
Specs: Shimnao Dura-Ace DI2 component group; 7850-C24-TU tubular wheels, Hutchinson tubular tires, Shimano Pro cockpit.
