Already available in three aluminium models, Lapierre have now released two further models in the X-Control range that have a carbon front triangle. With 120mm/100mm suspension the bike range is aimed at trail/cross country and designed around 27.5 wheels.
The 527 comes kitted out with a Shimano XT drivetrain, while the 727 comes with 11 speed XTR.
UK prices are TBC.
We’re hoping to get a ride in on the 727 tomorrow, in the meantime here’s Lapierre’s press release…
The legend goes on!
Our X-Control has been redesigned for 2015! After presenting the three aluminium models (X-Control 127, X-Control 227 & X-Control 327) this summer, you can now check out our two new carbon models: the X-Control 527 & X-Control 727.
The soul of the X-Control remains the same, but it now benefits from the latest innovative technology, to make it even more efficient:

With 120mm of suspension up front and 100mm at the rear, it’s ready to eat up the miles.
