[Closed] Lapierre Zesty - 2011 or 2012?

Well Lapierre shortened the chainstays, lengthened the front end slightly, as well as slackening the head angle by a degree I believe. It should mean that the 2012 bike rides slightly better all things being equal.

Sitting on the two year models side by side the difference is difficult to discern. I think you'd have to be a pretty serious rider to really notice a huge difference.

full carbon frame verses partial, too - depending on spec - and so generally slightly lower spec gear on 2012 at same price point to offset the pricier frame.
