Team Gravity

Team Lapierre Gravity Collective has found itself three musketeers for the 2025 season: Louis Jeandel, Lisandru Bertini and Elise Porta. All three are ready to take on the competition on Enduro/DH races and to make the Lapierre badge, embroidered in large letters on their uniforms, shine well beyond the national stage. With an average age of barely over 21, our feisty riders will take on the best riders in their respective categories to prove their talent to the world. Their aim is to touch the hearts of all gravity enthusiasts! 

Louis Jeandel – The vice-champion from Creuse in central France

With Louis Jeandel, France, and therefore Team Lapierre Gravity Collective, can count on a legitimate contender to the Enduro MTB throne. Gaining 2nd place in the first Enduro World Championship in history in 2024, the 25-year-old rider will forever be the first vice-world champion in the discipline. A title that opens up enormous perspectives, consistent with his riding ability:  in the World Cup heats and also every race in which he takes part from now on, he will be feared by his competitors. This smiling, muscular athlete is counting on his new fame to make his mark and build on the consistency demonstrated in recent years (7th at Peyragudes, 14th world ranking in 2024). His ultimate goal is to, finally, join the world's top 10 in his discipline. The season looks promising!

Lisandru Bertini - A Corsican on the rise

His name is already known on the world Enduro MTB scene. And it's likely that he will continue to etch it in gold in the discipline's record books. The spirited Corsican, who was the World Enduro Champion in the U21 category in 2023, leaves behind a nearly barren 2024 season due to injury, a far cry from his usual ambitions and standards. Lisandru is an Enduro prodigy: slender, alert and precise, he steers his machine with the serenity of a champion and the verve of his youth. Keen to make his come-back this year, he will be eager to repeat his three U21 victories, his U21 consecration and his honorary title of "Corsican sportsman" of the year. 

Elise Porta – A woman from the south who wastes no time

She is a prodigy with an alert mind. If ever you are in the Provence mountains and notice a young female mountain bike rider wearing red trousers, furiously hurtling down slopes that the best trail riders would fear, then it's likely to be Elise Porta. The future of women's gravity lies beneath her wheels, which she positions with rare finesse: at just 18 years of age, Elise Porta is no less than the reigning Junior French Enduro champion and French DH vice-champion. She already commands a certain amount of respect among the elite thanks to her rankings: 8th in the French DH elite championship and several top 15 places in French cup heats. 2025 is set to be as radiant as the sun in the south of France!

A new vision of commitment

What makes a bike's reputation? Is it its revolutionary design? The range of its abilities? Probably a bit of both. Based on this duality, at the heart of Lapierre technology, the Spicy CF redefines standards by blazing its own trail to overturn the laws of gravity. You no longer have a limited and divisive Enduro bike. What you have is a two-headed machine that is shattering the myth and becoming a legend.

A "2-in-1" mountain bike: the reality exceeds what was only fiction until now, thanks to an ingenious system of modular link rods that can be mounted on the same frame, with high or low pivot mounting. The Spicy CF erases every limit and compromise. It offers an unlimited range of action: bike park, forest or rough singles, your riding will shine on every trail!
