Lapierre is back!
Every signature is the start of an extraordinary story, steeped in passion, perseverance and unforgettable moments. A story where expertise and team spirit write the greatest legends. In 2025, a new page begins: Lapierre equips the professional cyclists from Team Picnic PostNL!
We are back in the pelotons and today, our competition heritage is exported beyond our borders. At the greatest races in the world, in search of monuments, victories and yellow jerseys, the three teams in our Dutch formation, Team Picnic PostNL (World Tour masculine - World Tour feminine - Continental development team), are aiming for crowing glory with their Xelius DRS and Aerostorm bikes. For four years, our bikes will become the architects of a new chapter in their performance.
A powerful and versatile bicycle
Our engineers have worked relentlessly to design the most competitive bike in our road range (and undoubtedly one of the best performers on the market). With a power saving of 15 watts on the high-speed counter and an optimised weight/stiffness ratio, there is no doubt that the super-powerful Dutch sprinters will have everything they need to win. But that's not all.
The Xelius DRS PicNic PostNL edition joins the very select group of the most versatile bikes. "It's more versatile than what we had before", confirms Warren Barguil, who also underlines the edginess of the frame when riding out of the saddle. In addition to its playful character when picking up speed, "it responds well when climbing" says Romain Bardet, who will be riding a French bike for the first time in his career. "The Xelius DRS suits me, someone who doesn't like climbing sitting down and who rides standing up. I'm hoping for excellent results with this great piece of equipment! ”
I'm really happy because it's my first time as a pro riding a French brand. That's worth noting!

Victories on the horizon
Great piece of equipment? Perfectly customised to go with the team's outfit – more sober and more engaging – the Xelius DRS Team Picnic PostNL edition features a subtle blue with marbled accents. Orange/red details give the final warm touch to the man/machine harmony. In fact, this official bike depicts a crystal-clear horizon where the fire of victory sparkles!
