Zesty CF
Erode Boundaries
Be assertive, naturally
There is a very special specimen to tackle natural landforms: the Zesty CF. Between the sea and the mountains, between rocks and waterfalls, everything becomes possible when the adventure gets off the beaten track. This "barrier breaker" heralds the new era of mountain biking, a breath of fresh air and a fantastic escape from the gloom.
This All-Mountain bike blends easily into into any majestic setting. It embodies every imaginable aspect of the discipline all by itself: climbing, descending, and then starting again. From mountain peaks to the ocean, from meadows to misty forests, from scree slopes to twisting singles, it reconnects with the most fundamental elements: water, earth and your expert steering. Now, you can dare to explore the wilderness, steep slopes and thousand-year-old ravines carved out by erosion.
More assertive, more playful and definitely more versatile, this new Zesty CF draws its strength from a platform with 150 mm of travel, making steering a joy. Its character asserts itself just as well in the mountains, thanks to its astonishing driveability with fluid trajectories, as on capricious coastal roads: the more sensitive compression at the start subtly erases any inconsistencies. A brute force that doesn't neglect its look: sandy colour, SE edition or forest green, everything about this bike shakes up the established codes. Regardless of your choice of wheels - 29 inches or Mullet format (rear wheel 27.5’’/front wheel 29’’) - set off to break the boundaries of what's natural!
More rigid, more manoeuvrable, wilder
Thanks to its new kinematics, the Zesty CF ideally meets the new demands of All-Mountain riding. Its design evolves to adapt specifically to the changing conditions of a mountain ride. A straightened seat angle, higher head tube and shorter chainstays offer an aggressive combo to defy the elements. More rigid, but also more manoeuvrable than its peers, this ultra-versatile machine tackles obstacles with impressive composure and comes spectacularly close to the "ultimate mountain bike". For fans of adventures, it will even become essential for bikepacking tours!
Like the GLP III, Lapierre engineers have completely redesigned this bike. Starting with weight distribution, the main enemy of mountain bikers: now, the weight is tilted significantly towards the front in order to re-centre stress and improve handling. A Toolbox - placed close to the chainset - embodies this philosophy by reducing the impact of a repair kit on the bike's behaviour to practically zero. Elegant, formidable and wild: let your thirst for adventure do the rest!
