The Lapierre Overvolt Carbon is quite simply the best electrically-assisted mountain bike of the year, and is the only electric mountain bike on the market that rides just as well as non-electric MTBs. This feat has been achieved by positioning the battery almost directly on top of the motor, only possible thanks to the carbon frame construction, and inspired by Gravity Logic Project innovation. This way the mass is optimally distributed and the centre of gravity lowered, which provides excellent stability even on the most technically challenging descents. Moreover, the purity of the carbon and its exclusive appeal give the bike a top-of-the-line, original look.
The Overvolt AM Carbon 700+ uses high-performance the OST+ suspension, providing 150mm of suspension travel. With a full carbon frame composition, this bike uses a geometry that’s designed for enjoying the trails as well as longer distance rides. With Boost width hubs and wide rims, the wheels use “Plus Sized” 2.8” tyres to tackle the most technically challenging routes, whether up or downhill.
Equipped with the Bosch Performance CX motor, the benchmark for e-MTB motors, this bike is capable of overcoming the worst terrain. With the new E-MTB power mode, the level of power delivered is modulated to adapt to the rider’s power and pace, in order to supply the right amount of assistance at the right time. With a Rockshox Revelation RC suspension fork up front and a Deluxe RT Debonair rear shock, this bike is ready to crush the trails.
The Overvolt AM 700+ Carbon is fitted with an 11-42 SRAM cassette, part of a versatile 1 x 11-speed transmission with a SRAM NX rear derailleur, allowing you to easily ascend all the climbs. The Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes use large rotors to ensure powerful braking, despite the bike’s heavier build. The Lapierre Eam+ wheels have been specially developed for the stresses inherent in electrically-assisted mountain bikes.
Rolling on extremely grippy Maxxis tyres (Minion DHF up front for grip and stability in turns, Rekon at the back for rolling efficiency), you’ll benefit from exceptional grip and steering control for an electric mountain bike. Moreover, this bike is fitted with a telescopic dropper seatpost controlled from the handlebars for excellent handling control.
