With its 100 mm of clearance both front and rear and its state-of-the-art kinematics, this bike offers an outstanding compromise between pedaling ergonomics and sensitivity to shocks. Extremely easy to handle on slopes, this bike?s geometry has been laid out to save time during technically-challenging descents. Exceptional handling and comfort to blast through the kilometers and widen your lead over the competition.
With its brand new chassis, rolled out in 2017, the XR 929 ULTIMATE sets the latest standards in mountain biking: Boost hubs for greater stiffness, and a OX FLOAT KASHIMA shock absorber for more efficient riding. Comfort has not been spared, as evidenced by incorporating a FOX 32 KASHIMA fork mount, locked from the handlebars.
To navigate anywhere and everywhere, you can rely on the SRAM XX1 EAGLE Gold 12-speed transmission and its 10-50 cassette. A bit overeager in your pedaling? Rest assured of being able to stop under all circumstances with the SRAM Level Ultimate brakes, whose power and smooth application are flawless.
Moreover, its new Lapierre Carbon Cross-Country wheels provide you with the light weight and responsiveness you?ll need to raise your performance. Ultra-lightweight, rigid and precise, the XR 929 is the ultimate piece of equipment for your cross-country outings.
