Lapierre Aircode DRS Groupama FDJ frame, black
It seemed impossible to make Aircode even faster and at the same time even more comfortable than its predecessor. But our knowledge of carbon construction and the World Tour experience of the Groupama FDJ team, in cooperation with specialists in aerodynamic optimization of dynamics using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and subsequent demanding tests in the wind tunnel, opened a new chapter for Aircode.
And that it is a successful chapter is proven by the 4 stage victories of Arnaud Demare at the Giro d'Italia 2020!
The aerodynamic and slim design plays with the laws of physics and aerodynamics. During the construction of the new model, we optimized all the details to make the frame as light as possible precisely in the places where there is the highest inertia, thereby increasing the overall performance.
More integration
Do not look for the wiring. Due to the improvement of frame curves and aerodynamics, the wiring is completely hidden in the handlebars and in the frame itself. In order to achieve this level of integration, we made a new type of stem, added 1.5" ball bearings and designed a new type of front fork. The result, in addition to improving aerodynamics, is the high aesthetic value of the new Lapierre Aircode DRS.
More aggressive geometry for even higher performance
We can improve the bike aerodynamically, but what would be the point if we don't improve the aerodynamics of the rider himself? In order to achieve a higher speed, this was a fundamental task for us. With a more direct and constant angle of the seat tube for frame sizes from XS to M (74°) and from L to XL (73.5°) and a slightly extended upper frame tube, we achieved a lower, more aggressive seat, thereby reducing air resistance and improving aerodynamics. Thanks to the longer wheelbase, the stability of the front part of the bike has been improved, especially at high speeds. The rear part of the bike stands out with higher sensitivity due to the shorter chainstays (405mm)
We have achieved an unthinkable combination of stability, control precision and acceleration ability.
Speed and convenience are not mutually exclusive
With the new Aircode DRS, you will discover what it means to drive fast and as if on velvet, regardless of the road condition. The new design of the seat stays and their connection to the upper frame tube (which now rises above the level of the seat tube) dissipates vibrations and reduces the bending force of both the seat tube and the seat post.
The results are incredible: the frame is now 12% more vertically comfortable than its predecessor. In combination with tubeless wheels (all models) and tires with a width of 25 mm (frame and fork are compatible with tires up to 28 mm), driving becomes a pleasure. It allows you not only to drive faster, but also to cover longer distances with less fatigue.
For travel and triathlon.
The Lapierre Aircode DRS 7.0 and 8.0 models come with new carbon aero handlebars specially designed for use with carbon bars that easily attach to the handlebars.
