Lapierre Xelius DRS 8.0 AXS 2026

Xelius DRS, performance and comfort

Wind, that natural element that challenges cyclists and pushes them to their limits. A relentless battle against an invisible force that slows you down, compromises your performance, and undermines your morale. But if you can tame this force, you will be propelled to new heights of performance. The new Xelius DRS embodies this DNA perfectly. Combining the Xelius SL and Aircode DRS models, this bike doesn't just play with the wind, it confronts it, challenges it, and exploits it to the fullest. In the wind tunnel, the data is unequivocal: aerodynamics are improved by 15% compared to previous models. In terms of watts, the observation confirms its excellence, with savings of up to 15 watts at high speed on flat terrain. And in competition? This new speed bomb led Cassandre Beaugrand to victory at the Olympic Games. And it will continue to push every cyclist's performance to the highest levels!
