Lapierre Xelius SL 5.0
The Xelius SL 5.0 is a racing machine; a bike to fly through corners and chase down straights. Competitively equipped, the Xelius is as much at home in the hills as on the fast valley roads. The 5.0 SL may be the entry-level model in the Xelius line, but it's a reliable, affordable road bike with quality features and the same carbon frame as all the bikes in the series.
Frame and geometry
At the heart of the racer is the super stiff UD Superlight carbon frame. This frame has an aggressive geometry with a low stack, long reach and steep head angle for a racy, aerodynamic riding position. A redesigned bottom bracket shell and tapered head tube contribute to the bike's responsive, zippy ride by providing more stiffness with less weight. The Xelius' tube shapes are inspired by Lapierre's Aircode aero road bike, which means the bike excels not only uphill, but also on descents and flatter terrain.
Features
The Xelius SL 5.0 is equipped with Shimano's proven 105 groupset, including flat-mount hydraulic disc brakes with excellent responsiveness. The 105 group stands for perfect functionality: perfect shifting, minimal maintenance and extremely powerful, controllable braking performance, whatever the weather or topography. A Mavic wheelset and a Selle Italia saddle complete the package.
