Lapierre Zesty AM CF 8.9 golden

The Zesty from Lapierre is based on the same carbon frame as the race enduro Spicy. Thanks to a different damper length, however, it slims down to 150 millimeters of travel and thus moves in the range of all-mountain missions. Alternatively, it is recommended for enduro use in moderately brutal terrain.

Geometry
It does not try to score with particularly extreme geometry, but relies on proven dimensions and thus a balanced ride. Despite the 29-inch wheels, extremely short chainstays are installed - so the bike can be maneuvered extremely nimble around corners. Bonus: The wheelie also works better! Should you prefer somewhat spritziger wheels, the geometry of the frame can also be adapted to 27.5-inch wheels by means of a flip chip.

OST+ - Suspension
For perfect suspension performance uphill and downhill provides the Optimized Suspension Technology, which has been continuously refined for over ten years. Meanwhile, in the Plus version, the rear triangle continues to rotate around a virtual pivot point in front of the bottom bracket. The sensitively responsive rear triangle is decoupled by the system from pedal forces. So the suspension does not affect your pedaling - and vice versa!

Equipment
The carbon frame is exactly the same as the one used in the Enduro World Series. As a little treat, it offers a small compartment under the down tube in front of the bottom bracket with space for multitool and hose. The Deore XT always shifts reliably and with the Maxxis tires you are guaranteed not to fly out of the curve.
