Competition Heritage with French Precision

Lapierre is a name that carries deep cycling tradition in France. With over 70 years of history, Cycles Lapierre is one of Europe’s most iconic bike manufacturers. Born in Dijon and rooted in racing culture, Lapierre has consistently been ahead of its time — especially in innovation and performance.

Back in the 1980s, Lapierre was one of the first brands to spot the rising trend of mountain biking, giving them an edge in developing advanced MTB suspension systems. This forward-thinking approach helped establish the brand as a leader in off-road cycling.

In 2001, Lapierre launched the X-Control, a milestone MTB model featuring the innovative FPS suspension system, with a vertical rear shock. French cyclist Jérôme Chiotti won the national cross-country title on it, proving Lapierre’s dominance in high-performance mountain bikes.

The following year, Lapierre entered the Tour de France by sponsoring the Française des Jeux team. Riders like Bradley McGee, who won the World Time Trial Championship, and Jean-Christophe Péraud, who secured the Cross-Country European title, helped elevate Lapierre’s reputation in both road and mountain competitions.

Lapierre has since supported some of the biggest names in cycling, including Francis Mourey, Loïc Bruni, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Sabrina Enaux, and triathlete Audrey Cleau — all of whom have earned national and international victories riding Lapierre bikes.

What Makes Lapierre Bikes Special?

One of the defining traits of Lapierre bikes is their manual assembly process. At the company’s factory in Dijon, every bike is hand-assembled, and each technician completes a quality checklist to ensure full traceability. This approach — inspired by practices in the automotive industry — guarantees consistent control over production standards.

In 2006, marking its 60th anniversary, Lapierre introduced a folding MTB, and shortly after, became the first bike brand to offer custom builds online. Customers could configure their road bikes by selecting individual components and specifications directly through Lapierre’s website.

Lapierre continues to focus heavily on innovation. In 2012, they partnered with RockShox to develop the E:i Shock, an electronic suspension system that reads terrain and adapts in real-time based on pedaling cadence — adjusting automatically in milliseconds for optimum performance.

The brand has also invested in electric bikes through its Overvolt range, offering high-performance e-bikes designed for both mountain trails and urban mobility.
