All-new Lapierre Pulsium endurance bike is lighter, more aero and more aggressive

Lapierre says that its all-new fourth generation Pulsium endurance bike is designed to be more sporty and race-oriented than its predecessor. The new Pulsium has a more aggressive geometry and is claimed to be lighter and more aero, as well as adding greater vertical compliance.

Ever since the first generation in 2012, the Pulsium has incorporated Lapierre’s triangulated seatpost cluster, in which the seatstays connect to the top tube rather than the seat tube, with the aim of increasing compliance. 

In the previous generations, the seatstays incorporated an elastomer block, but in the new bike, the SAT elastomer is absent. Instead, the design mirrors the 3D Tubular design also seen in the latest update of the Xelius DRS lightweight/aero bike, which was launched last month and which merges Lapierre’s Xelius lightweight and Aircode aero platforms.
