Lapierre Prorace CF 8.9 Shimano Deore XT 12S 2025
If there was only one
If there was only one mountain bike to fly over the tracks and win, it would be the Lapierre Prorace CF 8.9. This semi-rigid cross-country mountain bike belongs to the elite and demonstrates impressive power on gravel. Why? Because the light carbon frame, perfectly optimised on the seat tube (based on 3D Technology), redefines the machine's responsiveness. At high speed, the bike never slows down: the kinematics have been designed to accelerate constantly and to increase pedalling strength. Ride on the trails to your heart's content at extraordinary speed! Every component has been optimised on version 8.9 of the Prorace CF. First, the Fox 32 Float SC suspension fork and its 100 mm of travel, whose cushioning and reliability considerably boost riding sensations. Then the wheels, with Lapierre XC SL 29-inch in carbon, with ideal weight/power ratio. The Raceface cockpit is also part of this ultra-light winning combination. This overall synergy helps to provide the extra power needed to win the race!
3D Technology
Like the Xelius SL road bikes, the Prorace has 3D Technology patented by Lapierre. Located in the seat tube, this redefines the rigidity of the rear triangle while improving overall responsiveness. This carbon frame is made to go fast.
Carbon components
With the CF initials for Carbon Frame, the bike displays its colours in terms of components. The frame use this ultra-light material made for competing. Thanks to high efficiency and responsiveness at all times, steering is improved. Including in tricky conditions!
Reliable Shimano Deore 12v groupset
