Lapierre says "...and so watt
With the SX800, F900, FS700, FS600, FS500 and FS 400 models, Lapierre has a wide range of E-Fullies at the start of the 2016 model year. Ride presents individual bikes from this portfolio in an initial overview:
Overvolt SX800
For the 2016 model year, Lapierre is sending a real beast into the terrain with the SX800 and reviving the forgotten freerider: A full 170 millimetres of suspension travel ensure an extremely forgiving chassis, while a Yamaha motor with a 400 watt-hour battery ensures effortless climbing. 1x11 gears, a dropper seatpost, 27.5-inch wheels and Sram Guide brakes are all ingredients that are well suited to a bike for rough terrain.
Overvolt FS700
Nico Vouilloz had a hand in this: The Rock Shox Pike, a Monarch shock from the same company, Mavic EN323 rims and a 760 millimeter wide Vouilloz signature handlebar are the ingredients that the downhill and enduro legend wanted. Propulsion is provided by the brand new CX Performance Line motor from Bosch, which scores points with 300 percent pedal assistance and a 500 watt-hour battery. The suspension has 140 millimetres of travel and the wheel size is 27.5 inches.
The Overvolt FS600 shares the Swabian company's new motor with the FS700, is otherwise slightly slimmed down for the trails and has to make do with a 400 watt-hour battery compared to the 700 model.
Overvolt FS500 and FS400
Lapierre rounds off the motorized Fully range with the FS500 and FS400 models. Once again, 140 millimetres of travel at the rear and front ensure that the entry-level models are easy to swallow. A Yamaha drive with a 400 watt-hour battery is installed in each case, while the forks are a Fox32 on the 500 and a Rock Shox Recon on the FS400. A dropper post is also always installed on these e-mountainbikes as a matter of course.
