The new Lapierre Aircode DRS: third time is the charm

Lapierre's aero race bike receives its first major overhaul since its inception

The all-new Lapierre Aircode DRS features a radically redesigned frame built around disc brakes, integration and all-round aerodynamic principles. It's already been successfully piloted to several victories under Arnauld Démare and the rest of the Groupama FDJ World Tour squad.

Lapierre has had, by its own admission, a quiet year on the road bike design front. After focussing on its off-road lineup it has now turned its attentions back to the road and the new Aircode DRS is the first of its new designs to come flying out of the gate.
