2021 Lapierre Aircode DRS 8.0 Carbon Road Bike in Red

The new Aircode DRS is the third version of the Lapierre aero road model since the model joined the range in 2014.

As well as a brand-new, more streamlined and sleek design, this new high-speed bike plays with the laws of physics and aerodynamic resistance. It is more rigid and more aerodynamic, featuring disc brakes, as well as more comfortable than the previous model. Meeting all of these criteria seemed an impossible task just a short time ago, but Lapierre's knowledge of carbon construction, discussions with Groupama-FDJ racers, CFD analysis and wind tunnel tests have opened a new chapter for this road bike. The new Aircode DRS marks a new phase of aerodynamic performance, comfort and riding sensation. And Arnaud Démare, the 2020 – and triple – champion of France on the Aircode DRS handlebars, is not going to tell you otherwise!

Are you a thrill-seeker keen to ride an exceptional bike and have one of the lightest and most high-performing aerodynamic road bikes on the market to record your best times yet? The search is over: the Aircode DRS 8.0 offers just that! Lapierre have optimised all the details on this model and chased away grams to make the bike as light as possible where inertia is highest to accentuate the bike’s overall performance. To do so, they opted for Dura-Ace discs while comparative tests led them to choose the best current wheelset for the Aircode DRS: the brand-new DT Swiss ARC 1100 DB wheels weighing just 1472 g in the 50 mm tubeless version. This is the winning duo to maximise overall efficiency. These ultra high-performing wheels are as comfortable on flat roads as undulating routes and, with them, you’ll be surprised as you reach more than 30 kph in ‘recovery’ mode or 40 kph with minimal effort. Like on the Aircode DRS 7.0, this premium model in Ultegra Di2 with a Prologo Dimension Nack saddle and a carbon shell and rails is sold with compatible aero bars with the special Lapierre Aero carbon handlebars.
