However in 2025 the 4th era carbon Lapierre Pulsium is able to get again to racing as a lighter and extra aerodynamic street bike with race-tuned geometry. Whereas on the identical time, nonetheless managing to ship even higher rider consolation to tackle the longest days within the saddle.
2025 Lapierre Pulsium carbon endurance all-road bike
Lapierre says they will ship each consolation AND efficiency, good for riders taking over their first gran fondo and for racers tackling longest ultra-distance occasions. Oh, and 100g lighter than earlier than, whereas sustaining affordability!
It’s been greater than a decade since the primary Pulsium debuted the elastomer-damped SAT suspension idea on the street. We caught up with FDJ on their additional refined 2nd gen bikes at Paris Roubaix in 2017, earlier than Lapierre dialed again the race-readiness with a extra amateur-focused third era.
However now Lapierre takes the Pulsium again to its racing roots.
What’s new?
100g lighter. 5% extra aero. 5.5% extra vibration damping.
Lapierre now updates their endurance bike with the lighter 3D Tubular design from their race bikes, bypassing seatstays across the seattube to higher isolate the rider from low-frequency (50Hz) vibration vs. the heavier SAT elastomer resolution.
Plus, the mix of flexstays, 3D Tubular building, and a spherical 27.2mm seatpost create an all-around extra supple really feel on the saddle, at each low & excessive driving speeds.
Extra aero, too!
After all, aerodynamic optimization is in all places nowadays. And endurance street means longer occasions out, driving solo within the wind, even when at decrease than professional racing speeds. So, Lapierre tweaked the brand new Pulsium to make it sooner the place they might.
“Aero isn’t at all times all the pieces, however it’s a efficiency issue that our engineers couldn’t neglect or put aside.”
The 2025 Pulsium inherits aero headtube and fork leg shaping from the latest Xelius DRS to easy airflow over the entrance of the brand new endurance street bike. Lapierre says it makes this new bike “5% extra aero” vs. the 2021 Pulsium. And meaning a 6.1W financial savings at 50kph, or in actual phrases 4 seconds saved each 10km. Or nonetheless 2.1W financial savings at a extra reasonable 35kph pace, which truly means much more – 5 seconds saved each 10km.
These marginal features add up when you find yourself out on the street longer.
All-new race-ready geometry
With extra of a deal with pace, Lapierre additionally fine-tuned endurance geometry for a “sportier” really feel, whereas preserving it “accessible to all newbie cyclists”.
The largest shift was to lower Stack between 9-19mm for riders on the lookout for a decrease, extra aero match on the bike. Plus, barely longer Attain on the smaller sizes to restrict toe overlap with large tires and enhance stability. So, Stack:Attain ratios are a bit extra aggressive however nonetheless in a impartial vary. And nowhere near their full-on Xelius DRS, SL3 & Aircode race bike household.
The brand new Pulsium additionally flattens its toptubes a bit and includes a 1/2° steeper seattube. Plus, Lapierre additionally provides a sixth new XXL dimension for taller riders, too.
