Expirience with the Lapierre Prorace CF 8.9

Ludwig Döhl The futuristic design makes the Prorace CF 8.9 stand out amongst the crowd of Cross Country Hardtails. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Lapierre Hardtail is a very balanced customer. The seating position is sporty. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent.
