Expirience with the Lapierre Zesty AM CF 8.9

Ludwig Döhl In terms of riding in alpine terrain, the Zesty AM CF 8.9 is an absolute banger. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Lapierre. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Lapierre Fully wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. In the price range under 8000 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. Nevertheless, before making a purchase decision, you should not forget: for 6399 Euro Lapierre delivers an extremely good suspension.
