Lapierre PRORACE 4.9

The Lapierre PRORACE 4.9 from 2025 is a mountain bike that is an attractive offer for ambitious riders at a price of EUR 1399. The frame of the bike is made from Lapierre ProRace AL and is designed for IS mount disc brakes. The braking system relies on Shimano components, with Shimano BR-MT410 aluminium brakes being used at the front and rear. The front brake disc has a diameter of 180 mm, while the rear disc is slightly smaller at 160 mm. The brake levers, also from Shimano (BL-MT401), are made of aluminium and offer reliable control.

The Sram SX Eagle 12-speed system, which is operated with an NX X-Actuation-SL trigger shifter, takes care of the shifting. The fork of the PRORACE 4.9 is a RockShox Judy Gold with air suspension, which offers 100 mm of travel. The aluminium steerer tube is tapered and the fork has a 15 x 110 mm thru-axle in the Boost standard, which provides additional stability.

The drivetrain is completed by the Sram DUB bottom bracket and the SX Eagle DUB aluminium crankset. The cassette, a Sram PG1210 Eagle, offers a range of 11-50 teeth, which enables versatile adaptation to different types of terrain. The handlebar is a Lapierre flatbar with a width of 720 mm, complemented by Lapierre Grips and an aluminium stem with an angle of 7 degrees.

The wheels consist of Rodi Tryp 25 aluminium rims fitted with Maxxis Rekon tyres. The hubs are from Shimano, TC500 15 x 110 mm at the front and FH-TC500 12 x 148 mm at the rear with centre lock mount. The saddle is a Lapierre by Velo model, mounted on a Lapierre Alloy seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm.

The head tube length is 90 mm and the chainstay length is 425 mm. Other dimensions include a bottom bracket drop of 62 mm, a fork pre-bend of 44 mm and a fork height of 505 mm. The total wheelbase of the bike is 1094 mm, which contributes to balanced handling.
