Lapierre PRORACE 5.9

The Lapierre PRORACE 5.9 from 2025 is a mountain bike that impresses with its high-quality equipment and competitive price of EUR 1699. The frame of the bike, the Lapierre ProRace AL, is equipped with an IS mount disc brake and offers a solid basis for demanding rides. The brake system consists of Shimano BR-MT500 components with a 180 mm brake disc at the front and a 160 mm brake disc at the rear, which ensure reliable braking performance. The Shimano BL-MT501 brake levers are made of aluminium, which contributes to the durability and low weight of the bike.

The gears are provided by the Shimano Deore XT 12s Shadow+ system, which is equipped with a 12-speed drivetrain. The Shimano SL-M6100 Rapidfire gear lever enables precise and fast gear changes. The fork, a RockShox Judy Gold, offers optimum damping properties for rough terrain with its 100 mm travel and Boost thru-axle. The bottom bracket is a Shimano BB-MT800-PA Press Fit 92, which, together with the Shimano FC-M8120 Deore XT crankset, ensures an efficient drive.

The bike is equipped with a 740 mm wide Lapierre flatbar handlebar, which together with the Lapierre Alloy stem, an A-head model with a 7° angle, ensures a comfortable riding position. The steering is supported by an FSA Orbit headset. The rims are made of aluminium and come from Rodi Tryp 25, while the Maxxis Rekon tyres ensure good grip on various surfaces. The Shimano hubs (TC500 front and FH-TC500 rear) are centre lock models that stand for stability and reliability.

The saddle is a Lapierre model by Velo, mounted on a Lapierre Alloy seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The geometry of the bike is carefully tuned: the reach is 455 mm, the stack 607 mm. The head tube angle is 68 degrees and the seat tube angle is 74 degrees, which supports balanced riding dynamics. Other dimensions such as the head tube length of 100 mm, the chainstay length of 425 mm and the wheelbase of 1142 mm contribute to agile yet stable handling. The PRORACE 5.9 is therefore a versatile mountain bike that is suitable for ambitious riders who value quality and performance.
