It uses a full Shimano Ultegra groupset and Mavic Cosmic wheels for £2,999.The Aircode has taken quite a few of its design cues from Lapierre's Aerostorm time trial bike to create a bike that is more efficient out on the road.The headtube has an almost hourglass profile when looked at from the front. With the light weight of the whole bike I never found myself over geared on the steep hills; in fact the Ultimate responded quite well to climbing out of the saddle.Direct mount brakes have been around for a few years but not many manufacturers have really embraced them. We will never sell your data and you'll only get messages from us and our partners whose products and services we think you'll enjoy. And who knows how many ahead (do they have a caravan?). The very light feel is the one thing I've disliked about electronic shifting in the past especially when you are wearing thick winter gloves. by Colin Henrys. Its waist is sucked in as it leaves the 1 1/4-inch bottom headset bearings and then flares out again for the 1 1/8-inch ones at the top. In short, that means the headtube, downtube, bottom bracket and chainstays are oversized to offer a rigid frame with sharp handling and swift acceleration.And that’s barely scratching the surface when it comes to the feature-packed frame, with the more striking feature being the new seatstay-seattube junction.

Christmas was doing its best to relieve me of the last bit of form in my legs too.The geometry of the frame is long and low which allows you to get into a pretty aero, flattish back position for the majority of the ride so you can literally sit there and just tap out the rhythm. This is the part which gives the Lapierre its high level of stiffness.However, Lapierre have gone for a PressFit bottom bracket and the Aircode has seen a lot of rain, salt mud and even snow over the test period which has resulted in some creaking around the bearing cups.The chainstays themselves are massive to resist the forces coming from the pedals but the whole rear end looks as though there is room for a 28mm tyre if you want that option.The frame has provision for internal routing to suit either mechanical or electronic groupsets.

That can translate into twitchiness at slower speeds like working your way through town centre road layouts and traffic. Since writing his first review for road.cc back in 2009 he has also had a career in engineering including 3D-CAD design and product development, so has a real passion for all of the latest technology coming through in the industry but is also a sucker for a classic steel frame, skinny tyres, rim brakes and a damn good paintjob. Whether wet or dry, it was pretty much like riding an alloy rimmed wheel.At around £1,500 the wheels take up a big chunk of the budget but their 40mm deep rims and overall 1,433g weight make them an ideal choice for a bike with the Lapierre's all-rounder sort of attitude.You get a small amount of aero advantage from the rims but they also aren't so deep that you get blown around in strong winds. Lapierre's latest Aircode has seen some tweaks and improvements over previous iterations which follow a mostly aero theme.
