The collaboration between Alpine, the French sports car brand, and Lapierre, the cycle manufacturer based in Dijon, continues in 2025.
For this new vintage, Alpine and Lapierre announce the launch of two new special series models: the Xelius DRS SE road bike and the Overvolt GLP SE electric mountain bike.
This dual edition commemorates the 70th anniversary of Alpine. Both bikes share an exclusive design inspired by the “Mercury Silver” color of the new Alpine A390, unveiled at the end of May. They highlight the realm of performance, each in its respective field: road and off-road.
Xelius DRS SE: High-End Road Bike
The Lapierre Xelius DRS SE represents the latest evolution of Lapierre’s performance-oriented road bikes. Priced at 11,000 euros, it features a UD SLI TEAM carbon frame that utilizes high-modulus Toray M40J and M60 fibers for lightness, stiffness, and responsiveness.
It is equipped with the wireless electronic SRAM RED AXS 12-speed groupset, which includes a carbon crankset with an integrated QUARQ power meter. The DT Swiss ERC 1100 wheels feature differentiated rims (35 mm at the front, 45 mm at the rear) and ceramic bearing hubs.
Overvolt GLP SE: Electric Mountain Bike Designed for Competition
The Lapierre Overvolt GLP SE, priced at 12,000 euros, is a variant of the GLP III, stemming from the concept of mass centralization. Its UD SLI TEAM carbon frame comprises over 650 layers of unidirectional fibers, with an asymmetrical architecture that integrates the Bosch Kiox 300 display.
This e-MTB is powered by a Bosch Performance Line CX Race motor, cooled by a ventilated casing. It features an electronic SRAM XO Eagle AXS transmission and an XO AXS T-Type derailleur. Braking is handled by SRAM Maven Silver 4-piston brakes, and the DT Swiss HX1501 wheels enhance steering precision.
These two models reflect a shared approach focused on innovation and performance. By combining their expertise, Alpine and Lapierre offer technical products that fit into a dynamic of development within the high-end segment, at the intersection of design, technology, and the sports world.
