The wind, this natural element that challenges cyclists and pushes them to their  limit. Fighting and fighting again against this invisible force that slows them down, breaks their speed and their morale. But when the gust is tamed, it leads you to new heights of performance. It is this DNA that the new Xelius DRS embodies to perfection. This bike – which is a fusion of the two Xelius SL and Aircode DRS models – does not play with the wind, it faces it, challenges it and makes the most of it.

In the wind tunnel, the figures are clear: aerodynamics are 15% better by comparison to its predecessors. In watts, excellence is confirmed with up to 15 watts saved at high speed on the flat. And in a race? This new speedster crowned Cassandre Beaugrand at the Olympic Games. And will continue to take every rider's performance to the heights!
In 2025, Team Picnic‑PostNL secured multiple world tour victories with the Lapierre Xelius DRS! Mara Roldan won Stage 2 of the Tour of Britain Women after a solo attack up the infamous saltburn bank, aided by the bike’s weight and power transfer. In the Giro d’Italia, Casper van Uden sprinted to victory on Stage 4, benefiting from the DRS’s aerodynamics and sprint-ready stiffness. The Xelius DRS proved to be a true all-rounder, helping riders convert tactical moves into standout wins across varied terrain.
