Tour de France 2025 Bikes: Lapierre Xelius DRS Team Picnic PostNL - Review, Pros, Cons, Price
The new Lapierre Xelius DRS of Team Visma | Lease a Bike (formerly Team Jumbo-Visma, now known with the Picnic PostNL sponsorship) stands out with its colors and strong team kit identity. The base color is blueberry, transitioning into lighter, purplish-blue hues.
The Xelius DRS Team Visma | Lease a Bike also features the signature and visual identity of the international Dutch-based team, with two orange stripes on the rear of the seat tube and the "Keep Challenging" slogan on the top tube.
The inside of the fork blades, red with a blue tint, is a clear nod to Picnic, the team's new sponsor. This new racing bike will debut at the AlUla Tour for the men's team and the UAE Tour for the women's team. A fusion of the Xelius SL and Aircode DRS, the new Xelius DRS embodies Lapierre's vision for top-tier performance. Thanks to the unique 3D Tubular concept design, the aerodynamic front silhouette, and the optimized cockpit curves, this bike has what it takes to win.
It's a highly refined and meticulously assembled bike, yet it's also a perfect replica of the racing bike regularly available for sale.
Given the carbon wheels, the price is expected to exceed 18,000 euros.
Assembled with the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and carbon fiber wheels, it remains a versatile, stiff, and lightweight bike. It's excellent on climbs, with a weight at the UCI limit, but it's also stiff and fast on flat stages. This is a high-performance bike for all types of terrain.
As with all teams, great attention has been paid to correctly positioning the athlete on the saddle to ensure biomechanically efficient pedaling.
Just as much attention is given to controlling the smoothness of all moving parts: the wheels, bottom bracket, and chain. Perfect tuning and accurate checks before every race allow the athletes to always have a bicycle performing at its best.
