Pro Bike Build Team Groupama FDJ I Custom Lapierre Xelius SL I Anthony Roux Tour de France roadbike

Anthony Roux from the Groupama-FDJ team rides the Tour de france 2021 on the new Lapierre Xelius SL. We had the opportunity to be part of the custom build of the professional roadbike. In the road bike channel pro bike build video you can see step by step how to build the lightweight Lapierre carbon road bike for the Tour de France. The Lapierre Xelius SL bike from Team Groupama FDJ is driven by a Shimano Dura Ace Di2 electric drivetrain. The Tour de France bike rolls on Shimano Dura Ace carbon wheels and Continental tires for racing use. Hydraulic Shimano Dura Ace disc brakes bring the Lapierre bike to a standstill in the Tour de France race. The top bike of the professional cycling team comes in an exclusive custom setup. In this dream build, the lightweight Lapierre road bike creates a dream of a bike for the best in the world. The team edition Lapierre racing bike is aerodynamic, super light and fast on the Tour de France track. Among the team riders of Groupama-FDJ, the Lapierre Xelius SL is one of the best bikes in the world to score points at the Tour de France. At the end of the setup video, it's Newbikeday for the road bike rouleur and puncher Anthony Roux.

Bikes seem to be becoming so complicated these days. Yes, I know that tech moves on and improves but sometimes I long to go back to the time when bikes were just simple, beautiful objects that were easy to set up and maintain myself. I know that retro bikes are available but they're very much a niche market. That said, this bilke is definitely a beautiful object.

[@troisminutesdumans7650]

weird satisfaction seeing pro bike actually heavier than mine

[@franzferdinand.bavaria]

especially when you think about that it's probably twice as expensive as your own bike

[@albertparera4961]

Happens the same to me!

[@Mesofs9]

Same here, mine is from 2013. Some parts are even shimano 105. Bike industry BS makes you believe we need disc brakes🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@franzferdinand.bavaria]

All these integrated wires and tubes are giving me nightmares when I think about fixing issues on the bike by myself

[@iMadrid11]

Unlike mechanical cables. It’s highly unlikely you’ll ever get to replace a Di2 electronic cables or junction box. Since the electronic cables has no moving parts. The only thing you’ll service regularly is topping up the hydraulic fluids. The Di2 battery when it eventually degrades.

[@roadbikechannel]

Internal cable routing for sure is a matter of taste. It gives you a very clean look though ;). If you're more into classic cable routing this might suit you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6GtmGicntyCjbc

[@andrewmurray5542]

I agree!!

[@matthieumichon8400]

Nice build and thanks for the part list! Surprised to see a "standard issue" di2 battery, I would have expected a lighter one (i.e a smaller or even a non rechargeable).

with pedal.

[@CheloCycling]

excellent video, does anyone know where I can get that handlebar? It is not on Lapierre's website and I really want to buy it, is it produced by Lapierre or another brand? If anyone has any information that would be great, thanks.

[@kkirachan6]

i like that Cockpit: Lapierre UD Carbon stem/bars unit, where i can find it?

[@bisma_anugerah28]

keren pooll

[@aelaeks]

Thanks for the nice video... brought me though a particularly nasty zwifting session ;) I actually got a Xelius Frameset myself. Do you have any building manual? Because mine came with just the usual useless general bike manual, but with zero instructions on how to build the bike up (sequence, torque settings and so on) and apparently the vendor doesnt have one either. I wrote to Lapierre but they have not replied so far and I am starting to get a bit frustrated. So any help would be much appreciated!

[@Nicky458itl]

supernice frame except that's sound like misalignment bb.

[@lf4951]

It pains me to think about all those Di2 wires rattling around inside the frame and stem.

[@Thetoad738]

I wish they sold this bike in the US

[@wongkaman491]

may I asking for the brand of direct mount derailleur hanger ? I have a aircode FDJ 2021 and I am searching for it

[@stevensantana8049]

Wow the rear wheel with disc brake weighs 1427.5 grams that combines with almost two Tim wheels rear and front..

[@SHODANEK]

Please.. what is part no. battery holder (housing) is? thank you.. (if i change from mechanical to Di2 group set) thank you...

Lovely bike , but not at all impressed by the spin test at the cranks - came to a stop very quickly !

[@eliteharrington7377]

What's the name of the apparatus used to establish saddle height / fore and aft ???

[@roadbikechannel]

It's a bike-fitting tool by bikesetting.com ;)

[@eliteharrington7377]

@@roadbikechannel thanks for the info. I have no intention of purchasing one since I'm just a recreational cyclist. Seeing you use that tool for a precise set up put a smile on my face, because it'll take me some time to get my fitting correct as all I have access to is a measuring tape and a plum Bob 🤭🥴 God bless.

[@yonglingng5640]

@@eliteharrington7377 This is usually used by pro cycling teams as they need to build lots of bikes for lots of riders and they can't keep calling for the pros for a bike fit every time a new unit of theirs is built. So they just use their latest bike fit data and this rig to set up their fit for every new bike built. This equipment is not targeted at individual consumers.

[@LarryLaio]

when could be the frame bought?

[@nicholasyong6415]

Heard that is around next year

[@roadbikechannel]

Not sure about this one. You'll probably have to ask your local Lapierre dealer ;)...

[@laxbro281]

So pretty but im too broke and heavy

[@roadbikechannel]

Great you like it! :)

[@romanarnold4064]

You really should address the bottom bracket issue in a comment; talk to the company about it or something as it reflects badly on the company if they can’t get something right on a bike for a pro rider. I would expect some slop in the tolerances occasionally but if it’s for a pro just like electronics you tend to bin them.

[@roadbikechannel]

Some true words there. Power loss in the bottom bracket is a serious thing. Personally I think it's interesting to see how the pro teams deal with it (or don't ;)).

[@Numeriwar]

I cant believe they re still stuck with 11spd and wire

[@roadbikechannel]

Seems to work for them ;).

[@Nicky458itl]

When 12th speed 10 tooth cost you about 6 watt more in new top clean well lube condition and even worse in other condition, Why gonna need that?

[@simonpierredegroote7436]

L' UCI a une limite a 6.8 et lapierre est incapable de sortir un velo à ce poids là. Je roule sur SL 7.0 mais je ne comprend pas pourquoi il ne cherche pas a resoudre l'equation

[@xGshikamaru]

Parce qu'il y a plus important, l'aérodynamisme et la rigidité notamment valent plus de calories économisés que quelques centaines de grammes, surtout aux vitesses auxquelles roulent les pros.

[@lestestoterone5292]

Can you price all the parts and total

[@roadbikechannel]

Hmm... that's hard to tell. The complete bike equipped with Dura Ace is 7.299,- EUR: www.lapierrebikes.com/de-de/o/xelius-sl-90-disc/ The Team-Edition might be more expensive though ;)...

[@lestestoterone5292]

@@roadbikechannel Ok love you vids

[@Mesofs9]

Wow, but not in a good way. What happened with the bearings in the BB? Mine is spinning better with the chain connected 🙈🙈🙈 Also weighing the components of the bike. Come on its a disc brake it wont be light. Look at the weight of the wheels! 😯😯😯😯

[@roadbikechannel]

Lighter might be possible - but this is the way the Tour de France pros ride their bikes ;).

quel bordel ! c est facile a reparer sur la route tout ca?c etait bien plus simple avant pour le changement de vitesse,et il y a la voiture suiveuse quand on achete ce velo? njoylife
