Lapierre’s new Aircode is the French brand’s first offering in the aero road category, replacing the long-standing Xelius as the flagship in its road range. Befitting that status, the Lapierre-sponsored FDJ.fr riders spent the 2014 season campaigning extensively aboard prototypes of the Aircode, giving feedback while racking up an impressive record. Nacer Bouhanni sprinted to three stage wins and the points jersey at the Giro, while Thibaut Pinot climbed on to third place at the Tour aboard one. The results showcase the Aircode’s versatility.

The latest composite, Pinarello says, could save 80 g on the old frame.
