New Features
The new 2018 Lapierre Overvolt integrated Shimano eBikes offer superb looks and riding characteristics, while keeping the battery stealthily tucked away in the frame and an even centre of gravity.
The 'Snake Tech' battery is bendy and can easily be charged both on the bike or removed from the frame completely. Whilst a fighter jet style push button on top of the top tube turns the bike on and off.
The Lapierre AM 927i is spec'd with Fox Float 36 forks, offering 160mm travel, full lockout / trail adjust and now come with the Boost axle setup for increased stiffness and superb handling.
The Overvolt 927i comes with the top spec Fox Float DPX2 rear shock with lever actuated Open, Medium and Firm modes for full trail adjust-ability.
Both Fox forks and shock on the top spec Overvolt 927i are Factory series with Kashima coating, more adjustment on the forks and the shock comes with 10 clicks of open mode adjustment, alongside air compression and rebound controls.
All the Overvolt Shimano AM models are built on new 27+ wheels for 2018. What's PLUS all about? This revelation hitting the cycling industry by storm offer a wider 2.8" broader tyre for ultimate traction, comfort & grip. Without compromising on rolling resistance.
Lapierre use the Sram Guide RE eBike specific brakes for the Overvolt in 2018. These twin piston beauty's offer 15% more power than the standard Guide disc brake.
Now you can ascend faster than ever before and of course with the 4 pot brakes on larger rotors, bring your eBike to a stop just as fast when descending!
Each of the 2018 Overvolt AM Shimano integrated models can be special ordered in the 29" wheel format too if required.
Please contact us for this as we will only be stocking the 27.5" versions, the 29" specific versions will come with 140mm travel.
The 2018 Overvolt AM models are equipped with Lapierre's own internal stealth dropper seat post. You can raise & lower the seat at the flick of a switch on the handlebars, whilst on the move. Thus adjustable for both uphill and downhill riding with minimal effort.
Lapierre have integrated Shimano XT Di2 electric shifting into the Overvolt 927i so the complete gear system is powered and controlled off the Shimano Steps system itself.
This clever setup means that this is the worlds first electric mountain bike to fully implement the Di2 automatic shifting to combine and all-in-one system perfect for any trail biker.
The Di2 electronic shifting means maximum control and gear changes in an instant. Long gone are old cables, inner and outer hoses. Now the drive train is controlled with eShift!
The integrated battery and fully electronic shifting makes the Overvolt 927i the top spec model and the most interesting in the 2018 range. Aside from the great aesthetics this eBike offers, it's silky smooth Kashima coated shocks and top spec components make it a winner all round for 2018!
Shimano Steps E8000 eMTB System
Lapierre have developed the new range of Overvolt eBikes to offer the Shimano E8000 eMTB system. Lapierre use Shimano's renowned motor drive system, but have developed their own battery technology called 'Snake Power Technology'. This is Lapierre's own exclusive design.
The new Shimano Steps system has been developed specifically around eMTBing and offers a long range 500Wh battery which Lapierre have fully integrated into the Overvolt 927i down tube offering stealth fitment and a lower centre of gravity. The battery is actually 'bendy' so it only needs a small port to get the battery in and out. It's a Lapierre specific integration and also increases frame rigidity.
Alongside a newly developed 2018 MTB drive unit capable of assisting up to 70Nm of torque to the rider and operating up to high cadence RPM ranges. The assistance outputs are adjustable as the rider can set and change the assistance mode whilst riding on the fly with 3 options – Eco, Trail & Boost visible on the LCD display panel.
