Lapierre Special Offer Spicy 216 2010 - Full Suspension Mountain Bike Full Suspension Mountain Bikes Over pound 1000 Lapierre Special Offer Lapierre Spicy 216. Please note any online voucher codes will not be accepted on this bike. The Spicy 216 is a lightweight enduro specific bike which offers an exceptional level of control over rough terrain while still offering an efficient power transfer to help you save energy. DH- Freeride & Enduro MTB- By Lapierre Created with Nicolas Vouilloz and the Lapierre powered by Saab Salomon Team- the Big Mountain range (DH- Free Ride- Enduro) welcomed last year the enduro bike Spicy- the DH 920- and in 2009 the new freeride bike Froggy. In this specific and demanding niche- our OST and FPS2 technologies- approved by Lapierre's exceptional riders- and their super light MTB frames work wonders. Whether you are riding a MTB or a road bike- comfort and efficiency first come from a frame that is adapted to the cyclist’s morphology Shorter top tube A more compact frame to get on / off the bike easier A smaller and lighter frame that gives the best position while riding while distributing your weight evenly on the bike- so as to optimize every pedal stroke OST Technology The OST patented system is based on a virtual pivot point- but with remarkably enhanced performance for long-travel bikes. The goal of OST was to create the ultimate all-mountain bike with the perfect lightweight blend of universality- performance- and optimized geometry- for total riding pleasure. The Lapierre technology dedicated to freeride- enduro- and all mountain riding. With OST (Optimized Suspension Technology)- Lapierre has created an intelligent suspension platform dedicated to long-travel bikes. Like the FPS2 technology- OST is based on a patented virtual pivot point system. But OST has proved to offer superior performance for bikes using more than 130mm of rear travel and a front Derailleur. An optimized geometry for smooth steering and total pleasure. With OST- Lapierre has created extremely versatile and lightweight mountain bikes. OST is available in 2010 on the Zesty (140mm of rear travel)- the Spicy (160mm) and the Froggy (180mm). Although these three models are designed for different types of riding- they are all at ease on any type of mountain terrain. The Lapierre models using OST technology provide intense sensations- pedalling efficiency- and total riding pleasure for all types of riders. The patented OST® suspension platform is based on a virtual pivot point system that fights against pedal kick-back. The two main characteristics of the system are. An equilibrium point that takes into account the weight of the rider. A counteraction proportional to any force potentially produced by pedal bob- thus eliminating it. OST® innovations - new linkage positioning and angles. The trajectory of the virtual pivot point is horizontal and moves towards the front. This structure procures a different curve than with FPS2 but the same stability when pedalling and is especially advantageous for long-travel bikes with a front Derailleur. How Does It Work As with FPS2- any force created by pedal bob is counteracted by pedalling: the tension created in the chain by a pedal stroke will bring the rear swing arm back to its equilibrium point- although the suspension remains active for shocks coming from the ground. If the rear shock is properly adjusted to the weight of the rider- the efficiency and performance are optimal. £1199.99 + Add to my saved list
