Origin
The Overvolt is Lapierre's electric mountain bike family, and it has long partnered with Bosch's most powerful drive units. The current generation centres on the Bosch Performance Line CX — up to 100 Nm of torque and 400% assistance — fed by an 800 Wh removable battery that accepts the Bosch PowerMore range extender. The range splits into all-mountain (AM) builds with 170/160 mm of travel and lighter-duty trail (TR) builds at 140 mm, with a carbon AM CF flagship. A clean integrated cockpit with the Kiox 400C display ties it together.
