01

Origin

The Sensium is Lapierre's endurance road bike, built around a 100% carbon frame and fork that strike a balance between comfort and light weight. Its concave seatstays attach directly to a slightly curved top tube to flex vertically and improve traction, while a 27.2 mm seatpost and a slightly more upright position bring all-day comfort. Offered across builds from Tiagra up to Shimano 105, with an electric e-Sensium variant, it targets riders who want sporty road performance without a punishing race position.
