How it compares
On travel, the Lapierre Prorace is right where the “cross-country hardtail” category usually is: 100 mm up front against a median of 100 mm from 46 bikes. Of Lapierre’s mountain bikes, the Lapierre Prorace offers the least travel up front. The frame is available in aluminium or carbon.
Prices for the Lapierre Prorace start at €549 (24 SL), below the category median of €1,450. The top build, CF 7.9, costs €3,299. The fork line-up ranges from the Lapierre Unicrown 24 to the RockShox SID SL Select RL Remote Boost. According to Lapierre, the maximum system weight (bike, rider and kit) is 60 kg.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox Judy TK Crown Adjust QR): the air valve is on top of the left leg under a cap. Change pressure in small steps (about 5 psi (0.34 bar)) and cycle the fork a few times afterwards so the air chambers can equalise.
- Rebound: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Hardtail: without rear suspension, rear tyre pressure largely decides comfort and traction – it is worth testing in 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) steps.
Target SAG for the Lapierre Prorace
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Lapierre take priority.
100 mm fork (1.9, 2.9, 3.9, 4.9, CF 5.9, CF 7.9)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 17 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 20 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 22 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 20 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.40″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Continental Trinotal TrailGrip 55-622; Kenda K-1227X Booster 57-507; Schwalbe Racing Ralph Performance 57-622; XLC VT-M20 Summit 57-622.

Air pressure in the fork
You will find a suitable starting pressure on the sticker on the fork stanchion or in the suspension manufacturers’ setup charts. Our calculator gives you a starting value including rebound for your weight and riding style. What matters afterwards is the measured SAG from the table above.
