How it compares
Up front the Lapierre Spicy runs 180 mm – 10 mm more than the 170 mm median we calculated from 41 bikes in the “enduro bike” category. Among Lapierre’s mountain bikes, the Lapierre Spicy is the model with the most fork travel. The frame is made of carbon.
With a starting price of €5,499 (CF 6.9), the Lapierre Spicy is above the category median (€4,750). For the CF Team build, Lapierre asks €10,000. The fork line-up ranges from the RockShox ZEB Select Charger RC Boost to the RockShox ZEB Ultimate Flight Attendant Boost. According to Lapierre, the maximum system weight (bike, rider and kit) is 120 kg. Wheel sizes differ by build or frame size: 27.5 / 29.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (RockShox ZEB Select Charger RC Boost): 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 FOX and 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 Spicy
The table converts the recommended SAG percentages into millimetres, so you can check them with the O-ring directly on the stanchion. Adjust the air pressure until the value is right. If Lapierre specifies its own target SAG for your model, that takes priority.
180 mm fork (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 31 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 36 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 40 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 36 mm |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
The values apply to 2.40″ wide tubeless tyres with a trail casing. With an inner tube add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi), with an insert take off about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi). Stock tyres: Continental Kryptotal-F Enduro SuperSoft foldable skin SL 60-584; Continental Kryptotal-F Enduro SuperSoft foldable skin SL 60-622.

| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
The sticker on the fork and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
