How it compares
At 120–130 mm, fork travel is 15 mm shorter than the median of the “trail bike” category (140 mm, 44 bikes). Within Lapierre’s mountain bikes, it sits between the Lapierre XRM and the Lapierre Zesty CF on travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
Prices for the Lapierre Zesty TR start at €2,299 (3.7), below the category median of €3,000. For the 5.9 build, Lapierre asks €3,399. The fork line-up ranges from the Suntour Raidon 32 RLR DS 15x110 to the FOX Rhythm 34 Float Remote 2 Pos 15x110. Lapierre gives a maximum system weight of 120 kg for bike, rider and luggage combined. Depending on build or size, the wheels are 27.5 / 29.
Setup notes for this spec
- Air fork (Marzocchi Bomber Z2 15x110): 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 Marzocchi 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 Zesty TR
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.
120 mm fork (3.7, 3.9)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 20 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 24 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 26 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 24 mm |
130 mm fork (4.9, 5.9)
| Riding style | Fork SAG |
|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 22 mm |
| Trail | 20 % = 26 mm |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 29 mm |
| Bike park | 20 % = 26 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: Maxxis Ardent, EXO, TR 62-584; Maxxis Ardent, EXO, TR 62-622; Schwalbe Nobby Nic Performance TLE 62-622.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.43 bar (21 psi) | 1.63 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.55 bar (22 psi) | 1.75 bar (25 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.67 bar (24 psi) | 1.87 bar (27 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.79 bar (26 psi) | 1.99 bar (29 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.91 bar (28 psi) | 2.11 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.03 bar (29 psi) | 2.23 bar (32 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.15 bar (31 psi) | 2.35 bar (34 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork
You will find a guide value for air pressure on the fork sticker or in the suspension makers’ charts. Our calculator also takes riding style and rebound into account. In the end, measured SAG is what counts.
