Lapierre and Team Picnic PostNL prolonged their collaboration in 2026 after a successful first season. They reaffirmed their ambitions to excel at the highest level of international road cycling for both women and men.

The new Xélius DRS Team Bike features an exclusive silvery glitter clearcoat finish that highlights the raw carbon fibre structure of the frame. It gives the bike a distinctive, high-end look.

According to Lapierre, the 2026 Xélius DRS features a new carbon lay-up developed in its Advanced UD Factory Lab, said to reduce weight while improving overall responsiveness. The fork has been redesigned and is deeper and aerodynamically optimized.

For fans and performance-oriented riders, a limited-edition Xélius DRS Team Replica will go on sale in May, featuring the same colour scheme as the official team bike. At this point it is not clear if the assembly and price will be the same as the regular Xélius DRS 9.0 model (see https://cyclonista.com/lapierre-xelius-drs-9-0-2026/).
