Thats a cracking bike for the money. Always enjoyed my EZesty and Lapierre have a very good reputation for good all round bikes.

I’ve got fond memories of Lapierre bikes having spent a lot of time on one in the Austrian mountains back in the day.

I really don’t need another MTB, but I’m tempted! 😀😂

My order goes in on Monday with C2W scheme - whilst not the best components, getting that level of spec for £2,500 (less 40% on C2W scheme voucher) is a complete no-brainer for me. I'm a casual rider (Whinlatter red is about my limit) and TBH, don't need a £5k+ bike so this should be great for me (replacing my first eMTB Cube 160). If I need to spend a few hundred over the next couple of years upgrading components, still cracking value.

Arrived and tested - all good!
Battery is removable and chargeable on or off the bike - bonus.

Looks really good that does 👍
How is the sizing? How tall are you and what size did you go for?
I'm 5'10" with a 31" inside leg and as the size chart suggested I went for Large. Only did a 9 mile test and it felt OK size wise. My Focus Jam2 is a medium and the Lapierre is taller at the front (maybe the front wheel being 29" contributes) so it did feel taller at the front when on the bike, but any fears were put to rest. I did need to drop the dropper post virtually right down so if your inside leg is less than 31 it may well be too big.
An initial observation is I had a few pedal strikes. I've put some more air in the shock to see if that improves things. If not, may well look at shorter crank arms.
