This is the bike you’ll be riding for the week.
Available to rent for the full duration of your Slipstream Adventures holiday, it will be fully set up and waiting for you when you arrive, and ready for every ride through to your final day.
No bike boxes, no travel stress, no rebuilding or adjusting after a flight. Just turn up, get fitted, and ride.
We’ve chosen and upgraded this bike specifically for our trips. A ride that delivers the perfect blend of natural road feel and seamless endurance capability, ensuring you conquer the biggest climbs with confidence.
We’ve always believed the bike you ride shapes the whole experience of the week—and sometimes, you want a machine that levels the playing field so you can focus entirely on the scenery and the achievement.
This is why we’ve added the Lapierre E-Sensium to our fleet, finished in a stunning, custom matte lavender and gold Slipstream colourway.
This isn't a bulky, heavy moped. It is a premium endurance road bike featuring a discreet, lightweight hub motor system designed to complement your effort, not replace it. It looks sleek, rides like a traditional road bike, and gives you that extra push exactly when you need it.
The E-Sensium is built around the concept of natural assistance.
The motor doesn't take full control or pull you along; instead, it gently amplifies your own pedalling power. When you hit a steep Alpine switchback or a relentless incline, the assistance kicks in smoothly to take the sting out of the gradient.
The Range: You can comfortably expect 60–70km of assisted riding on a single charge.
Go Further: Because the system is incredibly efficient and cuts out smoothly on the flat when you exceed the assistance limit, you can squeeze out even more distance depending on your fitness and how you manage the power modes.
While the stock factory bike comes with entry-level components, we’ve completely overhauled our rental fleet to meet high-performance standards:
Shimano 105 Groupset: We have upgraded the entire drivetrain to a full Shimano 105 mechanical groupset. This ensures crisp, precise, and dependable 11-speed shifting that seasoned road cyclists expect.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Paired with Shimano 105 hydraulic calipers, giving you absolute control and immense stopping power on long, technical mountain descents.
Every bike is meticulously maintained and set up before you arrive so you can get straight out riding.
Sizing Options: Optimized geometry for a comfortable, upright endurance riding position.
Pedals: SPD, SPD-SL, or flat pedals included—or bring your own and we will fit them.
Saddle: We’ll fit a comfortable endurance saddle as standard, but if you have a personal favourite you love, bring it along and our mechanics will install it for you.
Because everyone deserves to experience the magic of the high mountains without the fear of running out of legs.
You’re here for big climbs, epic alpine loops, and breathtaking terrain. You need a bike that’s:
Supportive enough to flatten out the toughest peaks.
Lightweight enough to handle beautifully like a true acoustic road bike.
Comfortable enough for back-to-back long days in the saddle.
The Lapierre E-Sensium does all three, flawlessly.
