The engine that is causing the most talk comes to one of the most awarded ranges of this French brand

The new Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 It is, possibly, the engine that has been talked about the most in recent times and, on this occasion, it has come to strengthen one of the Lapierre ranges that has had the most popularity since its inception for combining optimal performance with an acquisition price. relatively low compared to the competition and also to other models from Lapierre itself that mount carbon fiber frames: we are talking about the Overbolt AM 2025.

The aluminum frame has everything you need to succeed

Because, yes, the Overbolt AM has a frame made in Supreme 5 6061 aluminum. And this does not detract from its properties, since it has been given an architecture that ‘drinks’ from the usual behavior of an AllMountain (hence the AM), but which could well, if we so wish, explore harder sections. A direction with an angle of no less than 65º stands out.

And the new Overbolt AM 2025 has a configuration mullet on its wheels (29” front and 27.5” rear) which gives it very stable behavior on downhills but very reactive when curves appear on the trails. And thanks to this ‘mullet’ configuration, its wheelbase (1,248 mm in size M) is quite moderate.

The suspension travel is wide to face technical downhill sections: we are talking about 160 mm at the rear and of 170mm at the front. In addition, the rear suspension system has a ‘flip chip’ with three positions that would allow the new Overbolt AM to be compatible with either 29” or 27.5” wheels, but on both axles, in addition to the aforementioned ‘mullet’ configuration.

Latest batch Bosch motor and two possible batteries

From the new engine Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 We have spoken at length, highlighting the greatest smoothness in power delivery and greater silence of operation. 85 Nm of torque, 600 W of maximum power and a contribution of 340% They are your letter of introduction.

However, at Bosch they assure that the immediacy in the response is more forcefulwhich means that the bicycle can be more ‘catapulted’ if the needs of the terrain require it.

There are two batteries that we can find and that will depend on the finish in question: we are talking about the Bosch PowerTube 600 and 800 Wh. By the way, in the Overbolt AM the battery is removablesomething always welcome.

The Overbolt AM range is extensive, with prices starting from €5,599 of the finish 4.6 and that reach up to €9,000 of the 10.8. In total there are 5 models, which cover (almost) any pocket.
