Zipp (United States) - The new LAPIERRE ZIPP COLLECTIVE enduro team is a merging of passion and performance, all built around the mission of achieving speed.

Just one year after launching its moto-inspired enduro wheelset, the 3ZERO MOTO, ZIPP has joined forces with the fastest athletes on the trail, EWS stars Isabeau Courdurier and current World Champ, Adrien Dailly. The team also includes rider and content manager Chloé Gallean. The new Lapierre Spicy is a perfecting pairing with 3ZERO MOTO, SRAM AXS Eagle drivetrain, and RockShox suspension. ZIPP’s single-wall design in the 3ZERO MOTO provides the durability and control to achieve pure trail speed.

“Surrounding yourself with the right people is important and I only wanted to join another team if they could give me more confidence and help me progress technically, but without taking themselves too seriously,” Courdurier said. “A terrific little bike, strong teammates, two teams that are now one… The Lapierre ZIPP Collective is here! And I’m even prouder because Lapierre decided to include two girls in its ranks.”

Dailly, who rode the 3ZERO MOTO to its first EWS podium finish, added:

“After two difficult seasons battling to recover from my elbow injury which still bothers me, I am more motivated than ever to turn the page and make a comeback on the EWS stage. What’s more, the arrival of Isabeau and Cédric and the overhaul of the outfit should strengthen the team spirit and breathe new life and energy into a team that was already great, but which, like those before, was among the ‘small EWS teams.’ One thing is for sure though, having the 2019 World Champion on our team should give us a boost and make us, more than ever, a team to watch out for…. I would like to say a big thank you to Lapierre for continuing to believe in me, despite being one arm down, and to the people at ZIPP/SRAM/RockShox for their energy and the resources they put in, not to mention all the other team sponsors of course, without whom none of this would be possible.”

Gallean’s focus will be on competition and communication… “That is why I will be at every EWS race…. Having Isa with us is a great plus; her professional and competitive streak will help the team develop, that is for sure.”

“For ZIPP, this new team is all about furthering our mission of making you faster. Just a year after launching the 3ZERO MOTO, we’re thrilled to be part of this EWS Dream Team and to partner with Lapierre,” said ZIPP Brand Manager Declan Doyle.
