Lemond. The Tour de France-winning, aerobar-pioneering maverick has reinvented himself with an eponymous bike brand that at this point in time, is all about the ebike. Super light and sleek ebikes with integrated lighting and their own unique style.
After unveiling the Dutch, and then the Prolog, Lemond has now introduced the All-Road Prolog. The newest bike looks to be simply a different build for the existing Prolog frame, incorporating drop bars and bigger all-road tires. The original Prolog was already incredibly light at 26lbs, so the All-Road version gets a bit heavier thanks to the bigger tires and heavier bars, but it’s still a featherweight compared to other ebikes at 28lbs.
Fitted with a Shimano GRX 1×11 drivetrain , the All-Road relies on a carbon dropbar for rider positioning. At the tires, the All-Road bumps up to 700c x 43mm Panaracer Gravelking SK from the 38mm tires found on the Prolog.Available in three colors, Matte Blanc, Noir, and Rosa, the bike starts at $5,995. Further upgrades are available for Di2 shifting and an LC30 wheel upgrade . Bikes will ship in the USA in 1-2 weeks.
