Overvolt GLP III 2025
How current the bike is — newer chassis, motor and battery score higher. 10 = brand-new, 0 = legacy.
The Overvolt GLP III is Lapierre's e-enduro race weapon, built around an aluminium frame with a four-bar Horst-link layout, 173mm of rear travel and a 170mm fork. The mullet wheel setup, a 64-degree head angle and a steep 77-degree effective seat tube put it firmly in the bike-park and enduro-racing camp, while the short 440mm chainstay across every size is aimed at keeping things playful.
All three builds share the same Bosch power unit family. The Team and SE run the Bosch Performance CX Race motor; the Elite drops to the standard Performance Line CX. All carry the same 800Wh removable Bosch PowerPack and the KIOX 300 display, so range and assistance feel are consistent across the range.
On value, the Team at GBP 11,144 buys RockShox ZEB Ultimate and Vivid Ultimate suspension, SRAM X0 AXS T-Type wireless shifting, carbon eAM+ wheels and a claimed 23.4kg weight. The SE at GBP 10,698 swaps to Fox Factory 38 and Float X Factory damping with the same X0 AXS drivetrain and DT Swiss HX1501 wheels. The Elite at GBP 7,599 is the clear value pick: Fox Performance Elite suspension, a cable-actuated Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain and an alloy wheelset, for several thousand pounds less than its siblings.
Reach runs from 435mm on the S to 505mm on the XL, with seat tubes kept short (390 to 460mm) to free up dropper insertion and lower the standover. It is a long, slack, gravity-focused chassis rather than an all-day trail tourer.
