World Champion

It was in Aletsch, at the heart of the Swiss mountains and right next to its legendary glacier, that Jérôme Gilloux once again made history in electric mountain biking. After 2021, 2022, and 2024, the Lapierre athlete has claimed his 4th world title in the E-XC category, cementing his status as the ultimate reference in the discipline!

Determined, incisive, and unstoppable despite fierce competition (with Joris Ryf finishing just 7 seconds behind), Jérôme managed to impose his pace, especially in the final lap. Perfectly positioned in the last switchbacks, he relied on his race expertise to preserve energy until the very end, storming into first place in the final corner right before the finish line.

This year, it was aboard his Lapierre Overvolt AM — with its 100Nm torque, 800Wh battery, and enhanced assistance — that he conquered the rainbow jersey, making our Overvolt line the ultimate symbol of performance and excellence.

In fact, this victory is not only that of an exceptional rider: it also reflects our innovation and expertise. The duo formed by Gilloux and his Overvolt proves that perfect synergy between human talent and technology can push all boundaries. With this 4th title in five years, Jérôme continues to etch his legacy in golden letters and establish Lapierre as a pioneering winner in the world of electric mountain biking!
