FAQ
Is this €10 product a full rental?
No — it's a supplement to add to a standard road bike rental. You must first book the road bike rental (half-day at €30 or full day at €40 on the corresponding Takamaka catalogue page), then add this "Vélo Route Carbone" €10/day supplement to your online order. The total with the carbon upgrade is €40 for the half-day and €50 for the full day.
What's the concrete difference between the Lapierre Pulsium carbon and the Sensium aluminium?
The Pulsium is Lapierre's carbon road range — 100% carbon frame, designed and assembled in France, tested by professionals. Compared to the Sensium aluminium, the Pulsium delivers better torsional stiffness (improved power transfer on climbs), superior vibration damping (carbon absorbs road irregularities), and sharper reactivity on accelerations. Slightly lower weight throughout. Over a full day of Basque Country cols, the difference is both noticeable and cumulative.
