A new 3D configurator for the LMX 56

After several months of work, the LMX team is proud to present the new online configuration tool dedicated to the LMX 56 speedbike.

Find all the new features in this article.

An ultimate personalization experience around the LMX 56

Since the beginning, we manufacture our models to order, offering our customers the choice of the configuration of their speed bike. Color, version, spare parts, everything is subject to customization.

Directly online or with the advice of our team, everyone has the opportunity to create the ultimate speed bike adapted to their practice and their needs.
A first configurator had already been present on our site for several years. But the development of the latest model prompted us to think about a new interface, more user-friendly and intuitive. We worked alongside the design agency L’Agence Pigment, which specializes in Mobility.

3D display, a new way to discover the range

The configurator displays the LMX 56 in 2D, right profile view, in an ultra-realistic way. But the great novelty lies in the visualization of the chassis in 3D, for an even more complete immersion. The “Show 3D viewer” button allows you to switch from 2D view to 3D view in a fraction of a second.

This three-dimensional functionality allows you to really appreciate the geometry and proportions of the speed bike once mounted. Thanks to the different views, explore and visualize in real time the different possible configurations with great fluidity.

Two new designs to discover on the configurator

And as something new never comes alone, we are unveiling the latest colors of the LMX 56 in addition to the configurator.

The 3D display of the configurator is the ideal tool to discover these new liveries in their smallest details. This ultra-realistic approach allows you to see the final look of your speedbike once assembled.

Copper green

Designed for adventurous spirits, this intense and assumed design refers to the extreme outdoor performance and solidity of the LMX 56.

Oyster White

In a more urban universe, this design combines technical performance, innovation, dynamism and agility.

The new equipment of the LMX 56 for a tailor-made speed bike

The configurator offers a wide range of customization options, ranging from frame size to numerous peripherals and accessories.
This choice offers total flexibility for the user, who can select equipment from different levels of the range and more suited to his practice.

Find here the premium equipment available on the LMX 56:

FOX full suspension
- FOX 38 Kashima Float Factory fork, 170 mm travel
- Fox DHX shock, 160mm travel
  Wireless

Peripherals premium Pack
- SRAM AXS GX Eagle derailleur
- Rockshox Reverb AXS dropper post

Schwalbe Eddy Current Tube Type or Tubeles Tires
Velo Ultimate high-end saddle
Quadlock Phone Holder

The “Download my configuration” button allows you to save the chosen configuration in PDF format. A visual of the LMX 56 speed bike is included in the file. The different options selected and their prices are also displayed.

You can thus save several configurations with different range levels. Thus, you can take the time to choose your preferred configuration from the downloaded PDFs.

Up to you

The LMX 56 speedbike configurator is now available on the site. It’s up to you to test this new tool and give free rein to your imagination. See you soon at LMX!

Back to the Roc d’Azur 2022

Back to the Roc d'Azur 2022

The LMX team was present at the 38th edition of the Roc d’Azur from October 5 to 9, 2022.

We were accompagnied by one of our resellers, Frédéric from the Team FB store, located just a few kilometers from Fréjus (Mandelieu-la-Napoule).

Still many visitors on the Roc d'Azur

Why a belt ? [...] There is an accelerator ??

With good weather throughout most of the events, many visitors came to this Roc d’Azur.

We had the opportunity to meet many enthusiasts and introduce them to LMX, which attracted the attention of the public. With nearly ten LMXs on the stand, tests were carried out throughout the show. Whether by expert of the brand or simply curious, the feedback has been all positive, to our delight.

The new LMX 56 speed bikes finally revealed

In addition to the LMX 64, the latest LMX 56 were present at the Roc d’Azur : the standard Orage version, now available to order, and the special racing version. It was the first time that the Orage version was presented to the public, and this one was particularly appreciated. And you what do you think ?

The racing livery reserved for our pilots also attracted attention with its flashy colors.

You can also find more information on this new model on the page dedicated to the LMX 56.

LMX 64 on the Roc hikes !

A few LMX enthusiasts had the opportunity to bring their speedbikes to the event. They didn’t hesitate to come see us to talk with the team and tell us about their experiences with their LMX.

Some even had the opportunity to participate in this 38th edition of the Roc d’Azur in different hikes.

Congratulations to them !

They talk about us

This Roc d’Azur will also have been an opportunity to meet the press and the media, like here with EMBN (Electric Mountain Bike Network) and their video on the different Roc Ebikes, including the LMX 64.

A look back at a Roc d’Azur rich in revelations

A look back at a Roc d'Azur rich in revelations

We had the pleasure of participating in the famous Roc d’Azur during its 38th edition in Fréjus, which took place from October 7 to 10.

Discover in this article what made this event an exceptional and rich moment in revelations on the LMX booth.

A BEAUTIFUL ENTHOUSIASM FROM THE VISITORS' SIDE

Throughout these 4 days, we met dozens of two-wheeler enthusiasts, all curious to discover our two models and our Made In Isère know-how.

Nothing has escaped them, neither the patented double transmission of the LMX 64, nor the astonishing lightness of the LMX 161.

We took great pleasure in interacting with the visitors who passed by our stand, some being regulars and others completely discovering the brand.

You were at the Roc d'Azur and came by our stand ? Share your experience here !

A STRONG TEAM ON THE SIDE OF LMX

We had the chance to participate in this Roc d’Azur accompanied by our dealer from Mandelieu-la-Napoule : Frédéric from the Team FB dealership.

The perfect opportunity for local visitors to meet the LMX contact in their region !

Thanks to the 7 LMXs on our stand, you were able to carry out dozens of tests and trials throughout these 4 days.

A VERY SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT ON OUR STAND

Saturday was a very colorful day for LMX. It has been several days now since we were listening to you about an announcement we were going to make at our booth.

And many of you guessed what it was all about before the final reveal !

On Saturday at 11 a.m., the prototype of our next model was presented to the public for the first time: the LMX 56.

The entire LMX team says a big thank you to everyone at our booth for sharing this magical moment with us. For those who were not present at the event, a live was organized during the launch to involve as many people as possible.

Relive the revelation to the audience at home and discover the answers to the very first questions asked about the live right here :

LMX 56 : AN ELECTRIC TRIAL MOTORCYCLE IN BIKE

The LMX 56 is not just a new version of the LMX 64, it is a real revolution from LMX, one of a kind.

The year 2021 was an opportunity to rework on our existing technologies while at the same time creating an innovative and never-before-seen concept bike.

Between a state-of-the-art chassis incorporating an even more powerful battery, a new engine developed in-house, an optimized rear hub, and trial-type equipment, the LMX 56 appears like a real trial motorcycle disguised as an electric two-wheeler with pedals !

Discover the LMX which will revolutionize your year 2022 in terms of driving and pleasure.

SEE YOU IN 2022

This concept bike has therefore been available for pre-order since last Saturday on our site, for deliveries scheduled for summer 2022.

Book yours now, to embark on the adventure and let yourself be surprised by the most integrated LMX in the range !

We will communicate the end of the year on this new platform, its future equipment and its final characteristics.

We can’t wait to tell you more soon, so stay tuned !

LMX is present at trade shows until the end of the year !

Since June, LMX has had the chance to participate in various shows and events around two-wheelers in France.

The year 2020 was indeed marked by the cancellation of many events, due to the health context.

We return in this article to the previous events in which LMX has already participated, and the next dates to come and remember for this end of the year.

THIS SUMMER'S EVENTS

SUPER BESSE BIKE FESTIVAL : JUNE 2021

In the Sancy massif (63), the Super-Besse resort hosted for the first time an electrically assisted mountain bike world cup round. Between the many organized hikes, the show bringing together exhibitors like LMX, vehicle tests and competitions, the weekend was well filled !

During the weekend, our LMX 64s were able to compete in the French E-MTB enduro championship in the e-pro category limited to 45 km/h.

With more than 80 km of racing in total on sometimes very technical terrain, LMX took first place, with Gaylord Soldevila as rider (@ soldevila92 on Instagram).

SALON OUTDOOR IN SAINT CHAMOND : JULY 2021

In July, we took part in the first Outdoor Show for off-road electric two-wheelers, organized by the St Chamond motoclub (42).

6th largest French club FFM (Fédération Française de Motocyclisme) with its 403 licenses issued in 2020, this motorcycle club has set up for the occasion various activities, hiking circuits, tracks, test and demonstration areas, as well as a e bike park on its 7 hectare site.

LMX was therefore one of the forty brands present at the show to exhibit their 100% electric two-wheelers. The LMX 161 have successfully participated in numerous demonstrations and races organized on the enduro motocross track between different brands.

We thank the entire motorcycle club team and the participants for a great time.

VERBIER E-BIKE FESTIVAL WORLD TOUR : AUGUST 2021

Very recently, we discovered the magnificent resort of Verbier (Switzerland) by participating in the E-bike Festival World Tour 2021.

With more than 2,820 participants, 502 e-bikes available for testing, 2,695 tests carried out and the presence of 31 exhibitors, this show was a real success.

The sun was also present throughout the stay, which allowed the LMX team to climb one evening with the LMX 64 over 1300 m of vertical drop in the mountains over about twenty kilometers.

Thanks to the numerous test tracks open for the occasion, the resort offered the ideal terrain to experience the high performance of LMXs on both ascents and descents. The LMX 64s delivered their full potential on the most technical courses, and thrilled many.

Thank you to the whole Verbier team for this event.

UPCOMING EVENTS !

Si vous n’avez pas eu l’occasion de participer à ces événements cette année, voici les deux prochaines dates à retenir pour venir nous voir sur un salon en 2021.

VÉLO EN GRAND FESTIVAL : SEPTEMBER 2021

For the next event, the LMX team will go to the Paris region, and more specifically to the Jablines Annet leisure center for Cycling in Grand Festival.

The perfect opportunity to come and try the LMXs on dedicated test platforms !

The festival also organizes hiking trails, races, and other activities for all ages and all levels.

Dates : September 17-19, 2021

ROC D’AZUR : OCTOBER 2021

Finally, we will be present at the 37th edition of the Roc’Azur, which will be held from October 7 to 10 in Fréjus.

With over 100,000 visitors each year, this is the world’s premier mountain biking event. A total of 35 events are planned, bringing together the worlds of mountain biking, triathlon and extreme sports.

Our Team FB reseller located in Mandelieu La Napoule (06) will also be present on site.

The LMX team is waiting for you at these events to help you discover your future LMX !

LMX responses to complex procurement

LMX Bikes, along with the entire two-wheeler industry, is going through a complex period that is spreading globally. The health crisis that we have all known for several months has serious repercussions on trade between countries and industries.

Our international suppliers indicate delays and delivery times that have never been seen before, which therefore have a direct impact on our own delivery times.

These delays are due to the combination of the effects of the health crisis and the good performance of the two-wheeler and bicycle market.

Today we are therefore reviewing the current situation of our supplies, and the measures taken by LMX to best compensate for the consequences on our deliveries in the short and medium term.

BIG DELAYS ON THE SUPPLIER SIDE

6061 ALUMINIUM

Regarding aluminum, to date we have no visibility with our suppliers as to the next availability. Big shortages are also announced over the coming months.

TORQUE SENSORS

The delivery, which was initially scheduled to arrive in June, was delayed due to major material supply problems.

FORKS

The main supplier did not meet the announced deadlines, with an initial delivery scheduled for February 2021, which was postponed to the end of July 2021. The current deadlines for future orders are estimated at more than 600 days for all suspension suppliers.

18650 CELLS

Heavy line saturations have been announced at Panasonic and Samsung. The announced deadlines are currently over one year.

BRAKES

The delivery of our previous order placed in July 2020 and initially scheduled for October 2020 finally arrived at our premises in June 2021, almost a year after its validation.

To date, the deadlines are still very long and require us to get ahead of our orders.

CARDBOARD

A shortage was announced by our supplier on raw materials.

MEASURES TAKEN BY LMX

In order to respond to these various issues, we quickly took measures to meet the deadlines of our own deliveries as well as possible, announced to our customers.

FRAMES

We have started production of LMX 64 frames in advance at our workshop since December 2020. To date, all frames sold have been produced.

TORQUE SENSORS

Two orders were placed with two different suppliers after a technical and quality validation phase, so as not to be penalized by potential delays in delivery.

SUSPENSIONS

We have decided to place our orders in aftermarket to compensate for supplier delivery delays and to meet our own deadlines as best as possible, without passing on this price difference on our customers' orders.

BATTERIES

Orders from our suppliers were validated at the start of the year, which has assured us until today of stock on the cells, despite the shortages announced.

BRAKES

We have placed two orders with two different suppliers, to avoid production bottlenecks. Expensive homologation tests were set up to validate a second brake model on the homologated version of the LMX 64, without the assurance of receiving these brakes quickly.

TRANSPORT

All critical supplies are currently in transit by air to save time on delays from our suppliers, despite the additional cost that this represents.

LONG-TERM MEASURES

We repatriate our supplies as much as possible to a panel of European suppliers in order to limit the impact of international crises on our business. This measure is part of LMX's long-term vision and its implementation began well before the onset of the current crisis.

In addition to measures on parts and raw materials, we have frozen the signing of new reseller contracts to ensure parts support and availability with the existing network.

Our priority is therefore placed on our current resellers and customers. The entire LMX team thanks you for your high fidelity and for the confidence you have shown over the years.

Know that we give our best every day to honor our commitments and ensure that tomorrow, we will continue to cooperate hand in hand with you, with the same passion that has driven us from the very beginning.

The LMX 161 MX evolves and becomes the LMX 161 MXR !

On the LMX side, up to now we have offered the LMX 161H, our 45 km/h road-approved motorcycle, and the LMX 161 MX, our non-approved offroad version including all off-road equipment.

We have been working on improving this second version for a few months.

And that’s it, we officially communicate on the replacement of the LMX 161 MX : the LMX 161 MXR ! With an R for Racing, this new version breaks all records in terms of performance in LMX vehicles.

WHAT MAKES THE LMX 161 MXR UNIQUE

FASTER

The LMX 161 MXR is not approved for the road and can therefore use all its engine capacities, without restraint.So it's not at 45 km/h like on the LMX 161H, but at 70 km/h that you can drive on private roads !

A SPECIAL RACING LOOK

To match with the Suntour RUX fork and give this version a racing look, the fairings of the LMX 161 MXR machined in our workshop are white. A real differentiator in our range !

MORE POWERFUL

Thanks to the new controller and a higher speed of rotation, the peak power of the motor is multiplied and goes from 6 kW for the LMX 161H to 9 kW for the LMX 161 MXR. A real powerhouse for all your sports outings !

MORE FLEXIBLE

Thanks to the feedback from our customers, we noticed that the original LMX 161 MX had a bit too much “on / off” response in the field and that the switching between the two modes was not smooth enough.The old controller was then replaced by the one present on the LMX 64. The latter being more advanced, the power in the technique is then much better exploited during your outings.

ALL-TERRAIN DEDICATED EQUIPMENT

FORK: SR Suntour RUX double T (38mm diameter and 200mm travel) SHOCK ABSORBER: DNM RCP2 (215 mm travel).BRAKES: Formula Cura 4 with 4 x 18mm front / rear pistons and shorter levers, more aggressive on the ground.Automatic chain tensioner. Its spring mounting really limits the risk of chain derailment.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND ON ALL YOUR LMX 161

Two driving modes

The two driving modes are still present on this version, with an ECO mode and a BOOST mode. They offer you real versatility during your outings and real offroad sensations on the ground.

And still so light !

At only 45 kg, it is twice as light as its thermal equivalent. Ideal for all your outings, whether leisure or sports. But you have just seen it, the LMX 161 MXR is nonetheless a true concentrate of power and aggressiveness !

CONFIGURE YOUR LMX 161

You can now configure your LMX directly on our site and assemble it step by step, to choose THE version that suits you.
