Lapierre says

When the X-Control puts on its race kit, it's all about the stopwatch. Used by Team Lapierre, this bike is the weapon of choice for riders looking to do some damage at the races. With the FPS2 suspension system and 100mm of front and rear travel, its remarkable efficiency will allow you to fly over any kind of cross country trail. The 2011 version gets a tapered head tube and the best race-ready components available. A fully made for racing!
