Hairy Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Jean Biermans won the 2015 36One on a HT Ridley 29" with a Lauf fork beating the course record this weekend. A number of podium winners won these forks. Will be interesting to see who puts them on their bikes..In a race like the 36One - they clearly seem to work! Had coffee with Jean and the looks and stares the bike got in the 30mins was incredible. It seems like a piece of kit made exceptionally well for very specific types of riding. So who is Laufing now ? That's the most accurate thing said about this "fork" Certainly far better than the original advertorial Seems the Ridley is the frame to ride if you want to smash your records on a ride like this.

I'll give some feedback as once I've ridden it for a bit.

Troi Sport Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 an amusing interview Lauf Forks ~ Innovation from the Frosty North Posted on June 10, 2015 by Scandinavian Jesus — 1 Comment ↓Very recently, as in like three days ago, I recapped the last portion of the journey Dirty and I made to Iceland last summer. During our last days in Reykjavik we did some riding with a few local followers. And they all rode these funky suspension forks. Like nothing I’d seen before. They’re from a company calledLauf Forks. Naturally we gawked, took pictures, and asked questions. We learned that the design is based on some of the engineering behind certain prosthetic limbs. I considered touching on the design in the recap of the trip, but decided that wouldn’t do it justice. So I caught up with the owner via email. His name is Benedikt Skúlason, and he was more than willing to answer some questions for me.read the whole interview here : http://drunkcyclist.com/2015/06/10/lauf-forks/
NicoBoshoff Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I had another look at this fork the other day, and I must say,...nope, still FUGLY!
