Horquilla Lauf Trail Racer

If you are a trendsetter when it comes to innovative products, then the Lauf Trail is what you are looking for. The suspension is made out of S2 fiberglass which is also used by the military. The S2 is very strong and bends up to 60 mm in the direction of the spring movement. This suspension is placed in the exact spot where the shocks must be absorbed: in the wheel axle. This allows the fork to respond more directly to all the obstacles that you encounter along the way. The result is a much stiffer total what affects your steering positively.

You might think this fork is fragile. But do not worry. This fork had to process 400.000 shocks in the Lauf lab tests. Results: the fork did not budge. The 60 mm travel is progressive. This implies the fork becomes stiffer when more pressure is applied. This prevents bottoming out, and keeps the fork sensitive to small bumps.

With the design of the Lauf Trail Racer the focus is on the prevention of the so-called moving parts. This makes the Trail Racer friction and maintenance-free. The monocoque carbon that is used with this Lauf fork is incredibly strong and lightweight, this fork is an unique match for the lightweight XC mountain bikes from these days.
