Lauf Cycles

Lauf Cycles designs and sells carbon bicycles, suspension forks and cockpit components for gravel, road and mountain riding. Its current bicycle portfolio spans gravel platforms, road bikes, trail and downcountry mountain bikes, and electric mountain bikes. Engineering centres on lightweight carbon structures that retain robustness and practical service features, using the company’s Impact Resistant Modulus layup, shaping methods and advanced moulding processes to maintain continuous fibres and reduce material overlap. The range also applies controlled frame and component flex to improve comfort and traction without adding complex mechanisms.

Suspension design is a defining part of the business. The Grit SL gravel fork uses short, progressive travel without damping, reducing mechanical complexity and routine maintenance, while the LSP rear suspension system uses a carefully positioned single pivot and leaf springs rather than multilink hardware. Lauf also develops Smoothie handlebars with glass fibre sections engineered to increase compliance at the hands. The company operates directly with riders and backs its bicycles with a 30-day test period, alongside fit guidance, technical support, warranty services and product care resources.
