Laufey's Magic Feel
- BUILT TO SHRED WITH A MIXTURE OF PRECISION, ACCURACY AND ABSORPTION
However precision and accuracy need stiffness and absorption needs compliance, so how do we do it? The frame from the headtube to the bottom bracket is stiffer, adding precision, accuracy and pedalling efficiency where it is needed.
- THAT GIVES US FREEDOM TO DESIGN THE REAR TRIANGLE AND TOPTUBE TO MAXIMIZE VERTICAL COMPLIANCE.
You see this design right away when you look at Laufey and it is what brings that magic feel.
- TUNED STIFFNESS
Studying the way a frame behaves at speed on a rough trail is critical to designing a bike like Laufey. The downtube and headtube areas are stiff, offering precision and great pedalling, however by very carefully adding some controlled flex into the toptube and seat stays we can help reduce unwanted vibrations and lessen the effects of impacts.
What Makes Laufey So Tough?
- ADVANCED ALUMINIUM FRAME
Laufey's advanced aluminium frame with shaped tubes allows us to fine tune the ride quality while also saving weight. The tubes are double or triple butted, adding strength to the high stress weld areas and saving weight elsewhere. The chainstay at the bottom bracket is forged and machined, allowing us to maximize tire clearance for those muddy rides.
- INTERNAL CABLES
The internal cable routing guides cables through the downtube and chainstays to ensure no rubbing or rattling.
- CHAINGUIDE READY
The ISCG01 mount allows secure mounting of Laufey's chain guide.
- DOWNTUBE PROTECTOR
The downtube is protected from the inevitable stone strikes by the robust and invisible vinyl protector which offers great coverage.
- RUBBER BUMPERS
The chainstays are protected by our custom designed rubber bumpers, designed to protect and to reduce noise.
