You’ll just notice how the road smoothens. Lauf makes use of the identical standard-modulus carbon throughout the True Grit vary. This way it can filter out all those small bumps you frequently encounter, without wasting your energy! To keep the suspension from feeling bouncy we set the spring rate of Lauf forks fairly high (hence only 60mm of travel are needed) so in most cases you won’t even notice that it’s moving at all. Making it energy efficient by the nature of its design, so it shouldn’t be lockable. Photo: Courtesy Lauf Don’t ‘lauf’ at my fork The Icelandic leaf-spring design looks crazy, but really isn’t any different than a leaf spring used. A Lauf fork on the other hand doesn’t have friction or a damping mechanism. Lauf True Grit 3,690 to 10,490 Lauf True Grit. This is particularly true for most XC-Marathon races. In many cases you end up carrying a hugely overweight “rigid fork” over the majority of a race. At the core of True Grit is the Lauf Grit SL, with its 30mm of front suspension - the thing that changed how gravel riding is perceived, now taken to the next level. This however puts you in the position of constantly evaluating if you should prefer suspension or energy efficiency. Hence, high end conventional XC suspension forks should be lockable. Several other additional models are available if you want to spend a little less or a lot more. Goes for 5k for the mechanical 1x SRAM Force setup. friction and damping mechanism), therefore you want to block all suspension when you don’t desperately need it. As Lauf was no longer designing just a fork, but an integrated package, it was able to make the True Grit specifically designed around their fork technology. The Lauf True Grit Race Force 1 is another gravel bike that will get you some attention out there with its unusual front suspension fork design. You need it because there is a substantial energy loss in the suspension movement (i.e. Six fiberglass composite leaves connect the two parts on each. The Lauf Grit fork design has two parts: the axle carrier for a 12 or 15mm thru-axle and the fork. Blast through gravel, sweep the singletracks, float on asphalt or open a. We have had the Lauf Grit fork on our bikes for a healthy amount of gravel and mixed terrain riding and report back with our impressions in this long-term ride review. First for mountain bikes, and then for gravel and fat bikes. The True Grit is a versatile gravel and endurance race horse, with nerves of carbon. For those unfamiliar with the brand, Lauf actually started out with their carbon leaf spring forks. On a conventional XC suspension fork you definitely need lockout. The Lauf True Grit has quite a different development story than most gravel bikes.
