Lauf Cycling is an Icelandic bicycle brand based in Reykjavik, Iceland. They specialise in cyclocross and gravel bikes.
They are most commonly known for their invention of the Lauf Spring: a pivotless trailing link fork.[1] A set of glass fiber[2] springs are attached between the wheel set and the forks of a bike.[3] Manufacturing is done in Iceland, with subsidiary dealers found in both Europe and the United States.
The company gained media attention, when Canadian Cyclocross National Champion,[4] Michael Van Den Ham[5] used Lauf bikes for his successful competition wins in 2018.[6]
