The new Orbea Laufey dropped last week, refining the original offering a low-slung capable hardtail hero. Orbea say that riding a hardtail is a choice, not a compromise. We agree, there is nothing better for developing your technique and ability to spot a line then riding a hardtail. Its also the natural winter bike choice for the committed mountain biker, keeping things simple, minimising your maintenance, and getting the most out of conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 2024 the Laufey has been updated bringing in frame storage, internal cable routing, big tyre clearance and stable, confidence inspiring geometry. Add that to Orbea\u2019s Lifetime warranty and a choice of colours and models and we have a winning formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORBEA INTRODUCES THE NEW LAUFEY: A HARDTAIL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO SQUEEZE EVERY LAST DROP OF FUN OUT OF THE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Laufey is ready to have a great time thanks to its new geometry, 140mm fork<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and that magic feel of a smart and durable frame design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riding a hardtail is a choice, not a compromise, and if you choose Laufey, you are choosing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to squeeze every last drop of fun from every ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its new “Ready to Rock” geometry, long travel fork and simple but smart frame design,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laufey is ready for any terrain. And it will be with you for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could be your first bike or one more in your collection. For XC or for jumping on local trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to be squeezed on every descent and handle everything you ask of it, it also<\/p>\n\n\n\n

inspires confidence in those just getting into MTB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes new Laufey unique?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf<\/strong> Big forks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The long travel 140mm fork matches Laufey’s fun loving nature, letting you push hard even<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when things get rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf<\/strong> Steep n Deep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the uninterrupted, short and straight seat tube Laufey has space for fully inserting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

long travel dropper posts on all sizes. Drop your saddle right out of the way on the descents,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

giving more space to your body and more control. Long travel droppers are the only way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf<\/strong> Ready to rock geometry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t feel you have to hold back just because you are on a hardtail, Laufey is ready for any<\/p>\n\n\n\n

trouble you want to seek out. Laufey’s confident geometry lets you have fun on trails where<\/p>\n\n\n\n

other riders only venture with their fully. Laufey is available in four sizes, from S to XL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf<\/strong> Low Slung<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sloping top tube works with Steep and Deep, giving loads of space to maximize Laufey’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

playfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf<\/strong> That Magic Feel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laufey’s magic handling and composure when things get gnarly comes from the perfect<\/p>\n\n\n\n

blend of stiffness and compliance. The Powerspine adds stiffness where it is needed, in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

downtube and headtube, while the rear triangle and toptube help reduce vibrations and take<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the sting out of big impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are details you only notice when you push that little bit too hard and wonder how you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

got away with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf<\/strong> Internal cables<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internal cable routing guides cables through the downtube and stays to ensure no<\/p>\n\n\n\n

rubbing or rattling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf<\/strong> Chainguide Ready<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ISCG01 mount allows secure mounting of Laufey’s chainguide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u25cf<\/strong> LOCKR: Everything You Need, Right At Hand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When it is time to shred Laufey is ready. Lockr is our downtube cargo bay, with two sealed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    bags and enough space for all the essential tools and water you need for shorter rides or<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    enduro races. Use it to hold tools, or you can decide to fill it with energy gels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u25cf<\/strong> Burly Tire Clearance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Laufey’s carefully shaped chainstays offer plenty of clearance for 2.6″ tires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u25cf<\/strong> Lifetime Warranty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Laufey is a bombproof hardtail built to survive any trail. The design is complemented by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Orbea’s lifetime warranty to keep this hardtail with you for the long haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A family with three models and colors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
