it took me a moment to even understand what you were asking.
Has anyone ridden a bike with a Lauf fork as yet as I’m trying to select a fork for an xterra bike?

well, they certainly look interesting, but unless you are a very early adopter, who is happy with 80mm of travel, then I can’t see the benefit. If you stick to the main players in the game, RS, Fox, Manitou etc, you’ll find something that will suit your xterra rig.
but hey, in another few years, this may be what all offroad forks look like.

That’s one cool fork! And it’s only 990 grams. And it would look great on my Vanna White Niner Jet 9. 60 mm travel is fine for an XC 29er if the length of the fork is correct. I WANT ONE!

Problem is that it’s $990, but right now you can get 10% off. My RockShox fork is in perfect condition, I have to see what I could get for it. Like I said: I WANT ONE!

No rebound damping, not very aero, doesn’t look very crash-worthy, too expensive.
