The Carbonara wants to play in the snow and have fun with the gang. Slam on almost any fat bike and dial up the fun factor.

S2 Springs
The springs on the Lauf Carbonara are made of military spec S2 glassfiber that is extremely tough on hits and flexible in the direction of the travel. The springs have been “shocked” in our test lab over 400.000 times reaching 40mm amplitude every time.

Zero Maintenance
The design of the Lauf TR Boost is based around eliminating all “moving parts”, and therefore, friction and maintenance. The monocoque carbon fiber structure delivers incredible strength, and the test-fork we have in our lab has already been “shocked” over 170 thousand times, without showing any signs of wear and tear. That equals more mountain-biking than you’ll manage to cram into at least 5 years of action!

Progressive Spring Rate
The Lauf TR Boost has 60mm of travel with progressive spring rate. This means that the further the fork compresses the springs become stiffer. This helps keeping the fork from bottoming without sacrificing small bump compliance.

Max Tyre Width: 26x4.8" / 27.5x4.5" / 29x3"
Weight: 1.100 g
Travel: 60mm

The Lauf Grit is the perfect addition to any gravel bike - or to “gravel-up” the CX bike. It makes the bike more capable and more comfortable. Make your next adventure the most fun one yet!

Wheels
700c and 27.5"

We recommend 700c for less rolling resistance.

Max Tire Width
700x42mm or 27.5x2.1"

The Grit forks can take up a whole lot of rubber, which can save your day when things get dirty.

Travel
30mm / 1.18"

This is the sweet spot for our forks. Since the travel is fairly short and progressive, we don’t need damping. That makes the fork a lot simpler and maintenance free.

Weight
900 g / 1.98 lbs

The Grit forks are very light and the perfect fit on gravel bikes - and to "gravel-up" cyclocross bikes. Weight measured with 210mm steerer and Lauf axle.

Unsprung Weight
250g

The low unsprung weight is one of the design elements that makes this fork extremely good at tracking small bumps and chatter which gives you great traction and isolates you from vibration.

Axle
12mm or 15mm thru-axle

All forks are supplied with our own Lauf axle. A lightweight low profile axle, which requires a 6mm allen key. If you prefer a lever, you can replace it on the 15mm version with e.g. the RockShox Maxle.

Hub Spacing
100mm

Rake
47mm

The rake on the Grit is made to fit the slightly longer axle to crown then on on most gravel forks, while maintaining steering characteristics of 45mm rake rigid fork.

Axle to Crown
409mm (with 6mm sag)

The axle to crown on the Grit is slightly longer then on most rigid gravel forks, which is necessary to incorporate the 30mm travel. Combined with the 47mm rake the Grit maintains the steering characteristics of a rigid fork with 45mm rake and 395mm axle to crown.

Steerer
Tapered 1 1/8" - 1 1/4" (supplied with a crownrace to fit 1 1/2" lower)

The Grit comes with a crown race for 1 1/2” lower bearing should that be necessary. If you have a 1 3/8” lower bearing (Specialized) you can purchase an adapter in our online store here. Uncut steerer is 300mm.

Minimum Rotor Size
160mm

The Grit forks are made for flat mount brakes. Spacers can be used to fit a 180mm rotor. If you'd like to use post mount brakes you should use this adapter for 160mm rotor: SM-MA-F140PDA.

Rider Weight Limit
110 kg / 242 lbs

This is your weight including gear.
