Lauf Cycles Opens Assembly Plant in USA
Lauf Cycling’s suspension innovation needs no introduction. The brand has gone from a small, garage-based design and development company to an international name when it comes to their unique forks and frames. To further streamline its operations, Lauf has been busy setting up a USA base in Harrisonburg, VA. Why Harrisonburg, you might ask? Because it offers amazing riding (gravel, road and MTB), and because it’s a beautiful college town with excellent ground logistics for the US and flight connections to Iceland.
Earlier this year Lauf started shipping US-bound bikes from its Harrisonburg warehouse. This increased the brand’s efficiency and enabled a substantial price reduction on March 11th.
.
The new pricing break applies to both the Seigla rigid and the Seigla with suspension fork and all models of the Weekend Warriot with percentage drops ranging from 12% to 17.9%.

Sim Works Extra Rice & Beans Bag $120
Compatible with Sim Works’ new Burrito Rack, the Extra Rice & Beans Bag is a roll-top bag available in a range of colorways and material specs. The Extra Rice & Beans uses premium hardware by German outfit Fidlock for the magnetic closure at the roll-top and the cinch-lock for quick access. A reinforced padded base and lower ‘walls’ will protect your cargo during mixed-terrain rides on your local double-track. A purpose-built webbing attachment system with cord-lock toggles will secure the bag to Burrito rack’s corner anchor points. Dual daisy chains would allow this bag to be secured to another rack. A reflective chevron sewn to the back of the bag adds a subtle touch of safety.
