Product Features and Descriptions from the Manufacturer:
“The Anywhere is made of carbon and, of course, designed in-house at Lauf. On top of that, it's the chief of mixed-terrain. Whether it's hammering the pavement with a dash of gravel or heading into the wild loaded with bags - just going anywhere. The Anywhere eats vibrations from the road and smoothies the hits on the gravel - all thanks to the Lauf Smoothie handlebar we developed for the bike – just ride!”
“The Anywhere is (bike-) packed with great features designed for a menu of mixed terrain. Jump out the door, grind your way through or load it up and head anywhere you want. In case you forgot - we made sure it has a bottle opener.”
“Lauf Smoothie (handlebar)
The Lauf Smoothie handlebar eats vibrations for breakfast, isolating you from the hum of the road. Flex where you need it the most, in the hoods and the drops. Utilising the same tough and flexible material we us in the springs on our forks the Smoothie is lightweight, yet strong as an ox. The shape takes full advantage of the flared drops. Since flared drops are easy to access, we made the ramps longer (thus top corners sharper) for an extra palm position further behind the hoods. Giving you an additional relaxed position for longer rides.”
“Lauf JAF (fork)
We’re known for our leaf spring suspension forks but for this bike we chose to put on Just A Fork (JAF). It’s normally light at 395g with triple cage-mounts each side. “
