Awesome review. Yours and (your partners) were both great reviews. Can't wait to get my Laufey this years. Super excited to get back onto a hardtail!!!
You ride awesome! Thanks for the live review of this bike!
I already have lots of fun in the previous model , that one must be even better going down.
Great review 👍
Great review!
Hi Tess great video really digging the bike and the awesome scenery. Quick questions as your 5 foot 4" can you still ride the medium with the dropper fully extended ? and how did you find the reach ? did you feel you were lent over to much,or that your arms didn't have enough bend ?
Regards T x
Super, insights, thank you! Comparison with your FS bike was really helpful.
Hi, thanks for the video - great job!
I am curious if the wheels from TRYP 30c are good enough for the bike. what is your experience on them? are you satisfied?
Sounds like a ripper! Thanks for the review 👍
I just got the same bike but in XL, it's exciting to see someone else enjoying the bike as much as I am.
Just wondering how tall you are?Looking at the same bike myself, and I can get a really good deal on a large frame. I'm 185cm
@@Hansen931 I am not familiar with your riding (style n terrain), but considering what bike u´r thinking of, the Size L is the one for you, imo.
About the tires. Changed the Rekons in Rocket Rons. Works for me. Less effort, better average.
Tess, that was a fantastic review, very detailed, loved it. I was wondering how the 29er wheels feel for you, because we are the same height. I just bought a 2020 Giant Trance 29er, and havent ridden it yet do to snow where I live. Just want to know how the 29er feels to ride as a shorter stature person like me
@bikerdhill Good point from you. I think, 27,5 inch wheels would b better option for Tess, as far as playfulnes/finesse of the Laufey goes.
Ordered a green one, can’t wait! Already thinking about 160/170 travel 😜🤟🏻
Subscribed to support a woman mountain biker! Loving this review even though it is 3 years old :)
Would you choose this one over the Specialized Fuse Comp 29?
Greatly informative video!
I have the 2019 Laufey and the reach measurement is crap (430mm on a L), I wish I could get the 2020 frame. Other than that I love the rest of the build on mine
Nice review!!
Thanks for good video! I got the Laufey H10 two weeks ago. The big difference between this and a lighter hardtail is the ability to run wider tyres . Maybe I can fit 3 inch wide 29 tyres. Now I use 2.8 inch wide spiked tyres which was great on 4 cm deep snow.
Hi, could you tell me, if you could fit those fat 3" ? How is it ? I am looking for a bike, and can buy an H10 with the Z2 bomber fork, or the stoic for even more "bomby" riding with a RockShox Pike Select, I believe the Stoic is fittable with 3",atleast some of them.
Hey I like your sunglasses, are those prescription?
If you liked the wider tires on the Orbea Laufey you might try a little wider tires on your IBIS with a better tread pattern for your riding than the Rekons.
Such a cool bike. I run a 10 speed 2x i like the range better. all xtr drivetrain and brakes. never ever had a hardtail bike that rides so fast and shifts like a speeding bullet.
When in Silver City, NM, let’s ride!
Nice ride, even nicer bike.. what kind of pressure are you running in your 2.6's?
@@dustybettymtb Hi. What´s your opinion on going tubeless, while also adding cushion foam-rolls (not sure, what they´re called) inside of tyres. Con´s, pro´s? Thank you. (I´m 6,2 , about 170, going for XL)
What happened to the old Laufey? You never did a review on it? Any words comparing the the two Laufeys?
Really good review and nice bike! You mentioned that the bike is size M but sorry for asking - what is your height? I am planning to order this bike but I am quite confused by the long seattube.
I´m 5"6 (170 cm) and run a size M, perfect for climbing and decending fast - a 7/10 for super technical stuff
she says she´s 5´4" in the video
Hello, can you fit two full size water bottle in frame?
What happened to the h10 in green? Did you get rid of it?
Does the DV9 climb better?
Thank for the review ! Do you have the space for 2.80 Tires ?
@@dustybettymtb Hi ! I have my Laufey next month 😉👍
hey tess, will this bike handle flatter cross country terrain as well, given the 65,5 ht angle? i'm looking for a mtb with a more upright position for both trails and flatter xc Woods, roads, fields,... thks!
Had a XC before and changed to the Laufey, trail. For me much better. So if you can, try to ride it first. For me a trailbike works better than the XC. Riding in Belgium, so flatter tracks....
I will go buy this bike because of this review
Just ordered mine yesterday! 8-)
What trails did you ride?
29.8 lbs?! You are clearly a strong rider for how light you are. Big wheels do add weight. Thanks for a great review.
My Laufey (old one in 27.5+) weighs 31.97 pounds. Never a problem. Been looking to lose some pounds on the bike, but was cheaper to lose some extra pounds on the body :-). Great bike. Had a Specialized Crave in 29 before, but never so much fun as on the Orbea. Would like to compare the old one and the new one.
Can’t wait for my Orbea Alma to arrive!
How do i go about ordering as they dont ship to my house
Ralph 187 talk to Kerry at Bike Bling. Pretty sure they will.
@@todddennehy804 thanks buddy I checked it out and they will ship it to my house thank you
Good review. Can you fit 27.5x2.8? Also can you fit 2 full size bottles in frame?
*In your medium frame?
Dusty Betty thanks 👍
My next bike!!!
What happens with your leufey? I own one since a few months. Did you sold it because the frame wasnt compliment enough?
Can you go above 140mm travel
I want a 2 degree angleset on my trek roscoe 7 (2019). But i dont know what will fit? Do anyone know?
Check works components headsets or Cain Creek angled headsets. Do research on sizing to fit your bike. Different for every bike
Great bike :) On 177cm (5.8ft) will be better size M or L? Whats your opinion?
Medium
Cool gravel bike! Super fun with a 1500w front hub reinforced fork.
Is the purple laufey sticker removable or is it clear coated over ?
Was hopping the same, but it is coated over.
In my searches, some 2.6 tires measure out to 2.4-2.5 no matter the rim & WTB has one or two 2.6 tires that measure out 2.7 on most rims. Worth measuring into as friend found out their 2.8 tire measure out actually to 2.5 & they have wide rims. It seems like one of the little know secrets is bike tire manufactures have very lax tolerances for width.
Wow 29 pounds sounds like a lot. My aluminium Giant Trance 29er (full suspension) weighs around 30.5 pounds
weight in Xl someone?
Why is soo heavy ? The fork ?
@@dustybettymtb now I see it is AL Alloy . At first I thought it was Carbon and 13.5 kilos was kinda heavy:)
Hi I want to get this bike is it for males or females?
Both
🚴👍
Orbea, hook me up ;v
