Perfect Trail Hardtail

[@nibornavonod]

Cool video. I feel the same way about hardtails. Makes all the shore trails I’ve ridden a bunch a different level of fun.

[@GeoffGulevich]

For sure. Nice way to spice it up

[@zoomzoomgt]

Thats 1 gorgeous bike and trail.

[@GeoffGulevich]

Thank you, friend!

[@zoomzoomgt]

@GeoffGulevich i see that you mainly ride orbea. I'm torn now between a HT or a FS lol I want simplicity not. Much of a tuner freak just want grab a bike n go. But yet I want the compliance of a FS (stumpjumper/kona process 134)😅 since I got old man knees and bad lower back and hips. I was looking to get a rocky Mountain Growler 50/roscoe 8/9. But after more research. I found this bike. Altho it cost alot more... and saw the orbea occam (roughly same price) what would be you're pick and why. Since look like or a orbea fan.

[@GeoffGulevich]

@@zoomzoomgt I would go Occam 100%. Cushion for the bones is always well received. The Occam is a very capable bike that pedals great. Especially if you’ve found a deal on one. That’s a no brainer in my opinion. Very light also!

[@tbust8693]

Awesome. Hope everything is good with your leg. I love my hardtail. You make it look so easy.

[@GeoffGulevich]

It’s going really well thanks! They are so much fun eh Just makes everything a bit spicier

[@BasicBodThor]

Agreed on "adding spice" with a HT. Just built one up and it makes the more chill trails a lot more interesting

[@GeoffGulevich]

Heck ya!!! Let’s go!!!

[@johnorange3797]

can't beat a hardtail dude... awesome 👍

[@GeoffGulevich]

They are so fun Thanks dude

[@TheRideAbides]

Leg must be feeling pretty good if you're riding a hardtail through tech! Awesome to see you back at it! "This trail is not chill" lol!

[@GeoffGulevich]

Hahaha feeling great again. Partying hard hahaha

[@acllffllca]

I just built up a "budget" enduro hardtail. Full 29er with 160mm cane creek helm. The thing rips and brings me back to being a kid and sending stuff on hard tails all the time!

[@GeoffGulevich]

Hell ya!!!!

[@dazmos_65]

Looked like you had way too much fun! Nicely ridden Geoff

[@GeoffGulevich]

It’s a blast Thanks dude

[@LuisLopez-yn5vl]

I love hard tail!! From México 🇲🇽 👌🏼

[@GeoffGulevich]

Salut

[@danhanna420]

Freakin beauty

[@GeoffGulevich]

Super fun machine

[@TiagoBettencourt-sk8dy]

Does the longer chainstay length makes it harder to manual and what about the playfulness? Os it playful even with that long chainstay?

[@GeoffGulevich]

@@TiagoBettencourt-sk8dy it is actually pretty easy to maintain a manual. Just a bit harder to initiate with the weight, but you learn how to deal with that quickly.

[@TiagoBettencourt-sk8dy]

@GeoffGulevich thanks! How about the playfulness? Snappy? I am about to order the H30 2024 model hence the questions.

[@GeoffGulevich]

@@TiagoBettencourt-sk8dy honestly, it is extremely playful and easy to move around. You’re going to love it.

[@radul351]

Very nice vid. Kindly ask to tell me, it is size M? Thanks!

[@GeoffGulevich]

Hey dude. I’m riding a L

[@betasub]

Great presentation! Do you know its weight? Thank you so much.

[@GeoffGulevich]

Thank you , sir. I have not weighed it. I would assume the weight in on the orbea page. I’m running it completely stock, so it should be accurate info

[@betasub]

@@GeoffGulevich They don't want to give the weight of their bikes!

[@BitcoinBulgaria1992]

around 14kg

[@CassidyOG]

What hubs are on this bike? Can't find an answer anywhere.

[@GeoffGulevich]

Definitely raceface hubs. Don’t have it right in front of me to double check though

[@Rubblechops]

Which spec is that? I have the H10 of the last version. Loves a smooth flow trail, tech not so much!

[@GeoffGulevich]

This is H LTD model. How are you enjoying your H10?

[@Rubblechops]

@@GeoffGulevich It's good fun thanks. Bomber Z2 not especially supple but does the job

[@ola95003]

How difficult is to assembly? I was thinking to get the stoic 4 or laufey h30/h10. Also is this frame playful for a first real mountain bike to a bigger

[@GeoffGulevich]

Assembly is as easy as possible if you order direct. Literally turn the bars, pump up the tires and you’re good to go

[@remiwrc]

hello I have a question I would like to buy the laufey h30 2024 but I am afraid that the components are not good and reliable enough. can you tell me if it is profitable?

[@GeoffGulevich]

The components are certainly reliable and I haven’t had to replace anything yet

[@flavioreis1655]

How was on the uphills?

[@GeoffGulevich]

Fast!!!! I forgot what it’s like to pedal without suspension

[@flavioreis1655]

The steep Sta was good to pedal o flat?

[@GeoffGulevich]

not sure i know what that means @@flavioreis1655

[@flavioreis1655]

@@GeoffGulevich seat tube angle *

[@GeoffGulevich]

ohhhh! Learn something everyday. @@flavioreis1655

[@Raphlix_]

Is this the H30 or the H10 ?

[@GeoffGulevich]

This is the H10

[@Raphlix_]

@@GeoffGulevich Is the h10 2023 Also good ?

[@PG-xr4uh]

How is it for climbing?

[@GeoffGulevich]

It’s really good on climbs

[@alessandroripa4871]

Anybody here experienced during the trail any big difference in terms of feelings from the old Laufey model to the new 2024 one? I could get the old model for a much discounted price than the new one. Thanks

[@GeoffGulevich]

Personally I never had the opportunity to ride the old model. Deals a deal though

[@dragoschisavu]

Yeah but that’s not really the trail for the bike. The more flowy ones get the best out of it. 🤘🏼

[@GeoffGulevich]

I enjoyed it. To each their own… have fun out there, my friend

[@pepeanza6187]

Rocky mountain growler better geo and cheaper

[@GeoffGulevich]

This one is better
