Review: 2020 Orbea Laufey - Dusty Betty - Women's Mountain Biking

[@hardtailparty]

Great review!

[@mattmitchell5320]

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!!!

[@EvansNcube247365]

Subscribed to support a woman mountain biker! Loving this review even though it is 3 years old :)

[@flowinnature8235]

I already have lots of fun in the previous model , that one must be even better going down. Great review 👍

[@todddennehy804]

You ride awesome! Thanks for the live review of this bike!

[@rusmatahmed3509]

Super, insights, thank you! Comparison with your FS bike was really helpful.

[@erlendsteren9466]

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.

[@japanesecar1501]

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.

[@jochenwauters4059]

About the tires. Changed the Rekons in Rocket Rons. Works for me. Less effort, better average.

[@bikerdhill]

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

[@slopesripper]

@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.

[@L4J20]

Sounds like a ripper! Thanks for the review 👍

[@newttella1043]

29.8 lbs?! You are clearly a strong rider for how light you are. Big wheels do add weight. Thanks for a great review.

[@jochenwauters4059]

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.

[@jasonlewis6914]

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.

[@GeoAnaGR]

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

[@hybr1d694]

What happened to the old Laufey? You never did a review on it? Any words comparing the the two Laufeys?

[@todddennehy804]

When in Silver City, NM, let’s ride!

[@todddennehy804]

Can’t wait for my Orbea Alma to arrive!

[@bigrod359]

How do i go about ordering as they dont ship to my house

[@todddennehy804]

Ralph 187 talk to Kerry at Bike Bling. Pretty sure they will.

[@bigrod359]

@@todddennehy804 thanks buddy I checked it out and they will ship it to my house thank you

[@tomsparks7305]

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

[@Triumphstreettriplewheelies]

Ordered a green one, can’t wait! Already thinking about 160/170 travel 😜🤟🏻

[@slopesripper]

Greatly informative video!

[@MrJimbok1]

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.

[@Salmarikarhu]

I will go buy this bike because of this review

[@slopesripper]

Just ordered mine yesterday! 8-)

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Nice review!!

[@adrideboeck3690]

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!

[@jochenwauters4059]

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....

[@robins2690]

Nice ride, even nicer bike.. what kind of pressure are you running in your 2.6's?

[@slopesripper]

@@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)

[@sethnicholls7861]

My next bike!!!

[@borisluzaic5898]

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?

[@kosta2177]

Would you choose this one over the Specialized Fuse Comp 29?

[@ericcontreras8863]

Good review. Can you fit 27.5x2.8? Also can you fit 2 full size bottles in frame?

[@ericcontreras8863]

*In your medium frame?

[@ericcontreras8863]

Dusty Betty thanks 👍

[@walls116]

Hey I like your sunglasses, are those prescription?

[@erikd6124]

What happens with your leufey? I own one since a few months. Did you sold it because the frame wasnt compliment enough?

[@sanchezNO69]

What happened to the h10 in green? Did you get rid of it?

[@BeMTB-13]

Thank for the review ! Do you have the space for 2.80 Tires ?

[@BeMTB-13]

@@dustybettymtb Hi ! I have my Laufey next month 😉👍

[@meksyk1990]

Hello, can you fit two full size water bottle in frame?

[@kuba3x95]

Great bike :) On 177cm (5.8ft) will be better size M or L? Whats your opinion?

[@danhanna420]

Medium

[@mellissanash7517]

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.

[@cibulino8604]

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.

[@akidone]

I´m 5"6 (170 cm) and run a size M, perfect for climbing and decending fast - a 7/10 for super technical stuff

[@slopesripper]

she says she´s 5´4" in the video

[@samledversis9474]

Is the purple laufey sticker removable or is it clear coated over ?

[@akidone]

Was hopping the same, but it is coated over.

[@danhanna420]

Can you go above 140mm travel

[@mikecarter6758]

What trails did you ride?

[@fattie2550]

Does the DV9 climb better?

[@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527]

Why is soo heavy ? The fork ?

[@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527]

@@dustybettymtb now I see it is AL Alloy . At first I thought it was Carbon and 13.5 kilos was kinda heavy:)

[@leopal83]

I want a 2 degree angleset on my trek roscoe 7 (2019). But i dont know what will fit? Do anyone know?

[@tizben]

Check works components headsets or Cain Creek angled headsets. Do research on sizing to fit your bike. Different for every bike

[@__geraldos__9768]

Hi I want to get this bike is it for males or females?

[@danhanna420]

Both

[@sharkmentality9717]

Cool gravel bike! Super fun with a 1500w front hub reinforced fork.

[@battlepug3122]

Wow 29 pounds sounds like a lot. My aluminium Giant Trance 29er (full suspension) weighs around 30.5 pounds

[@thatoneguyincatalonia5321]

weight in Xl someone?
