So this is my first Lauf, I have experience on rigid fat and suspension fork fat.
How I woudl describe the Lauf:
Imagine the difference you feel when you drop the air pressure on your fat tires. Reducing tire pressure helps with shock absorption, but it tends to compromise handling, by causing tire rolling/slop.
The difference with the Lauf is that the additional shock absorption you get from the Lauf does not compromise handling like a underinflated tire, so you get absorption AND you get stability.
It's like a thudbuster, but for the entire front end of the bike.
So far I have not found it to be all that sloppy, but it certainly is light!
I'm borrowing a freind's Lauf Carbonar light, running 29+, 60mm stem, large Beargrease, I'm 200#. At this point I would not getting the Lauf Carbonara stiff. Sag, if there is such a thing with the Carbonara is 25-30% and I cannot compress the travel at a standstill by more than 60-70%.
I'll be riding hard tonight, some jumping and small drops, but if I don't have a signfiicant number of bottoming outs, I'll stick with the lighter weight springs.
