As cross-country is getting ever more demanding on bike and rider, modern XC bikes are beginning to look rather different. Case in point of the Lauf Elja. With it, the brand has taken a much simpler approach, and it’s paid off. With excellent trail manners both up and down, Lauf has created a versatile and light, but mega confident machine that marks an exciting future for cross-country. However, it suffers from heel rub, it’s wireless-only, its LSP system isn’t completely trouble-free, and some may disagree with its looks. Are cross-country bikes the new quiver killers?
