We love a good excuse to work on our bikes (Which is obviously why we created our Hangar System). We are constantly swapping parts, and tinkering. Not everything we do is always practical, but who cares - it's your bike, do what you want! There is a time and place for drop bar gravel bikes no doubt, so we are by no means here to give a drop bar vs. flat bar breakdown. Simply here to show a cool build we put together for a week of riding in Whitefish Montana while showcasing our 'mount anywhere ' travel bike stand, the Hangar Connect .

We will leave the in-depth reviews to the pro's but here are some things we love about the new Lauf Seigla gravel bike.

1. Price / Build: The weekend warrior wireless starts at USD $3,640 and you get a Carbon Frame / JAF 2nd gen Carbon Fork / Smoothie Handlebar / Wireless Rival AXS XPLR / Single-sided Rival Power Meter / e*thirteen XCX Wheels. 
2. Geometry: Long, Low, Fast! It is fun and playful but still feels fast when it's time to get in the drops or out of the saddle. Well balanced and climbs like a champ! 
3. Tire Clearance: Clearance for 2.25 tire (we are running Maxxis Ikon 2.2). 

Ultimately, this is probably our favorite bike strait out of the box. We have ridden it on road, gravel and single track and while it of course feels most at home on gravel, it preformed wonderfully on all. We look forward to bringing this bike with us to race and expo at events such as Unbound Gravel, Big Sugar Gravel, The Mid South, Sea Otter Classic, Rule of 3 and  more. But for now we will keep enjoying it around our HQ in Bentonville, AR (AKA Mountain Bike Capital Of The World). 

This is was a quick post and we will work on sharing a bit more soon. For now, here are some more pictures. Please reach out if you have any questions about the Lauf Seigla or our travel friendly bike stands!
