Benedikt Skúlason the founder of Lauf was born and raised in Reykjavik, Iceland. 
Currently living in Harrisonburg VA.

Amazing husband and dad to 2 kids

 

Aside from cycling (and various other sports), Bene has been into inventing, designing and building things. Started out with Lego as a kid, and designed and made competition robots in College. 

Today he is still doing the “same” thing. Designing, inventing and making “stuff”, all day every day.

How the Suspension Fork came to be:  Bene spent a year at Össur HF, the world leader in prosthetics, designing flexible carbon fibre leaf spring feet.

Founded Lauf in 2011 with a childhood friend Guðberg Björnsson, bringing his invention of a leaf-sprung lightweight suspension fork to life.

-In 2017/2018 Lauf moved on to full bikes, from “just” forks, with our True Grit gravel race bike.

-In 2022 we launched our next iteration of a gravel race bike, the Lauf Seigla.

-In 2023 we opened our US assembly factory in Harrisonburg VA.
