Because the Beargrease is a fat mountain bike and the Lauf is a gravel race bike, you're really comparing apples to bananas here. Look at the stack and reach numbers, but I suspect the stem, handlebars, and general riding position are contributing to the difference in comfort.

Maybe, but I was thinking something along the lines of an actual mountain bike. Geometry-wise, the Beargrease has more in common with, say, a Timberjack.
