Surly Straggler
Surly Straggle could be the one bike in your life to carry you form the workday to where the pavement ends. It' can be your urban workhorse, but it’s not afraid to go off the beaten path, so no missed opportunities or roads not taken. It’s the ultimate day-tripper, mixed-terrain explorer, and microescape companion.
Straggler can be outfitted with a range of front or rear racks as well as frame bags for flexible cargo carrying, to seamlessly shift from commuting to getting out of town. Model highlights:
650b or 700c wheels (varies by frame size) for optimized rider fit
Racks and fender mounts, plus two standard and one three-pack bottle mounts on all frames
Choice of intuitive Shimano CUES or premium GRX drivetrain
Updated thru-axle dropouts for improved stiffness and handling
Modern flat-mount brake mounts, internal dropper routing, and 44mm headtube
Lower bottom bracket and sloping top tube adds stability and better standover
50mm tire clearance w/o fenders on 700c for confident, comfortable riding on eroded terrain
