Just a few of the Surly bikes we stock
Surly — Moonlander Moonlander, like its name implies, is meant to go beyond where normal bikes, even normal fat bikes, can go. It is designed from the ground up to ride where there are no roads, no trails, no people. You know by now that Moonlander picks up where Pugsley left off. Moonlander accomodates staggeringly wide 4.7˝ tires on 100mm rims. Such a large footprint allows you to ride them at very low pressure, and like a snowshoe enables even greater traction and float over all kinds of terrain…wet stuff, roots, rocks, pebbles, gravel, sand, and many types of snow. Like all of our framesets, the Moonlander is made of Surly 4130 CroMoly steel. It features 135mm-spaced, 28mm-offset, rear-loading Surly horizontal dropouts (track ends) with a derailleur hanger…meaning you can set it up as a singlespeed or geared bike, derailleured or internally geared. The bottom bracket height gives you clearance for bushbashing and monster-trucking. The dropped and gusseted toptube maximizes standover height. And the tallish headtube allows you to set your rig up with a comfortable riding position for those long days grinding out the miles in the saddle.

Surly — Pugsley By now you know that Pugsley was created to go where standard 'all terrain' bikes flounder. The floatation and traction afforded by large-volume, low-pressure tires can get you over and through otherwise unrideable terrain, such as sand, mud, wet rocks and roots, ice, and snow. Wide, low-pressure tires are easier than standard tires on whatever terrain you pass over because they don't dig in as easily. The Pugsley frame has horizontal rear dropouts with a derailleur hanger. You can set it up with derailleurs or an internally geared hub, or set it up as a singlespeed or fixed-gear. The stock fork accepts a 135mm rear mountain hub, just like the frame. This makes it easier to install and remove the wheel (a big tire on a big rim benefits from a wide opening), but more to the point also allows front and rear wheel interchangeability. This means you can have another full gear cluster, a singlespeed or a fixed-gear wheel option should something go wrong with your freehub body or derailleurs. In other words, it's one more option for getting you back out from whatever situation you've gotten yourself into.

Surly — Krampus There's been a lot of buzz lately about fat bikes such as our Pugsley and Moonlander, bikes with massive 4 and 5? tires designed to crawl over and through unusual or difficult terrain. These types of bikes are all about stability, traction, and floatation. The Krampus is not the same animal. True, it's got bigger-than-usual tires (29 x 3? Knard tires on 50mm Rabbit Hole rims, to be exact), a platform we have dubbed "29+". But as you may know, we're not the kind of people to just throw on bigger-than-usual tires for no reason, or to attract attention. While the big tires are impossible to ignore, and do in fact offer increased traction and some degree of float, don't assume that these big tires are only for slow speed crawling. The Krampus's frame (geometry, tubing diameter and thickness) has been designed with a long toptube and as short a rear end as we could get away with. This, when combined with the big, wide tires, results in a mad amount of rolling inertia and grip. It can go real fast. Hub spacing is standard 100mm front and 135mm rear, with rear fork ends that accommodate a derailleur or singlespeed set up.
