Karate Monkey Trail Dominator

Built for riders who demand rugged reliability and trail-taming agility, this full-suspension steel beast combines Surly’s signature durability with modern mountain biking versatility.

Core Advantages
✓ Progressive Geometry: Optimized 67° head tube angle balances stability at speed with playful cornering
✓ Modular Build: 145mm Gnot-Boost dropouts adapt to 142/148mm thru-axles or 135mm QR setups (included washer kit)
✓ Tire Flexibility: Accommodates 29×2.55″ or 27.5×3″ tires – perfect for mixed terrain adventures
✓ Stealthy Steel: Double-butted chromoly frame/fork with E.D. coating weighs 13% less than standard steel frames

🚴 Fork: Double-butted tapered fork (32h spokes)
🛠️ Adjustable Features:
