Demo Surly Straggler Steel Adventure Bike – Cold Blue/SizeL/Adventure
$307.68
Description
The Surly Straggler isn’t just a bike—it’s your ultimate multipurpose companion for any adventure life throws your way. Whether you’re conquering rough urban commutes, tackling gravel paths on weekends, or loading up for light touring trips, this versatile steel steed adapts effortlessly to your needs. Built with Surly’s signature ruggedness and adaptability, it’s equally at home as an all-weather commuter or a rugged road explorer—no pretense required.
At its core lies a robust frame crafted from 100% proprietary 4130 chromoly tubing, TIG-welded for strength and double-butted for responsiveness. An ED-coated finish ensures longevity against harsh conditions while forward-exiting horizontal dropouts offer singlespeed compatibility and wheelbase adjustability—perfect for mixing tires up to 650b x 41mm with your preferred drivetrain setup. With fender eyelets, rack mounts front and rear, and dual bottle bosses, this bike transforms seamlessly between setups: slap on fenders for winter rides or swap out grips for weekend gravel trails.
Equipped with SRAM Apex 1×11 components paired with tubeless-ready Alex Adventurer wheels and grippy Surly Knard tires, it balances performance and practicality without compromise. Its sloping crown fork adds stability on mixed terrain while disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power in any weather.
Designed for riders 5’5″–6’7″, sizes are tailored to fit diverse builds—making it ideal for commuters seeking daily reliability or adventure seekers craving flexibility. This CPSC test model shows minimal wear on tires/brakes but boasts a pristine frame/fork under warranty—ready to hit the road fresh out of the box.
Why Straggler Stands Out:
– Versatility: Outperforms single-purpose bikes by adapting to cyclocross racing prep or casual weekend touring
– Durability: Chromoly steel construction vs lightweight aluminum frames prone to fatigue
– Customization: More mounting points than rival models (fenders/racks/bottles)
– Value: Superior build quality at an accessible price point compared to high-end hybrids
Swap parts freely—this bike grows with your riding ambitions without ever losing its rugged charm.
