New Surly Lowside MTB Frameset – Dream Tangerine

The Surly Lowside is your ultimate companion for adventures that blur the lines between trailblazing and urban exploration. Whether you’re tackling technical singletrack or navigating city streets after dark, this bike delivers uncompromising simplicity and versatility wrapped in Surly’s iconic ruggedness. Built for riders who thrive on spontaneity—the Lowside is ready whenever your plans shift from a post-work ride to a spontaneous night out with friends.

At its core lies Surly’s legendary commitment to singlespeed excellence. The Lowside’s frame is crafted from premium 4130 chromoly steel, featuring double-butting on the main triangle for a balance of strength and responsiveness that’s perfect for all-day epics or quick commutes to the trails. Paired with a 1-1/8” threadless chromoly fork, it handles rough terrain with ease while maintaining agility on paved paths. Designed for wide tires up to 26” x 3” or 27.5” x 2.8”, it conquers everything from gnarly dirt paths to cobblestone streets with confidence.

This bike isn’t just about capability—it’s built for fun and flexibility. The Gnot-Boost rear spacing (135mm) ensures compatibility with existing wheels and components, saving you from costly upgrades while maintaining reliable performance. Front and rear Surly thru-axles add stiffness and stability whether you’re bombing downhill trails or weaving through downtown traffic. And with dropper post routing integrated into the design, you can enjoy all-day comfort on longer rides without sacrificing style.
