Surly Bridge Club: All-Terrain Touring Companion

Built for cyclists who crave versatility without compromise, the Bridge Club seamlessly transitions from urban commutes to rugged backcountry trails. Its rugged-yet-refined design prioritizes durability while maintaining nimble handling for mixed-surface adventures.

Core Advantages
✓ Dual-Terrain Mastery: 700x47mm (fender-compatible) or 27.5×2.8″ tires adapt to pavement precision or dirt trail confidence
✓ Load-Ready Geometry: 4×3-pack mounting system supports front/rear racks + frame bags (max 120kg capacity)
✓ Weatherproof Construction: E.D.-coated Chromoly steel frame resists corrosion; hydroformed tubes reduce weight by 15% vs standard steel
✓ Disc Brake Optimization: Single-position rear dropout simplifies wheel swaps; 160mm rotors provide consistent stopping power in wet/dry conditions

Performance Build Highlights
– Drivetrain: Shimano Deore 32t/11-51t 11-speed system (11-51t cassette)
– Braking: Tektro Hydro HD-M275/276 dual-piston calipers
– Wheels: Novatec disc hubs + WTB ST i29 TCS rims (tubeless-ready)
– Suspension: None – rigid design optimizes weight distribution for loaded touring

Adventure-Ready Fit Guide
| Rider Height | Frame Size | Saddle Drop |
|——————-|————|————|
| 150-165cm | XS | 80mm |
| 163-173cm | SM/M | 90mm |
| 170-183cm | MD/LG | 100mm |
| 180-200cm | XL | 110mm |

Why Bridge Club Stands Out
Compared to traditional touring bikes:
✔️ 27% more tire clearance than aluminum competitors (accepts up to 2.8″ MTB tires)
✔️ 40% lighter rear end vs rigid steel touring frames (due to double-butted Chromoly construction)
✔️ Disc brake-specific design eliminates wheel spacing issues common with cantiilever setups

Ideal for:
– Cross-country bikepacking expeditions
– Urban commuters needing weekend trail capability
– International touring requiring mixed-surface reliability

The Bridge Club redefines modern touring with its paradoxical blend of rugged steel construction and lightweight agility – engineered to keep you rolling through unplanned adventures with total confidence.
