Surly Krampus: Reignite Your Trail Adventures
The original trailblazer of the plus-tire revolution, the Surly Krampus redefines all-terrain versatility for dedicated bikepackers and adventure cyclists craving unshakable stability. Engineered for conquering unpredictable landscapes—from root-strewn singletrack to snow-covered paths or loose sandy stretches—this beast thrives where others hesitate.
Built Rugged, Rides Smooth:
Crafted entirely from resilient Surly 4130 CroMoly steel, its double-butted main triangle and signature trumpet tubes (shared with the acclaimed Karate Monkey) absorb trail chatter while delivering legendary durability. The rigid steel fork complements this, offering precise handling whether you’re navigating tight forest bends or loaded for a multi-day expedition.
Unmatched Compatibility & Customization:
Gnot-Boost Genius: Forget hub headaches. The innovative 145mm rear spacing seamlessly adapts to Boost 148x12mm, 142x12mm thru-axles, and classic 135mm quick-release hubs—future-proof your build or use existing wheelsets.
* Massive Tire Clearance: Designed explicitly for confidence-inspiring 29 x 3.0″ rubber, floating over obstacles with ease for superior traction in mud, snow, or sand.
* Upgrade-Ready Design: Internal routing for dropper seatposts ensures clean integration when you’re ready to enhance technical descents. The 30.9mm seat tube offers broad saddle post compatibility.
* 44mm Headtube:* Guarantees precise steering and compatibility with modern tapered forks if you ever choose to swap.

The Krampus isn’t just a bike; it’s your passport to uncharted terrain, offering unparalleled stability for bikepacking essentials and the ruggedness to endure years of demanding trail use. Conquer gravel roads, forest paths, or backcountry routes with unwavering confidence.
