Urban Utility Surly Big Dummy Durable Steel Cargo Bicycle in Eggplant

The Big Fat Dummy is engineered for those who demand rugged reliability and unmatched stability when tackling rugged trails or hauling heavy loads across varied terrain. Built around oversized fat tires (up to 26×5.25″), this long-tail cargo bike delivers exceptional traction and control whether you’re commuting with kids and groceries or embarking on off-road adventures with gear-loaded panniers. Its backbone is a premium Surly 4130 chromoly steel frame—double-butted for strength in high-stress zones—with a reinforced 44mm headtube ensuring precise steering even when fully loaded.

Key Features at a Glance:
– Sturdy Construction: Reinforced chromoly steel frame designed for heavy-duty hauling without flexing under load
– Terrain Mastery: Clearance for massive 5.25″ tires provides grip on mud, gravel, and uneven paths
– Complete System: Ships ready-to-go with Dummy deck platform, adjustable rails, storage bags, and secure collars

Why Choose the Big Fat Dummy?
While competitors often compromise on frame durability or accessory integration (many only include basic decks), this bike prioritizes versatility and completeness from day one. Its wide tires outperform narrower setups on unstable surfaces by distributing weight evenly—ideal for farmers’ market runs or mountain bike camping trips. The reinforced geometry ensures confidence when carrying up to 300 lbs of cargo without sacrificing handling sharpness.
