"It's been a long time since I regretfully sold my Surly Straggler, but man, I really loved that bike. It did it all, and did it with aplomb. For the most part, the Straggler has been left pretty much untouched for many years. But Surly has just launched a new version, and it looks better than ever! Surly is using the word performance to help describe this generation Straggler."
"My straggler was a great bike that I miss very much. It could be anything I needed it to be. The new Straggler is the same type of bicycle, but this time around is much more refined for the rider. It's got a more dialed-in fit range and comfortable geometry. It also now runs with front and rear thru-axles and modern flat-mount brakes."
Surly's Straggler is redesigned around a performance definition focused on durability and capability on rough terrain. The steel frame optimizes geometry, tubing, and wheel size to preserve a confident ride feel while improving fit and handling. The frame accepts 650b or 700c wheels depending on size, offers dropper post capability, front and rear thru-axles, flat-mount brakes, a 44mm head tube, and up to 50mm tire clearance. Racks and fender mounts plus modern component standards enable gravel riding, low-maintenance roads, light bikepacking, day trips, errands, and light cargo duties as a practical quiver-killer.
