The Surly Long Haul Trucker – Takes You Distances
The Surly Team are definitely on the laid back side. They are not worried about telling cyclists why they should buy Surly bikes, because cyclists will find that information out for themselves. In fact, they sometimes say we probably don’t need to buy another bike at all. And they’re not too worried about stressing all the benefits and good things about Surly Bikes either.
This all makes a change, wouldn’t you say? Surly are happy to rely on producing good bikes, rather than flashy TV adverts. The reputation for building great bikes that ride like a dream. Take the Surly Long Haul Trucker, or Surly LHT as it is affectionately known. You can of course be sure of the usual high quality Surly product, and a bike that is built for distances. It’s a top bike for carrying a pack of stuff. It’s all about functioning well and not seeking to look showy or flashy. The simplicity of the design is also a major bonus. Which many appreciate in these days of presentation, flashiness and spin.
What you’ll also find with the Surly Long Haul Trucker is how smooth and comfy it is – even when fully loaded it rides quite majestically.
Here are the nuts and bolts.
- 4130 CroMoly frame and fork
- Great commuter, light touring, do-it-all bike
- Ample fender clearance
- Shimano Tiagra front and rear derailleurs
- Forged aluminum crankarms
- 9 Speed Cassette 12-25t
- Tektro brakes and brake levers
- Shimano Bar-end shifters, 9 speed
- Shimano Deore hubs, DT Swiss spokes and Alex DA19 700c rims
- Ritchey SpeedMax Croos tires
- No pedals
