Surly Karate Monkey Bike – 27.5″, Steel, Fool’s Gold, Medium

The bike that started it all — the plus-size movement that is. The Krampus Front Sus takes it a step further with the addition of front suspension and a dropper post, providing more traction, more control, more fun.

Rolling on 29” x 2.6” tires, this bike can get you over just about anything you point it at.

The Lowside is the bike that gets you across town for a quick rip on singletrack, then over to the bar for a night out. It’s the bike you turn to when you’re not entirely sure what the night has in store. It’s the bike to grab when you want to have just much fun riding to the trail as you do from the trail itself. Singlespeeding is an integral part of Surly’s DNA, and the Lowside continues the tradition, by taking a simpler approach to trail riding.
