Surly Grappler - Sage Green

The Grappler is our dedicated drop-bar trail bike. Building off the customized setups we’ve seen riders experimenting with over the years, the Grappler captures a more confident, nimble, and reactive off-road/ drop-bar experience. Engineered first and foremost around a comfortable, stable drop-bar hand position, it offers trail-ready geo and impressive tire clearance for lively all- day rides on single track, double track, and gravel, as well as an assortment of mounts for those sub-24 and weekend bikepacking excursions.

HIGHLIGHTS

Built from our proprietary ‘Natch tubesets to handle rough terrain, the Grappler gives off-road riders a new perspective on familiar trails while luring them down dark and unknown arteries. With a higher stack and longer reach than similar-sized bikes in our lineup, fit, handling, hand position, and experience all come together in a tailor-made dirt-drop package.
