Surly updates the Straggler, goes down to 8 sizes
Surly Straggler, the American brand's do-everything drop-bar bike, has got a refresh. The new model now comes in eight frame sizes, down from 11, and has a revised geometry: higher stack and longer reach, a sloped top tube for easier standover, a lower seat tube for longer droppers and a touch more BB drop. The smaller frame sizes roll on 650b wheels.
The steel frameset (Surly 4130 ‘Natch’) comes with 12×100 / 12×142 thru-axles, flat-mount brakes, a 44 mm head tube diameter allowing for more fork options, internal dropper routing, and a number of mounts (two standard bottles plus a three-pack, rack/mudguard mounts on the fork).
The Straggler GRX is priced at US$2,499, the Straggler Cues at US$1,999, while framesets go for US$899/£900.
