Bikemonger says... Like many others we mourn the fact that the original Long Haul Trucker is no more. One of the joys of touring is coming down a mountain in the dark, wet weather, fully loaded with luggage, and grabbing the brakes with all your strength and wrestling to keep the bike on the tarmac in a tightening corner... or is it just me? Enter the Disc Trucker. All the capability, value, durability and ride quality of the old LHT but with a few 21st century touches like flat mount disc brakes, thru axles, clearance for wide tyres with mudguards and tweaked geometry for a more comfortable ride. We still miss the excitement of those descents though. 

Surly says..... Disc Trucker enjoys the same reputation as Long Haul Trucker: It’s one of the best-riding and most value-packed drop bar touring bikes out there. Sometimes, however, a combination of load, climate, and terrain demands a bit more braking performance than a standard rim-brake LHT can provide.

That’s where the newly redesigned Disc Trucker comes in. Packing reliable stopping power and a horde of useful mounting points, shortened chainstays up the Disc Trucker’s stiffness and maneuverability around corners. Add in improved fit and handling under load, plus captured thru-axles for tool-free removal and installation, and the Disc Trucker is ready to help you meet — or dodge — your daily obligations.

- Dynamo routing on the fork, plus three-pack mounts on the blade and every braze-on you’ll ever need for racks, fenders, water bottle cages, and more
- 12mm thru-axles for a stiffer feel and increased stability when fully loaded
- Shortened seat tube and slightly sloped top tube for improved stand-over clearance, plus increased stack height for a more upright and comfortable riding position on those long hauls
- Spec’d with the Truck Stop Bar and tubeless Extra Terrestrial tires for dependable handling and traction
- Flat-mount disc brakes
- Clearance for 26” x 2.1” tires with or without fenders.
