The Karate Monkey is Surly's 29" wheeled do-everything mountain bike. Why 29"? Because larger diameter wheels offer more traction and the have the ability to roll up and over obstacles better. The traction is enhanced by having a longer contact patch of rubber on the ground, which helps prevent your rear wheel from slipping on loose terrain and allows you to maintain your speed through corners. 29" wheels also have more air volume, so you can lower the air pressure more than you are accustomed to with an equivalent 26" tire. This enhances both the traction and rollover characteristics. Whether riding through babyhead rocks, braking bumps or tree roots, you’ll notice yourself getting through these sections much easier.

Big. Easy.

The Trail SL 29’ers makes the going easy. 29” wheels roll effortlessly while stable geometry inspires confidence. Get going.
