Is Surly Troll discontinued?
Surly (quietly) made the announcement that marks the end of an era. All three of these bikes, the non-disc LHT, Troll, and Pugsley, have been discontinued. Fortunately, there’s still plenty of crossover in Surly’s bike range, and options like the Ogre, ECR, and Krampus remain intact.
What is surly troll?
The SURLY TROLL is a Touring Off Road bike. This bike has the soul and the build of a large carrier. The frame, as in its early hours, is made of steel Cromo 4130 Double Butted with the specifications of the brand Surly. Unlike previous versions, the frame is not designed to be compatible with a front suspension fork.
How much does the Surly Troll weight?
The bike’s frame weighs approximately 35lbs, which makes it heavier than most mountain bikes, but lighter than most touring bikes. Check out our guide to the best cyclocross bikes if you need a light and fast bike.
How big is the troll bike in surly?
To those unversed in Surly’s range of inspiringly idiosyncratic bicycles, the Troll is basically a mountain bike frame built around 26in wheels, brazed and drilled with all the bits you need to load up and go touring – whether that be a night in the local woods, riding the Great Divide, or an epic journey across a continent.
What kind of fork does surly troll come with?
The Troll comes as a frame and fork. Here it is in Ecuador. I live for dirt, and have found that with a rigid fork, a combination of panniers (these ones are Arkels) and a framepack (Porcelain Rocket) helps distribute weight nicely on gnarly South American trails.
Is the surly troll a fully Ladden machine?
The Troll has carried my four overstuffed panniers with confidence – a bloated 35kgs worth of gear – be it on or off road. In fact, I was surprised by how well it does ride as a fully ladden machine, seeing as its tubeset is no beefier than Surly’s singlespeed frame, the 1×1.
What kind of disc brake does surly troll use?
The Troll can run derailleurs, a Rohloff Speedhub – a third bolt anchors the OEM2 plate in place – or slim down to singlespeed. The position of the disc brake tab allows a conventional rack to be teamed with Avid’s mechanical BB7s. Inevitably this versatility leads to a few compromises.
