A tried and true touring bike

Surly Long Haul Trucker has been synonymous with the term bicycle touing for well over a decade. However, rim brakes were falling out of favor so Long Haul Trucker was discontinued to let its twin model Disc Trucker completely take over the helm.

The Disc Trucker offers additional braking power when needed especially in wet and muddy conditions. Also in the situation where the wheel is out of true or suffers from a broken spoke, the wobbly wheel won't affect the bike's ability to stop since the disc is attached to the hub, not the rim.

Surly Disc Trucker is a time-tested touring bicycle designed to carry you and your gear over long distances. It is loaded with touring-specific features to help make your touring experience a memorable one, whether you're on a weekend trip to get away from the mundane or an all-out adventure trekking across America.

When there's just you and your bike in the middle of nowhere and away from civilization, you can trust the Disc Trucker Trucker to be a loyal and reliable companion to carry you and your gear through the whole journey. With hundreds of Disc Trucker and Long Haul Truckers we've customized and sold over the years, we can attest to Dics Trucker's second-to-none reliability record.

A great commuter bike around town

The low center of gravity and stretched wheelbase also provide a stable and forgiving ride. The Surly Long Haul Trucker is truly a Jack of all trades.
