FAQ

Is Disc Trucker still the Surly for traditional bicycle touring?

10-4, good buddy. Disc Trucker is our classic loaded drop-bar touring bike, built for mostly paved routes. If you’re looking forward to long days on the road with a rack-and-pannier setup, Disc Trucker will never steer your wrong.

Why choose Disc Trucker for cross-country or long-distance riding?

Disc Trucker is built to do one thing: keep on truckin’, even with a heavy load. Its stability and durability have carried countless intrepid riders and their gear on cross-country and even around-the-world tours.

Disc Trucker vs Bridge Club: which is better for touring?

The answer to this lies in the routes you hope to hit on your tours. If your planned route is all rail trails, highways, and other paved surfaces, Disc Trucker is a solid bet. If you think your journeys will included lots of gravel (intentional or otherwise), Bridge Club is more suited to mixed-terrain touring.

Can Disc Trucker handle gravel roads during a tour?

No problem. With tire clearance up to 26 x 2.1” or 700c x 47mm, Disc Trucker easily handles gravel detours and shortcuts. But pavement is its happy place. If you’re planning routes that are heavy on the gravel, then a bike like Bridge Club or Ogre is probably more your speed.

You bet. Disc Trucker’s road manners and cargo capacity make it a fine choice for commuting and daily paved riding around town. After all, it can’t tell the difference between 25 pounds of camping gear in California and 25 pounds of groceries in Cleveland. At least we think it can’t.
