FAQ

Why is Ice Cream Truck the bike Surly reaches for when the trail is unknown?

When we’re uncertain about trail conditions, one thing’s for sure: they’ll be as crappy as possible. If you’ve ever ridden in snow, sand, or other soft surfaces on tires that were undersized for the job, you know it’s a slog. Ice Cream Truck’s 4.8″ fat bike tires float over soft surfaces and find traction everywhere they roll, so you’ll never have that problem again.

Is Ice Cream Truck only for winter riding?

Who told you that? Ice Cream Truck is a fat bike for all seasons. Point it at a rocky or sandy beach and be amazed. Take it bikepacking in bog country without getting bogged down. Or hit some singletrack to try your favorite lines with absurd amounts of traction. 

Ice Cream Truck vs Wednesday: which fat bike should I choose?

Choose Ice Cream Truck if you want to ride your fat bike like a mountain bike, or you want larger tires for maximum confidence in soft or unpredictable conditions. Choose Wednesday if you want a more all-around fat bike that works equally well for bikepacking and trail riding. 

Is Ice Cream Truck good for snow and sand?

Heck yep. Ice Cream Truck makes for an ideal snow and sand bike. Why? When properly aired down, its 26 x 4.8″ tires provide a wide enough footprint that you’ll find yourself floating over soft surfaces like snow, sand, and mud. It’s a trip.

Can Ice Cream Truck ride regular trails?

You bet. We designed Ice Cream Truck to ride like a trail bike, so imagine that but with tires that give you nearly unlimited traction. It’s as excellent as it sounds. If you’re looking for something a little more nimble or speedy on singletrack, check out Krampus, Karate Monkey, or Sorceress.
