Product Details

Building off the customized setups we’ve seen riders experimenting with over the years, we have created a more confident, nimble, and reactive bikepacking experience. This is a custom in house build from Burkes Cycles. Assembled with hand picked parts to be durable but more importantly, reliable.

The Grappler has been engineered first and foremost around a comfortable, stable position, that provides trail-ready geo and impressive tire clearance for lively all-day rides on singletrack, double track, and gravel, as well as a full assortment of mounts for bikepacking excursions.

About Surly
Many have tried — and failed — to define Surly. They make serious steel bikes and parts for people who don’t take themselves too seriously. You don’t need to wear a uniform or kit to ride a Surly. Just throw your leg over and go.
