SURLY Disc Trucker 2026 Custom-Build Sora 9spd STI & 105 7070 Handbuilt wheels
Now available in the 2026 Grandpa's Khakis (Beige) colour.
Disc Trucker enjoys the same reputation as Long Haul Trucker: It's one of the best-riding and most value-packed drop bar touring bikes out there. Sometimes, however, a combination of load, climate, and terrain demands a bit more braking performance than a standard rim-brake LHT can provide.
That's where the newly redesigned Disc Trucker comes in. Packing reliable stopping power and a horde of useful mounting points, shortened chainstays to increase the Disc Trucker's stiffness and maneuverability around corners. Add in improved fit and handling under load, plus captured thru-axles for tool-free removal and installation, and the Disc Trucker is ready to help you meet or dodge your daily obligations.
