Cyclocross Bikes

Bikes come and go, but All-City's Macho King is a keeper, a fast, furious race machine that only gets better with time. The heirloom-quality Reynolds 853 frame is race-day light, sprints like a champion, and harnesses the damping powers of steel to soar over less than perfect terrain. A 44mm head tube and tapered, carbon Whisky No. 7 fork keep the front end pinned to the inside line. The SRAM Rival 22 drivetrain features crisp, high-speed shifting that will make even the most hardened 'cross racer grin from ear to ear. And in the hurly burly of a high-stakes 'cross race, Hayes mechanical disc brakes are just the ticket, allowing you to sprint into the corners and scrub speed easily no matter the conditions. Stan's NoTubes Iron Cross rims light, quick off the line, and tubeless ready. Clement's intermediate tread MXP tire is a rock solid choice for mixed conditions, when your days encompass dirt, pavement, grass, and gravel. A Zipp seatpost and stem, Salsa Cowbell 2 handlebars, and Fizik Aliante Delta saddle provide the finishing kit, ensuring that rider contact points are covered in the same quality as the rest of the build. You can hear the cheering crowds in the distance. All hail the king.

Straggler is a bikepacking-inspired road/gravel bike mostly at home on pavement but ready for trail duty when called. Born on Gravel. Raised on Pavement Straggler is tuned for cross-over exploration on a wide variety of terrain conditions. It's a day-tripper and a weekender. It's a "rough road" road bike, a cyclocross bike with no pretense about racing, a utilitarian townie, a light-duty touring bike and an all-weather commuter. It's a steel gravel bicycle that thrives on the road. Think of it as a "mountain biker's road bike." If you only have room for one bike in your life, Straggler can (and should) be your one and only. Straggler's capabilities go well beyond asphalt. It also lends itself well to light touring setups. We're talking frame bags, seat bags, and "credit card touring" rather than full-blown touring. Straggler also handles our 8- and 24-Pack Racks well, so you have some heavier-duty loading options. - Accommodations for racks and fenders - Forward-exiting horizontal dropouts for singlespeed compatibility and wheelbase adjustability - Clearance for 650B x 41mm tires with fenders!

To brake or to disc brake? The debate isn't getting any colder and Surly decided it's best to let you choose. Straggler is bred from Surly's revered rim-brake Cross-Check and comes out a lot the same, but also a little different. Frame geometry is pretty close, and you get all the attachment provisions for racks, fenders, and bottle cages that make these bikes something more utilitarian than a standard 'cross racer. Disc brakes are the obvious change though, and the Straggler sports Hayes CX Experts with 160mm rotors front and rear. The athletic character continues with a SRAM Apex 2x10 drivetrain, giving you a useful gear range for any type of riding you can dream up, and continues with 32-hole alloy Alex XD-E Lite rims wrapped in Surly's own super-versatile 700c x 41 Knard rubber. A Salsa Cowbell handlebar is great for riding on mixed terrain, too, giving you a bit more control when it's loose while retaining comfortable positioning for cranking into the wind. Make it your gravel explorer on weekends, your trusty commuter during the week, and go collect all the hand-ups when cyclocross season rolls around. This Straggler's lookin' for a good time and you seem like the type to oblige.

650b what? In the old days when randonneuring bikes ruled on long rides over mixed surfaces, the 650b tire size was perfectly suited for moving fast under control. Surly took this concept and applied it to the Straggler, a disc brake-equipped any-road type of bike bred from their revered Cross Check. The slightly smaller wheels accommodate smaller frame sizes and plump tire widths, creating options where few exist in this realm of bike riding. Disc brakes highlight the Straggler 650b story, sporting Hayes CX Experts with 160mm rotors front and rear.
