SURLY Disc Trucker
SKU SUR-LHT-XX
The Long Haul Trucker enjoys a reputation as one of the best riding and most value-packed touring bikes out there. Sometimes a combination of load, climate and terrain demands a bit more braking performance than a rim brake LHT provides.
That’s where the Disc Trucker comes in. It’s a Long Haul Trucker with 51mm I.S. caliper mounts instead of rim brake mounts. When designing the Disc Trucker, we started with a brand new set of rear dropouts which place the caliper mount between the chain and seat stays, providing uncompromising clearance for a rack and fender. This means no jury-rigging to get your rack to play nice with your disc caliper.
Mcget says: this (or the SURLY Troll) is the bike that may finally end my lifelong avoidance of disc brakes.
