【BIKE of the WEEK】SURLY / Disc Trucker

We built this bike to fulfill the owner’s desire: primarily for city riding, but with the hope of going camping in the future.

We just delivered this bike the other day.
With camping trips in mind, we chose the Disc Trucker, which offers a stable ride even when loaded with gear.

Not Just for Daily Use, But for Adventure Too

To ensure it’s ready not just for daily commutes, but also for challenging various types of terrain, we installed the MICROSHIFT Advent component group! Instead of chasing the latest trends, we prioritized ease of use and reliability for a component set that’s built to be put to the test. The wide 11-42t range ensures you can push forward on any path.
Whether you're dashing through city canyons or climbing wild mountain trails, this bike is ready for it all!

Keep Your Eyes Up!!

The best part of city riding and touring might be delicious food, but more than anything, it’s the scenery.
The HUNTER CYCLES Smooth Move Bar / High Rise we installed features a bend that sweeps upward from the base of the bar.
Because of this, it keeps your line of sight high and allows for a relaxed posture, helping you stay stress-free and truly enjoy the view as you ride.

You Should Just Paint It Your Favorite Color.

We decided, “Let’s just paint it in your favorite color!” and had it custom-painted by KYUTAI PAINT to the owner's specifications. When I showed the owner the freshly painted frame and said, “Isn’t this an incredible color?”, they replied, “It’s such an amazing color!!”—we were both super hyped about how well it turned out.

And that is how this one-of-a-kind, forest-green, matte-finished Disc Trucker was born.

It hasn’t been long since the delivery, but I’m sure this bike will see plenty of beautiful sights and bring many wonderful cycling memories.
