Crafted from durable, high-quality Surly Chromoly steel, this frameset ensures a perfect blend of strength, responsiveness, and longevity for your off-road adventures.

Materials & Construction:

Constructed from 100% Surly Chromoly ‘Natch’ tubing, the Grappler’s double-butted main triangle provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining a lively ride feel.

Multiple mounting points-including seatstay bottle bosses, three-pack mounts on the down tube-enable easy gear and hydration integration. The horizontal-slotted dropouts facilitate versatile drivetrain configurations, while stealth dropper post routing simplifies future upgrades.
