Karate Monkey complete bikes now come with Tektro 2-piston hydraulic brakes!
The Extra Small in purple still has the mechanical brakes, which we recommend upgrading to some Shimano Deore 4-piston hydraulic brakes (we'll install them for free if you purchase them with the bike).
The Surly Karate Monkey is a do-it-all bikepacking, touring, mountain biking, or even hectic commuter bike. Fun enough for good time and serious enough for the long haul.
Features:
- Oodles of frame mounts for all kinds of accessories such as racks and water bottles or micropanniers
- Clearance for 29"x2.5" or 27.5"x3" tyres
- 12 speed Shimano components
- Modern trail standards: dropper post compatibility, 44mm headtube, Gnot-Boost rear spacing, thru-axles, suspension corrected fork
