Overview
About this bike
Say hello to Surly's dirt-jumping, trouble-starting, trail-shredding Instigator 2.0. The no-nonsense chromoly frame is made for riding fast and going big so it's super tough, but handles nimbly and accelerates like mad. A Fox suspension fork has 140mm of travel to tackle big hits and smooth out the trail. It's equipped with Surly's 26+ wheels, featuring 50mm-wide Rabbit Hole rims and 2.75-inch Dirt Wizard tires, so you get endless traction and cushion, yet with the snappy handling of a 26-inch rim. Smooth-shifting Shimano SLX drivetrain components and a single chainring up front give you enough gears to rally your local trails. And SLX discs throw down tons of well-modulated, dependable stopping power for when the fun starts to get out of hand.
