Overview
About this bike
Imagine if a martial arts master had primate dexterity and was made of steel. You've now conceptualized the Surly Karate Monkey. The Karate Monkey is supremely versatile, capable of running skinny tires or massive treads (up to 2.55-inches wide), a rigid or 80mm squishy fork, rear racks, and disc brakes. And, while it can easily rock gears, it brings its A-Game to the singlespeed scene, too. Of course, the Monkey boasts Surly's fine butted chromoly tubing so you always enjoy a silky-smooth ride that's perfect for handling any terrain beneath your wheels, and there are short chainstays for a lively, fun ride you'll love.
