The Surly Karate Monkey 27.5+ Suspension Mountain Bike Frame is engineered to meet the demands of diverse off-road adventures, combining versatility with robust construction. This frame continues Surly’s tradition of innovation by integrating the benefits of 27.5+ tires, which maintain the rolling diameter of 29” wheels while enhancing traction and flotation through wider, knobby tires. Its design caters to riders who seek both aggressive trail performance and technical mountain biking capabilities, ensuring stability and confidence across varied terrains.
Constructed with a new tubeset inspired by the Instigator 2.0 series, the frame features internal routing for dropper posts, promoting a streamlined appearance and improved handling during descents. The horizontal dropout with Gnot-Boost spacing supports an array of hub configurations including 10 x 135mm QR, 12 x 142, and 12 x 148 Boost™, offering exceptional adaptability for wheel choices. Additionally, the 44mm headtube accommodates a broad selection of forks, while the internal ED coating safeguards the frame from corrosion, extending its service life and reliability.
Adaptability is a key attribute of the Karate Monkey frame, which can seamlessly transition to traditional 29” wheels and tires, providing riders with the flexibility to customize their setup according to specific trail conditions or personal preferences. Its progressive geometry and trail-focused design make it a dependable platform for mountain bikers who prioritize both performance and customization in their equipment.
Can I use standard 29” wheels on this frame?
Yes, the Karate Monkey frame is designed to accommodate standard 29” wheels and tires, allowing you to swap between wheel sizes easily depending on your riding preference.
What hub standards are compatible with the frame?
The frame supports multiple hub standards including 10 x 135mm QR, 12 x 142, and 12 x 148 Boost™, giving you flexibility in choosing your preferred wheel setup.
