Designed to go where no normal fat bike can, the Surly Moonlander is for riders who want otherworldly capabilities on rocky shorelines, sand, snow, and desolate landscapes.
A portal into previously unridden terrain, Moonlander goes where other fat bikes do not dare, where traction is a supposed myth. Surly's newly developed, high-volume Molenda tires were key to this design. Equipped with 61cm x 15.7cm (24 x 6.2") tires on 100mm rims, such a large footprint allows you to ride at very low pressure, enabling the ability to float over a geographic smorgasbord of otherworldly terrain including rocky dunes, creeping shorelines, frozen beaches, and sinuous stretches of snow. While these proprietary tires surpass the limitations of current fat bikes, the Moonlander still rides like a normal bike, making it easier and more fun to navigate previously unrideable terrain.
Carefully crafted from 4130 Chromoly steel, the frame features a bottom bracket height that supplies plenty of clearance for bushwhacking and monster-trucking without losing out on stability. The top tube maximizes standover height and foot dabs into soft substances, while keeping the headtube high so you can set up your rig in a comfortable, all-day-grind riding position. This is Surly's first bike with a 9-speed Pinion gearbox, an innovative approach to spur gearing that improves reliability and go-anywhere performance with less maintenance.
