Surly Straggler Fork

The Straggler is a versatile all-rounder designed for gravel riding, commuting, and light touring. Its geometry prioritizes long-distance comfort and stability, making it a reliable choice for mixed-surface adventures where durability matters more than pure speed.

Yes, it is designed with flat-mount disc brake compatibility. This allows you to run modern, reliable hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes for consistent stopping power in all weather conditions.

This version of the Straggler uses 12mm thru-axles for both the front and rear. The front spacing is 12mm x 100mm, and the rear spacing is 12mm x 142mm, which provides a stiffer, more secure wheel connection compared to traditional quick-release setups.

The Straggler is built with generous tire clearance, allowing you to run wider tires suitable for gravel and rougher terrain. While specific clearance can vary based on rim width and tread pattern, it is designed to handle the varied surfaces typical of all-road riding.

The Straggler is constructed from durable steel. Steel is chosen for its ride quality, which offers a natural vibration-damping effect that makes long days in the saddle more comfortable, as well as its long-term reliability.
