This isn't just any giveaway; it's a chance to win a beautifully crafted, highly versatile trail bike, fully kitted out with top-notch US-made components. But what makes this contest truly special is the opportunity to win a bike that's not only high-performance but also a work of art, blending functionality and style seamlessly.
A Bike Like No Other
The Surly Karate Monkey is a trail bike that stands out from the crowd. Its 100% Surly Chromoly Steel frame and fork provide a robust and lightweight foundation, while the external cable routing and dropper post routing add to its sleek aesthetic. The bike's versatility is further enhanced by its compatibility with both rigid forks and 140mm travel suspension forks, making it a go-to choice for a wide range of riders and trail conditions. What's more, the Karate Monkey boasts big tire clearance, accommodating 29 x 2.5" or 27.5 x 3.0" tires, and an abundance of mounting points for cages, racks, and bags, ensuring it can handle any adventure you throw at it.
The Wheels MFG Upgrade
The giveaway bike is an upgraded version of the stock, rigid build, featuring Tektro HD-M275 disc brakes, 27.5 x 3.0" Surly Dirt Wizard tires, and a Shimano Deore crankset. But what really sets this bike apart is the Wheels MFG upgrade. The chainring, seatpost collar, bottom bracket, rear cog, cog, headset spacers, and bolts have all been meticulously upgraded with Wheels MFG's machined Satin Orange components, adding a touch of elegance and performance to every part. This upgrade not only enhances the bike's aesthetics but also ensures a smoother, more responsive ride.
