Mountain Bikes

This all-new composite chassis is built strong, light and fast for Giant enduro pros. A new suspension setup been developed, tested and raced at the highest levels. And more adjustability lets you tackle technical trails just the way you like.

The geometry of the Advanced composite frame and swingarm was developed specifically around 29-inch wheels. That means shorter chainstays, a longer toptube, and just the right angles with the headtube (64.56 degrees) and seattube (76.36 degrees). We gave it an updated Maestro rear suspension system with 146mm of travel. The trunnion mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm deliver an active, super plush feel on the trail.

Lowside is the bike that gets you across town for a quick rip on singletrack, then over to the bar for a night out. Your BMX Bike All Grown Up Lowside is like the grownup version of the bike you rode when you were a kid and still had hopes and dreams and some semblance of ambition. It's just as happy riding singletrack as it is parked outside your favorite drinking establishment. Lowside is a single speed mountain bike. Singlespeeding has been a part of Surly's DNA since day one when we launched the 1x1 Rat Ride. After a lot of Homie Fall Fests and more feats of strength than we can recall, we decided to discontinue it a couple years back. Lowside picks up right where the 1x1 left off. "Some have dubbed the Lowside the ultimate pub cruiser." - Modern trail standards: dropper post compatibility, 44mm headtube, Gnot-Boost rear spacing, thru-axles - Compatibility with most mountain bike standards makes it the perfect parts bin bike (no rim brakes allowed though) - Spec'd in alternating years with 26 x 3" or 27.5 x 2.8" tires, the Lowside remains capable of running either option

The Karate Monkey features updated, progressive trail geometry, our custom trumpet tubeset, and Surly's Gnot-Boost rear dropout system. Available in a variety of colors, with multiple drivetrain and wheel size configurations. - 100% Surly Chromoly steel frame and fork; double-butted main triangle and 44mm headtube - The tubeset uses the same trumpet tubes found on Instigator 2.0 frame - Adjustable rear dropouts with 145mm Gnot-Boost spacing. Works with 142, 148 12mm thru, as well as 135mm w/ 10/12 washer - Internal dropper seatpost routing with 30.9mm seat tube ID - Clearance for 29 x 2.55" or 27.5 x 3" tires

The Karate Monkey Front Suspension bike features a Rock Shox 35 Gold RL A2 suspension fork with 140mm travel, and it's paired with a dropper post out of the box. Progressive trail geometry and Surly's Gnot-Boost rear dropout system deliver a versatile bike with the ability to swap hubs and wheel sizes. If you want to round-house kick some trail right in the face, the Karate Monkey is your sled. - 100% Surly Chromoly steel frame, double-butted main triangle and 44mm headtube - The tubeset uses Surly custom trumpet tubes for greater stiffness and durability - Adjustable rear dropouts with 145mm Gnot-Boost spacing.

Fully dialed at every size: Proportional Geometry and frame stiffness tune. Chainstay length and seat angle are matched to the frame size (STA steepens and rear center grows as frame size increases) so that every rider, no matter what height, gets the same balance of geometry and handling characteristics. We tailor stiffness for every size to ensure everyone gets the same ride quality. Bigger riders mean greater stresses on larger frames, but that's remedied with our size-specific frame stiffness tunes. - VPP™ VPP™ stands for virtual pivot point - an engineering principal synonymous with high performance that spans from short travel platforms like the Tallboy right up to our DH World Cup-winning V10. - 120mm VPP™ Travel Some call 120mm "short travel", others call it all the travel you'll need. The Tallboy is an efficient XC pedaler with a geo and shock tune that makes it way more capable than the millimeters suggest. - Snappy Suspension The Tallboy has a lower starting ratio and an increased ending ratio of the leverage curve. This makes it really sensitive further into the travel and helps the bike ride higher in its stroke, producing a more responsive, snappy feel. - Bump Buster Significantly reducing peak anti-squat (over previous generations of the Tallboy), has improved both small bump sensitivity and square-edge compliance. And, because anti-squat values trend with ant-rise, we were also able to reduce the anti-rise to improve the braking sensitivity. - Glovebox: Always Within Reach Place your ride essentials securely in the Tallboy's downtube. The Glovebox comes with a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, tailored for the frame to keep your tools close to hand.

Ignite your lifelong love of cycling. With a lightweight aluminum frame, sporty riding position and wide-range gearing, the Foray is ready for street or singletrack.

Go Wilder. Saving weight means little without retaining an appropriate level of stiffness and responsiveness too. So we’ve taken all the acceleration and out-of-the-saddle sprint qualities of a carbon XC race rocket and fused them with a rear-end that still rails corners like a hardcore trail bike. This unique XC-trail attitude is also reflected in the geometry. The head tube angle (67.1 degrees) and reach (425mm) are a little steeper and shorter than a Joplin to meet the demands of aggressive climbing, yet the Wilder’s seat tube angle is a touch slacker and the chainstays a little longer than a Joplin too in order to retain that familiar Juliana confidence on descents. And talking of chainstays, each chainstay length is specific to the individual frame size; meaning riders of every height enjoy the same handling and performance no matter what. Beyond the details, there are some bigger features that amplify this XC wild child’s abilities. Rapid rolling 29-inch wheels are paired with a 120mm fork to tame the feral lines and smooth the sketchiest of passing maneuvers. There’s even room for two water bottles within the front triangle for bigger training and racing days. Design Details: XC focused, downhill ready 115mm of Superlight suspension, and 120mm of front travel. Light Carbon Frame At 1857g (w/o shock) size medium the Wilder is the lightest bike we've ever made. Two Water Bottles Two water bottle mounts inside the front triangle to support those all-day pedal fests. Built for climbing The head tube angle (67.1 degrees) and reach (425mm) is a little steeper and shorter than a Joplin to meet the demands of aggressive climbing. Geometry to match Each chainstay length is specific to the individual frame size; meaning riders of every height enjoy the same handling and performance no matter what. Reserve 28|XC wheels Replaces the Reserve 25 model, better bead retention, Reserve’s lightest wheelset: Lighter, wider, shallower. Meant for newer Maxxis Widetrail 2.4" XC tires which are popular for elite racers.

Forget the numbers. Mute the speculation. Let the other guys invent cute alternatives for "cross country". Steer clear of pigeon holes and limiting beliefs. Strap on your blinders and go get lost. Then decide what the SB120 means to you. And you alone. Definition ready. TRAIL. CHECK MATE. Crushing souls on the descent is more than half the fun. And a hell of a lot more than half the point. The SB120 is wicked quick in your direction of choice. FEATURES: SWITCH INFINITY. RECALCULATED. Discover the new Switch Infinity: the next-gen of translating pivot suspension design. Setting new expectations for longevity, sensitivity and strength. LOOKS THE PART. BECAUSE IT IS. With a new-gen approach to our shortest travel bike, the SB120 now has a frame silhouette that's inspired by its longer-legged siblings. Torsional precision and impact clearance has increased, without transferring unwanted feedback to the rider. And the refined Switch Infinity makes this bike punch well above its weight. UNPARALLELED FEEL. FOR ALL RIDERS. Every rider deserves a frame feel that's tuned for them, regardless of frame size. Over the course of hundreds of virtual simulation comparisons and back-to-back carbon prototype testing, we've refined our carbon layups to deliver consistent torsional stiffness and flex profiles across all frame sizes. The feel is precise yet compliant while structurally balancing light weight and durability. SPEED METAL. Our new pivot designs use 100% standard sized cartridge bearings secured with precision-machined floating collet axles. All bearings are pressed into the linkage assembly vs the swingarm or front triangle. LEVERAGE RATE. A relatively linear progression curve gives riders usable, active travel at 30% sag – a far greater margin than other 120mm travel bikes. The SB120's small bump compliance delivers incredible traction. Its supportive mid-stroke ensures riders don't blow through travel when pushing against the suspension in turns or when getting the wheels off the ground. Oh shit moments are handled with ease – the curve has been tuned with increased bottom-out control. CABLE MANAGEMENT. Internally routed cable tubes with secure closures at entry and exit points eliminate rattles and cable rub. Whether running a mechanical drivetrain and dropper or a wireless setup, cable management is intuitively easy and quiet. THREADED BB. Threaded aluminum bottom bracket shell with integrated ISCG-05 tabs. This critical drivetrain interface is now more durable, cleaner, and easier to service. UNIVERSALLY READY. If a hanger bending crash occurs, the new Yeti models use the Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) interface — the industry standard mount for a rear derailleur. The UDH is available in nearly any bike shop, Yeti dealer or not. FULL DROP. As the capability of our bikes continues to increase, so does their ability to run modern day, full-stroke dropper posts. Our seat tube is shorter to allow for a longer dropper posts. Most riders will be able to use a 150mm dropper posts on Small frames*, 175mm on Medium frames*, and 200mm+ dropper posts on L-XXL frames*, respectively. *Dependent on actual seat height on specific bike size. MICRO WISHBONE. MEET ULTRA COMPACT EXTENDER. An all-new ultra-compact, minimalist, 1-piece shock extender was designed specifically for the demands of the shorter travel SB120. It optimizes leverage rate while pushing the shock forward in the frame. This forward positioning allows for a large range of shock compatibility, decreases stand-over height, reduces shock tab sizes, increases water bottle compatibility, and increases downtube clearance. MORE BALANCED AT SPEED. Its nimble reach darts through singletrack. Its steep seat tube angle makes light work of climbs. Its head angle and balanced vertical suspension travel prioritize downhill fun, making it an incredible Trans-Cascadia style race whip. Point is, the SB120's geometry is so balanced and agile, forgetting how much travel it has on the way up and down is totally possible. 1. A REACH FOR AGILITY A more neutral position keeps riders weighting both wheels more evenly with a modern reach for agility, keeping things spritely. 2. BALANCED VERTICAL TRAVEL Modern head angles are slack, so we run more front travel than rear travel to balance the bike. This delivers a brilliantly balanced ride. 3. SIZE SPECIFIC CHAIN STAYS Chain stay length increases with frame size, ensuring the rear center of the bike is proportionately correct for riders of all sizes (XS-XXL). 4. SIZE SPECIFIC SEAT TUBE ANGLES Riders of all sizes stay in a powerful pedal position with seat tube angles that increase with frame size. This makes the transition from seated to standing easier, especially for taller riders.

Born from the trails of Colorado, Yeti’s SB5 is everything a trailbike should be — nimble on the climbs and dominant on descents. With a sleek frame design, internal cable routing, Boost spacing, lower stand-over height, and metric suspension all atop Yeti’s Switch Infinity translating pivot, it is the go-to choice for any trail adventure. The SB5 Carbon series frame is 6.27 lbs and preserves Yeti-performance at a more aggressive price point by using a slightly modified carbon material and different layup.
