Surly Straggler 1x11
Utilitarian with off-road tendencies, the Straggler is Surly’s modern-day gravel machine built to span busted pavement and beyond.
This CUES 1×11 build is the tough, no-fuss version of the Straggler — durable enough for daily commutes, spirited enough for gravel adventures, and simple enough to keep rolling without drama. It pairs an 11–50 cassette with a 40T ring for wide-range gearing, hydraulic brakes for confident stopping, and all the steel comfort Surly is famous for.
The updated Straggler delivers a decade’s worth of thoughtful upgrades: geometry and tubing tuned for that unmistakable Surly steel ride, thru-axles front and rear for precision handling, internal dropper routing and a sloping top tube for improved standover, 50 mm tyre clearance, and a 44 mm head tube with flat-mount brakes for easy customization.
