Surly Karate Monkey

Surly Karate Monkey 2019

The Karate Monkey frame has recently gotten a make over that includes the addition of features like internal dropper post routing, a new tubeset that uses the same trumpet tubes found on our Instigator 2.0, and a slight tweak in geometry that is more progressive and trail-oriented.

The Karate Monkey uses a horizontal dropout with a derailleur hanger that features Gnot-Boost spacing, which gives the rider the ability to run any kind of mountain bike hub they choose. 10 x 135mm QR, 12 x 142, or 12 x 148 Boost™ will all work in the Karate Monkey frame.

The frame uses a 44mm headtube for broad fork compatibility and is ED coated for an added layer of internal protection.

PLEASE NOTE: Bike is UK specc'd by Ison and will differ from the complete bike as shown on the US Surly site
