Bath Outdoors Surly Krampus - What we have to say:
Adventure, trail, bikepacking, touring, commuting, drop bar monster gravel... it is one of the frames that does it all. This custom build was inspired by the Look Transfusion Flat Pedals which were a near perfect colour match for the frame. It now absolutely pops when you see the bike...
We have used Surly, Ritchey, Shimano, Teravail and Gusset components in the build. The The Ritchey Trails bars set it up for offroad control, Shimano is built for UK riding at its worst, Halo Wheels roll like a dream but can take the hits with Gusset components adding UK style to the build. Halo and Gusset are also British brands which we're a fan of!
Any questions about this build? Feel free to email us or give us a call at the shop for more information or to chat through the build kit.
This is what Surly have to say about the Krampus:
As the first āplusā bike to hit the market, Krampus changed the way many people approach trail riding. Itās shown people the light of how high volume, large diameter tires can vastly improve the ride experience. Itās also done a bang-up job dispelling the myth that big tires make you slow.
Krampus is kind of like the opposite of a mullet: long in the front and short in the rear. With a long toptube and compact chainstays, it takes trail-shredding abilities to the next level. A mullet may be business in the front, party in the back but Krampus makes partying its business.
"Lean back, hang on, and ride that wild horse." -Thor
Modern trail standards: dropper post compatibility, 44mm headtube, Gnot-Boost rear spacing, thru-axles, suspension corrected fork
Compatibility with most mountain bike standards makes it the perfect parts bin bike (no rim brakes allowed though)
