Lowside
by Surly
Surly Lowside – Blue Monday
Your BMX, all grown up.
The Lowside taps straight into that carefree, ride-anywhere energy. It’s just as happy ripping singletrack and pumptracks as it is leaning outside your go-to spot. Simple, tough, and ridiculously fun.
At its core, this is a proper singlespeed mountain bike. No fuss, no distractions, just you, the trail, and a bike that begs to be pushed. It carries on the legacy of Surly’s original 1x1 Rat Ride, built for riders who like things raw, direct, and a little rowdy.
Modern touches like dropper post compatibility, thru-axles, and Gnot-Boost spacing keep it current, while the steel frame keeps that classic Surly feel.
Some call it a trail bike. Some call it a pub cruiser. Either way, it’s a good time.
