Surly Lowside – New Pig Smell
Your BMX Bike, All Grown Up
The Surly Lowside is a single-speed trail slayer built for riders who never forgot the joy of ripping around on a BMX bike. It’s the grown-up version of the bike you loved as a kid—with all the attitude, plus modern trail geometry and standards.
It’s just as happy ripping singletrack as it is parked outside your favorite bar. With clearance for 26 x 3.0” or 27.5 x 2.8” tires, Gnot-Boost rear spacing, and dropper post compatibility, the Lowside is as capable as it is fun. Whether you're building from your parts bin or keeping it clean and simple, this bike is all about keeping it real—and rowdy.
