Surly just announced two fresh paint colors for its core rigid dirt-touring bikes. Check out the new Salmon Skin Silver Krampus and Lingering Cranberry Bridge Club here…
The O.G. 29+ bike just got a fresh coat of paint called Salmon Skin Silver. The 2026 Surly Krampus is now available as a frameset with a matching fork for $1,099, or as a full build for $2,199. The rigid complete stays true to its roots as a no-nonsense, trail-ready 29+ rig, built around a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain (10–51T cassette and a 30T crank), offering a wide range for loaded riding or just steep unloaded grinds. It also leans practical with Tektro hydraulic brakes, a TranzX 120mm dropper post, and a cockpit with a utilitarian Salsa Rustler bar and WTB Volt saddle. It also has singletrack-worthy 29 x 3.0” Surly Dirt Wizard tires mounted to wide WTB i40 rims for plenty of traction. Surly states that a medium weighs 31 pounds, so it’s clearly a solid build centered on durability and simplicity.
The 2026 Surly Bridge Club also got a new paint job called Lingering Cranberry. The frameset costs $899, and you can get a full build for $1,599. It looks like the complete still aims to be a versatile, all-terrain workhorse with a Shimano CUES U6000 11-speed drivetrain, pairing a 32T chainring with a wide 11–50T cassette. Similar to the Krampus, the build keeps things practical with Tektro hydraulic brakes, a Salsa Bend handlebar, and a WTB Volt saddle. Rolling on 27.5 x 2.5” Teravail Ehline tires mounted to WTB i30 rims, it keeps in its mixed-terrain ATB lane. Surly claims the medium weighs just over 29 pounds. In case you missed Neil’s review last year, be sure to give it a look here.
