Surly Bike Size Chart

Surly is a steel-bike brand started in 1998 under Quality Bicycle Products in Minnesota. It is known for touring, fat, and gravel frames with long-term parts support rather than annual carbon refreshes. This page has Surly’s gravel, hybrid, and mountain charts. Disc Trucker and Karate Monkey use different size runs. Steel touring geometry is its own fit — read stack and reach, not just the number.

How to measure

Height filters the chart. Cycling inseam decides which overlapping size to keep. The method is the same for every brand.

Height and inseam

Height

Take shoes off and stand tall, looking straight ahead. A helper should rest a flat object on the crown of your head, then run a tape from the floor to the underside of that object. Save the number in inches and centimeters — charts use both.

Inseam

Stand tall and barefoot with feet slightly apart. Ask a helper to measure vertically from your crotch to the floor. Keep your legs straight and feet flat.

FAQ

  • What Surly bike size do I need?

    Use your height on the Gravel, Hybrid and Mountain charts on this page. On the gravel table, 161-163 cm sits in both 46 and 50. Cycling inseam and standover pick the side. Then check stack and reach for the exact Surly model.

  • Can I copy a Surly size from one bike type to another?

    Not safely. Surly Gravel, Hybrid and Mountain charts on this page are separate. A Surly 46 on the gravel table and a Surly XS on the hybrid table are not interchangeable.

  • Which Surly sizes are listed on this page?

    The Gravel, Hybrid and Mountain charts on this page include 46, 50, 54 (152-200 cm on the gravel table). Verify the current Surly model chart on the official site before purchase.
