La 26+ di Surly
The O stands for oh dayam! Some may remember a Surly model we discontinued called the Instigator.
The Instigator was a burly hardtail made for going fast and going big. Our new Instigator picks up where
that one left off. This thing is beefy and tough, yet quick-handling and well balanced.
This new Instigator differs from the old one of course. Most notably, Instigator 2.0 is what we call 26+, designed
to run 26˝ (559mm ETRTO) Rabbit Hole rims. At 50mm theyre quite a bit wider than standard MTB rims, and
coupled with our 2.75˝ Dirt Wizard tires the overall diameter is about 27.5˝ (roughly 650b, maybe even a bit
bigger). All this means you get loads of traction and cushion yet you can still accelerate like mad. The toptube
is long and the wheelbase relatively short, with a nice front/rear balance. This thing is made from the ground
up to swoop, rail, hammer, drift, carve and fly. It goes downhill like nobodys business and climbs well too.
Instigator 2.0 employs a 44mm headtube, which paired with a tapered steerertube will provide a stiff front end
and compatibility with lots of suspension forks. The rear end uses our new Modular Dropout System, allowing
you to change up your drivetrain according to needs. Frames ship with MDS dropouts in rear-loading horizontal
singlespeed, standard vertical with derailleur hanger and a 142 x 12mm thru-axle versions. Pick your poison.
Stock build comes with our new Dirt Wizard tires on Rabbit Hole rims, a Fox32 fork with 140mm of travel and
Shimano SLX drivetrain and brakes (180f/160r), all on a SolidGold Gold frame. Bad ass.
magari con un pennellino puoi ripassarlo con un pò di vernice, niente di tragico!
