NEW Surly Sorceress Deore 12 Hardtail Mountain Bike - Steel, Hot Honey Bling - 210000074760

Sorceress is Surly’s progressive trail hardtail, built for ever-evolving trails and the humanoids who can’t get enough of them. Following the legacy of their trail-ready mountain bikes, the Surly Sorceress is engineered to power through modern singletrack and gnarly black trails with low maintenance, extra stability, and a healthy dose of playfulness. Its inherent adaptability allows riders to full-send on the trails without worrying about adjustments. Plus, Surly’s proprietary DUH dropout system lets the rider configure the bike in a geared mode with a UDH hanger or Full-Mount drivetrain or swapped out for a slotted single-speed chip.

Maintenance Tips    

• Clean the frame after wet, muddy, or salty rides to prevent corrosion and preserve the finish.
• Inspect the frame, fork, rack mounts, and disc brake mounts regularly for cracks, dents, or loose hardware.
• Touch up paint chips promptly to protect exposed steel from rust.
• Apply a rust inhibitor inside the frame tubes annually, especially if riding in wet climates. Steel frames last decades with proper rust prevention.
• Keep headset, bottom bracket, and thru-axle threads greased to prevent seizing and ease future maintenance.
• Check disc brake mounting bolts and rack/fender hardware before long tours.
• Ensure frame drain holes remain clear so trapped moisture can escape.
• Inspect wheel and tire clearance regularly when running loaded touring setups or larger tires.
• Store indoors in a dry environment to maximize frame life and maintain the durable chromoly steel construction.
