Long chain stays increase stability and give you more heal clearance if you are running extra large panniers. Laid back geometry and a long headtube create a fit that is comfortable for all day riding, day after day. There is a lot of tire clearance so you can bigger tires for more grip and comfort if you are on rough dirt roads and trails.

Built from tough cromoly steel, the frame and fork are designed to take a beating. This is the kind of toughness you need if you get many miles from civilization. Quality steel is the best option for a touring bike as it has the properties of high fatigue resistance, impact resistance and great ride quality. As is the case with all Surly frames the welds are very clean and the finish is very durable. The color options aren’t fancy but that’s not what they are going for. Surly is all about function over fashion. Depending on your taste, the clean, utilitarian look is very attractive in it’s own right. The LHT is at home crossing Canada or getting lost on the back roads of a third world country.
