The Disc Trucker is a top - notch drop bar touring bike, sharing the excellent reputation of the Long Haul Trucker. In certain situations where load, climate, and terrain require better braking, the redesigned Disc Trucker steps in. It offers reliable stopping power and numerous useful mounting points. The shortened chainstays enhance its stiffness and cornering maneuverability. With improved fit and handling under load, and captured thru - axles for easy removal and installation, it's a great companion for your daily rides.
Features include dynamo routing on the fork, three - pack mounts on the blade, and all necessary braze - ons for racks, fenders, and water bottle cages. The 12mm thru - axles provide a stiffer feel and more stability when fully loaded. The shortened seat tube and slightly sloped top tube offer better stand - over clearance, and the increased stack height ensures a more upright and comfortable long - haul riding position. It comes with the Truck Stop Bar and tubeless ExtraTerrestrial tires for reliable handling and traction. Flat - mount disc brakes are equipped. Frame sizes 42–56cm come with 26” diameter wheels, while 56–64cm frames have 700c diameter wheels. It can fit 26” x 2.1” tires or 700c x 47mm tires, with or without fenders.
Using your Disc Trucker bike is easy. First, adjust the seat and handlebars to a comfortable position for you. When you're ready to ride, just hop on and start pedaling. The flat - mount disc brakes give you great stopping power, so use them to slow down or stop safely.
Here are some important things to note. When loading your bike with gear, make sure to distribute the weight evenly on the mounting points to keep the bike stable. Avoid overloading it too much as it may affect the handling.
For maintenance, regularly check the tires for proper inflation. You can use a regular bike pump to keep them at the right pressure. Also, clean the disc brakes and the chain periodically. You can use a mild bike cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the bike after a long ride. This will help keep your Disc Trucker in good condition for many adventures to come.
