The Disc Trucker is an outstanding drop bar touring bike built for global adventures on paved roads. Like the Long Haul Trucker, it's a top - choice for smooth rides and great value. But sometimes, due to load, climate, and terrain, you need more braking power than a standard rim - brake bike can offer. That's where the redesigned Disc Trucker shines. It has reliable stopping power and numerous useful mounting points. The shortened chainstays enhance its stiffness and cornering maneuverability. With better fit and handling under load, and captured thru - axles for easy removal and installation, it's ready for your daily trips or escapes. The fork has dynamo routing, and there are three - pack mounts on the blade, along with all the braze - ons you need for racks, fenders, water bottle cages, etc. It features 12mm thru - axles for a stiffer and more stable ride when fully loaded. The shortened seat tube and slightly sloped top tube improve stand - over clearance and offer a more upright and comfortable riding position on long hauls. It comes with the Truck Stop Bar and tubeless ExtraTerrestrial tires for reliable handling and traction. Flat - mount disc brakes provide great braking. 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 is a breeze. Just hop on and start your journey! When loading up your bike, use the many mounting points for racks, fenders, and water bottle cages to keep your essentials secure. Make sure to check the tire pressure regularly, especially before long trips. For the 26 - inch wheels on frame sizes 42 - 56cm and 700c wheels on 56 - 64cm frames, the recommended pressure can be found on the tire sidewall. When it comes to braking, the flat - mount disc brakes work well, but remember to give them a little extra space in wet or slippery conditions. After each ride, wipe down your bike to remove dirt and debris. Every few months, take it to a professional bike shop for a more thorough check - up and maintenance, including chain lubrication and brake adjustment. Enjoy your rides on the Disc Trucker!
