Surly Cross-Check Review

The Surly Cross-Check is an excellent bike for city riding, but it also performs well should you decide to hit the bike trails on the weekends.

• The Surly Cross-Check is perfect if you’re looking for a smooth-riding commuter bike. The bike’s steel frame absorbs shock well and dampens vibration creating a very comfortable riding experience. The fact that the bike also rides well on other different terrains also makes it a good bike if you want a multi-purpose bicycle.
• This bike is also ideal if you’re a rider who loves customizing their bike to fit their needs. You can easily try out various bike components on the Cross-Check. One Surly Cross-Check owner said, “This bike has to be the most versatile bike you can own. I have had at least 5 different style handlebars, various shifters, and brakes. I have been able to change the characteristics whenever my mood changes.”

If you often drop your bike, you’ll love the Surly Cross-Check stainless steel frame that doesn’t easily dent. Despite numerous falls, the frame can remain as good as new. The steel frame also makes riding the Cross-Check comfortable because it absorbs a lot of the shock.

The WTB Volt Sport saddle also makes riding comfortable for you. With this seat, you can expect not to get saddle sore after a long ride.

The Tektro M730 brakes offer flawless stopping, so you can be assured that if you need to come to a halt immediately, these brakes will get this done. 

The 700 x 41 mm Knard tires offer better traction, mainly off-road, but on the pavement, you can feel like together with the bike’s weight, they are slowing you down.

The Surly Cross-Check ticks all the right boxes you should consider when buying a bicycle. It is durable, comes with fantastic features, can be customized, used on multiple-terrain, and built by a known bicycle brand.

We have no doubt it will serve you well whether you use it for your daily commute to work or weekend off-road adventures.
