Surly Sorceress Spec 1 - Elderberry Tonic

The Sorceress is a proper trail hardtail: long, confident and built to be ridden hard. Its steel frame uses modern geometry to stay composed on steep Nelson trails while still feeling lively through tighter singletrack and efficient on the climbs. This Eagle 90 build gets the stronger RockShox fork, full-mount SRAM Transmission drivetrain, four-piston brakes and a long-travel dropper, making it the more serious option for riders who expect their hardtail to handle proper technical terrain.
