Experience the joy and convenience of efficient front load carrying capability with the Surly Pack Rat. An evolution of years of biking innovation, this versatile transporting machine is designed to maximise the utility of porteur-style racks for superior load management.

Why would you want your load in front of you? Simply put, it gives you immediate access to your essential items, and promotes excellent weight distribution for a balanced ride. If you've ever had a grocery-laden pannier mishap at an unexpected corner, you know the value of having your load optimally secured. The front load of the Pack Rat keeps your bike nimble, letting you steer from the rear with confidence and agility.

Featuring cargo-specialist design principles, the Pack Rat rides smoothly with or without a load. So, whether you're setting off with a full front rack of essentials for a long-distance tour, or just heading out for an unencumbered ride, the Pack Rat has you covered. To realise your front cargo carrying aspirations, we've thoughtfully included a 24-pack rack on the complete bike model.

The Pack Rat rolls proudly on 26"" wheels for smaller sizes and 650b wheels for the larger sizes. The smaller diameter wheels keep your load's weight lower than would a 700c wheel, thereby enhancing the handling and the overall feel of the ride. The Pack Rat's fork also conveniently offers some internal routing for generator hubs, letting you safely venture into the twilight hours.

If you're a dedicated commuter, an adventurous credit card tourer, a fan of sub-24 campouts or simply someone tired of a sweaty backpack-stressed back, the Pack Rat offers the perfect biking solution.
