The gravel bike gets a massive Boost
Stable and smooth on difficult terrain
Well-appointed frameset
Braking lacks finesse
Drivetrain arguably not to Shimano or SRAM standards

The geometry is certainly interesting, as are the looks, but Surly’s Grappler is one very capable machine with huge tyre clearance and sweet handling whether you are blasting down your local singletrack or heading into the wilderness fully loaded up for an adventure. While it doesn't conform to the traditional traits of the best gravel bikes, it certainly has the attributes to hold its own not to mention surpass many other drop-bar bikes when the trail gets gnarly.

The Surly Ghost Grappler is a dedicated drop-bar trail bike built for bikepacking, singletrack and all-day dirt rides. Here's our in-depth review...
Unique mix of stability, maneuverability, and comfortable long-ride geometry
LOOONNNGG front end provides options for flat bars or a better fit if you’re between sizes
Large frame bag space and plenty of mounts and provisions
Unique implementation of rear bottle mounts, handy for desert routes
Good value, considering today’s market
It’s not light, although it’s not too heavy
I found that the high BB makes it feel a little timid on steep, gnarly terrain
I wish they offered it with flat bars and stock 29er wheels and tires
