{"product_id":"surly-moonlander-champagne-gold","title":"Moonlander","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Surly Moonlander in Champagne Gold is not a bike for roads — it is a bike for everything roads refuse to go. Built around enormous 4.8-inch tyres on 100mm rims, this fat bike runs at very low tyre pressures to float over sand, mud, rocks, roots, and terrain that would stop almost any other bicycle cold. At Rs. 2,00,000, it is a serious machine for serious adventurers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia has terrain that most cyclists never see — the volcanic rock beds of the Deccan Plateau, the soft sands of Rajasthan, the waterlogged trails of Coorg and the Northeast during monsoon, the loose shale of Ladakh's high-altitude passes near Leh. The Moonlander is selected for Indian conditions precisely because it handles all of these without compromise. The 4130 CroMoly steel frame absorbs trail chatter over rough surfaces, and the massive tyre footprint means you keep moving where narrower bikes sink and stall. This is an expedition tool, not a weekend toy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurly sizing follows a relaxed, trail-oriented geometry. The Moonlander's toptube is designed to maximise standover clearance, which works well for Indian riders who prefer more foot-down confidence on unpredictable terrain. If you are between sizes, consider your inseam length carefully and go smaller — the upright position suits all-day riding in heat above 35°C. Contact our team for a fit consultation before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame ships with 135mm horizontal dropouts and a derailleur hanger, making it compatible with singlespeed setups, standard derailleur drivetrains, and internal gear hubs. The bottom bracket is 100mm wide with standard English threading. Mechanical disc brakes are fitted. The fork uses a 51mm IS front disc mount. Verify component compatibility with the 100mm rim and 4.8-inch tyre standard before purchasing accessories locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete this build with a wide-range mountain drivetrain for climb-heavy terrain, ergonomic lock-on grips for long days off-road, a dropper seatpost for technical descents, and wide flat pedals for confident foot placement on loose surfaces. A frame bag or bikepacking setup also suits the Moonlander's expedition character perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/surly-bikes\"\u003eExplore the full Surly Bikes collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised Surly Bikes retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat is the Surly Moonlander best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Moonlander is built for off-road expedition riding on terrain where no trail exists — sand, mud, loose rock, roots, and waterlogged ground. In India, it is ideal for Ladakh's high-altitude gravel, Rajasthan's desert tracks, Northeast India's monsoon trails, and the boulder-strewn paths of the Western Ghats.

The 4130 CroMoly steel frame is durable and handles wet, muddy conditions well. The ED coating provides corrosion resistance during monsoon use in regions like Coorg or Kerala. In heat above 35°C in cities like Hyderabad or Ahmedabad, the upright geometry keeps airflow reasonable. Regular cleaning and drivetrain maintenance after muddy or wet rides is strongly advised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Surly Moonlander compare to a standard mountain bike or regular fat bike?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eA standard mountain bike uses narrower tyres and is designed for trails with defined surfaces. A regular fat bike typically runs 3.8 to 4.0-inch tyres. The Moonlander goes further — 4.8-inch tyres on 100mm rims give it significantly more float and traction on soft or unstable ground. It is heavier and slower on hardpack, but unmatched when conditions become truly demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eIs the Surly Moonlander worth Rs. 2,00,000 in India, and what warranty does it include?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eFor adventure cyclists targeting genuinely challenging terrain — Leh, Spiti, the Rann of Kutch, or deep forest trails — the Moonlander's 4130 CroMoly steel construction and expedition-grade design justify the price.
