Long Haul Trucker Complete

If you want to carry a lot of stuff while riding your bike long distances, you’d be hard pressed to find a better bike than the Long Haul Trucker. It starts with the frame, whose custom drawn 4130 tubing and geometry were specifically designed for loaded travel, low bottom bracket for stability, long head tube, long stays, the whole thing. We added braze-ons for everything you’re likely to need. We gave it parts that are durable and long lasting, and ready to travel.  Add racks, bags, fenders, whathaveyou, and go somewhere. This bike has been among our most popular models because it’s a good value and a great riding bike. Oh, and it handles short distances too.

We’re continuing to offer the LHT as we always have, with 26" wheels on the smaller sizes and 700c wheels on the larger frames.  New this year, we’re also offering 26" wheels for the larger frame sizes too. Although many people (some of us included) like the ride of 700c wheels, in many parts of the world 26" is a more popular size, so you’ll be able to find replacement tubes, tires, and rims more easily should the need arise. Smaller wheels are also stronger than their 700c counterparts, so they’ll stand up better to rough roads and heavy loads.  Frames in both wheel sizes accomodate pretty big tires with mud and fender clearance for a smooth ride.
