A Trail-born Steel Shapeshifter
Our modern trail hardtail with geared and single-speed abilities, Sorceress conjures a spellbinding singletrack experience wherever and whenever you summon it.
Let Sorceress be your guide through steep and gnarly dirt realms; it thrives on flowy, feature-rich singletrack and technical descents where things get loose and fast.
Sorceress channels modern trail geometry with intent. A long front centre, steep seat tube angle, and slack head angle deliver a ride that feels planted when it needs to be, efficient on the climbs, and playful when the trail opens up. With generous standover and space for longer dropper posts, there’s less saddle in the way and more room to move when it counts.
The alchemy of Surly Natch chromoly steel tubing, tuned specifically for Sorceress, gives it a ride quality that’s lively without being harsh. It smooths out the chatter while still feeling responsive under power - exactly what you want from a hardtail that’s meant to be pushed.
True to form, Sorceress is a bit of a shapeshifter. Developed alongside SRAM, the DUH dropout system (patent pending) lets you run a traditional UDH hanger, a Full-Mount drivetrain, or convert to single-speed with the right hardware. It’s a frame that doesn’t lock you into one way of doing things.
Whatever trail magic you’re chasing, Sorceress is built to meet you there.
