Smooth, fast and capable - For this season, the @surlybikes Midnight Special truly embodies the “All-Road” spirit, running Shimano 105 2x11, hydraulic brakes and 700x38mm Teravail Rampart Tyres.

This modern classic from Surly is fast and nimble in its handling but not afraid to tackle what’s ahead when the road gets rough.

It also looks amazing in the “Fools Gold” finish too!✨

Introducing the brand new @reneherse Corkscrew Climb 700x44mm Semi-Slick!🩵

Available now in store and on the webshop in four casings:

Extralight - “Ultimate Performance”
Standard - “Supple Workhorse”
Endurance - “Strong and Supple”
Endurance Plus - “Ultra Tough”

As Rene Herse put it:
“No, we haven’t changed our opinion about conventional semi-slicks: They are neither particularly fast, nor do they grip particularly well. So we started from scratch. 3 years of R&D. 3 patent filings. 1000s of miles of testing, including by @iamtedking and others at the UCI Gravel World Championships. Now introducing the Rene Herse 700C x 44 mm Corkscrew Climb.

We don’t use the word ‘revolution’ lightly - head to the RH Journal for all the details and see what you think!”

Already owning a great super commuter, Anna was after a really nice and fun bike to ride unloaded✨

Once you’ve had a dynamo, sometimes you just can’t live without a dynamo, so hey presto! 💡 Anna decided to go with the DT Swiss dynamo wheel upgrade on this Wilde Rambler House Build and then wire it through to some nice Schmidt SON lights.
Well played, Anna 👏

Finished with some Stainless Steel King Cages and a perfectly matching “Denim Indigo” Spurcycle Bell, this is one neat ride!💙

Thanks, Anna!
Enjoy✌️

Tough enough for bikepacking, fast enough for the Sunday ride with friends.

WHAT A YEAR! In all our 16 years, we have not gone through as much change as we did in 2024.

Re-branding at a tough time for the bike industry was a big, challenging experience and we can’t thank our amazing staff, customers, suppliers and wider community enough for being there, and supporting us every step of the way.

After six months as Off Course Bike Shop, it just feels right. 

We can’t wait to see you in 2025, have a great new year!

Happy Trails,
Off Course Bike Shop x ...

New @surlybikes Krampus in the awesome “Chester Copperpot” finish is here and ready to get shreddy!

If you understand the reference, you’ll know that every Surly rider is already an enigmatic treasure hunter, just don’t go and get stuck under a booby-trapped Boulder! 🪨#gooniesneversaydie☠️
