The Sunliner is Tumbleweeds newest model, it’s a fully rigid mountain touring bike built with the same ultra high end steel tubeset and construction as our award winning Stargazer, but with the geometry from the Prospector that has been optimized for flat/swept back bars like our Persuader. The Sunliner has the same non-suspension corrected fork design as the Stargazer, which creates a huge front triangle and allows for maximum framebag space as well as easy fender mounting. The Sunliner can fit up to a 29×3.0″ tire and has all of the mounting points for racks, fenders and gear that you would expect for a bike designed from the ground up for off road touring.

This bike came about due to requests from two different groups of customers, those who wanted a flat bar expedition bike like the Prospector but built around thru axles and derailleurs instead of the 14 speed Rohloff internally geared hub, and customers who love the Stargazer but prefer riding with flat bars over drop bars. We’ve been riding prototypes of the Sunliner for about a year now in all sorts of configurations, drivetrains, bag/rack setups, loaded and unloaded and it’s a very easy bike to recommend to anyone interested in a versatile and capable all around bikepacking rig.
