Introducing the 5″ travel, sub 26.5 lb. Sortie Black. We were having so much fun redesigning the Sortie platform to bump up the travel to 5″ for all of the Sortie bikes, and making all of them lighter, that we decided to take things a step further. The result is an extremely lightweight limited edition trail terror we call the Sortie Black. More travel than before and less weight than any other Sortie in the line.Upgrades from the Sortie 3 include a Fox 32 Float RLC Air fork, 15mm thru axle, Truvativ NOIR Giga X Pipe crank set, SRAM XO shifters and rear derailleur, Mavic Crossmax SLR wheel set, and a set of Hayes Stroker Gram hydraulic disc brakes.
