Review & Description
The Diamondback Sortie series is the quintessential trail bike. Responsive enough for top level racing or those all day XC grinders, the Sortie craves and owns the singletrack domain. The Sortie Trail 5" frame is made of 6061-T6 Weapons Grade Aluminum with a hydroformed top tube and butted down tube and seat stays. Diamondbacks proprietary Knuckle Box suspension platform is at the core of this system. The Rock Shox ARIO 2. rear air shock offers a low center of gravity and a low leverage ratio.

Diamondback SL super light double wall disc wheels and signature Lazer bars, stem and post add value bang without the buck.
