Sortie 2


Sortie 2 ‘09

No one likes to be stuck in the middle, but the Sortie 2 is completely alright being compared to the Sortie 3 and watching over the Sortie 1. The Sortie 2 is built up with the same top-notch trail frame featured on the rest of the series and is well-equipped with too much good stuff. Upgrades from the Sortie 1 include a Fox 32 Float R air fork and Float RP2 rear shock, Truvativ 5D 3.1 crank set, and Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes.
