Strengths: Very smooth ride and great shifting and stopping power. Lightweight, handles very well, great climbing ability as well as amazing descending ability.Weaknesses: The front Tora 289 forks don't have a lot of adjust-ability, but can be upgraded. Other than that None!Bottom Line: This is a Great bike!!! I got it on sale at Performance Bicycle in Cary, NC. The Knuckle Box Technology is great, it's like you don't ever bottom the shock out. The shifter were a little different than what I'm use to but with a little getting use to they are great. Overall if you looking for a great heavy duty XC bike or All-Mountain with 5" of travel this is the bike for you.

Strengths: Upgradeable, Strong, Light/Responsive, Great Deal!Weaknesses: It was fine when stock but improved tremendously when I upgraded just about everything. Dont know if thats a weakness.Bottom Line: Excellent bike for whatever you ride with exception of downhill. I commute ten miles to work daily on pavement and hit up my local rocky trails at least 3 times a week. Its fast and rides as smooth as my Caddy. My Sortie has got me through jumps, drops, and plenty of tumbles. I purchased it because i got a great deal and because its got the same frame as the Sortie Black, which costs over $5000!! Meaning I can upgrade allday and not be asking myself if its worth it or not. If you can get a previous year model discounted like I did, you'll have a permanent grin like i do.

Strengths: Light but sturdy.Bottom Line: I rented this bike while my Ironhorse was in for repairs again. Almost immediately, I noticed a huge difference. It's light and well balanced. I found myself taking on roots and rocks, uphill and down, that I would not even try on my other bike. I bought the bike.
Even though GI-Joes had Mission-1 on sale for $1000 this week, I got the Sortie at my local shop since they also bought my old bike.
