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. Single sided hardware make maintaining your main pivots a snap by not having to remove the crank set from the frame. The Sortie 1 offers incredible value for the price. Complete with a Rock Shox Tora 289 Fork, it offers a 120mm travel coil spring with rebound damping adjustments to dial in your suspension for any trail. A full Shimano Alivio drivetrain provides swift and precise shifting on demand. Shimano’s M445 Hydraulic disc brakes give you butter smooth and extremely powerful stopping power in any situation. Diamondback SL super light double wall disc wheels and signature Lazer bars, stem and post add value bang without the buck. With the same frame as any of our high end Sorties, the Sortie 1 is the perfect starting point for any rider offering comparable performance and aesthetics at a fraction of the price.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Great bike/bad tires!
Overall I am very happy and satisfied with this bike and would highly recommend it. The suspension is tunable and smooth. It really soaks up the rough stuff. Hills and cross country are a breeze. Brakes, and derailers are nice and solid. The saddle is the most comfortable I've ridden. It is a very nice bike at a "medium" price point (although it is the most expensive I have owned) that has held up nicely on some pretty nasty trails.
And now, the bad. The reason this bike got 4 stars instead of 5 is the tires/tubes. First ride out of the gate I popped the front tube. Two rides later, I popped the rear tube. Four or five rides later, the front tire (not tube) ruptured. I always run the recommended air pressure, and just for reference, I've had a higher-end Walmart "Mongoose" dual suspension bike that I've ridden on these same trails for the last 6 years without one tire issue. My son is now riding that bike on these trails with the ORIGINAL tires and original...
