Product Description
2012 seems to be the year of the 29er. What started as a revolution has evolved into the norm. The 29er craze has spread east to west, north to south and everywhere in between. Why you might ask? Well, there are some real tangible benefits from the larger diameter wheel: ■Angle of Attack – Larger wheels decrease your angle of attack by allowing you to roll over obstacles easier and faster. Bigger wheel = smaller obstacle. ■Momentum – A larger wheel enables one to carry momentum easier though obstacles. ■Surface Contact – 29''wheels are less prone to sinking in soft material such as sand and mud due to the larger contact patch causing lower ground pressure. The longer contact patch increases cornering and straight line traction ■Stability – The relative position of the bottom bracket/cranks to the axles in the wheels also means that your relative center of gravity is lower. This results in a feeling of riding ''in'' the bike rather than on top of it. ■Tire Clearance – with more tire choices than any platform, the 29''wheel easily accommodates off road as well as commuting tires. ■Taller Riders – 29" bikes tend to offer taller riders a more ''natural'' frame geometry. The Sortie 29er was inspired by our bellowed Sortie 26'' platform. Our goal simple: retain ride characteristics of the Sortie trail platform while adding the benefits of a larger diameter wheel. Not a simple task by any means but what we've come up with is a bike that's being hailed as one of the best 29inch bikes on the market.
