I believe the Sojourn is heavier than a LHT, at about 42 lbs including racks. That is a heck of weight for a touring bike, and I can't really see any justification for it weighing that much; there are seriously tough bikes that are a lot lighter. I believe the new Sutra now has chainstay-mounted brakes and has sorted out the previous issue with the rear rack mount.
