I looked at the Portland when I bought my commuter, but the new models weren't available yet. In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't get one. The front fork and rear stays aren't wide enough to put Nokian snows on, at least that's what I got when I talked with Trek recently. I've been considering an upgrade to disk brakes so I don't have to worry about iced rims thi swinter, but I can't retrofit disks onto the Trek XO1.

Maybe someone else has fit the 34mm Nokian snows onto a Portland, but it didn't sound like they would fit when I was talking with Trek.
