And they're adding SX models

And on that article I posted. Plans to phase out 29ers. Very bold.

Aaaahhhh, no. They're they'll have no 26ers. 29ers will still be there but minimized

Very very interesting.

I really like the way Giant goes about doing things. One would think that since they are so big and mainstream that they would have a conservative approach, but they have a very progressive approach which I really like. Every odd year they come out with bikes that I just want. Other companies already have 27.5 bikes but Giant takes the new concept and make it mainstream. They are not seen as a premium brand and their prices are good. There is no status thing attached to their name, but yet I think their bikes are great. Giant I like you a lot. (just need to put better wheels on your bikes)

Yeah, just in xc. But in the last para they say that they have plans to phase them out over time.
