New bikes for 2013...

Last week I headed to Melbourne for the official new season release of both Giant and Focus’s 2013 bikes. Giant’s release was for their Performance range, bikes upwards of $1500. Heading into the shows, I knew of the majority of the new models and tech updates, through various media reports over the past 3 months. What I wasn’t expecting was the complete dominance or takeover of the 29er wheel. The only 26” wheeled bikes now offered by Giant are the Reign and Glory models. That means 77% of Giant MTB’s are now 29er, of the remaining 23% over half of these are DH rigs. There are groups of people opposed to the 29er revolution, but it seems for every 1 of them there are 20+ people looking for the bigger wheel. Adding more fuel to fire is the 650B wheel (27.5”) which makes claim to being the perfect wheel size, offering the speed of a bigger wheel and the manoeuvrability similar to the 26” wheel.
What stood out most was graphics - it seems both Giant and Focus have really stepped up their games.
The highlights were the new Giant Trance X 29er, XTC Advanced SL 29er, TCX Advanced SL, and a new entry level time trial bike - the Trinity Composite. Meanwhile Focus has added a Raven 650B to their line up, their new Izalco Team SL range, and the Super Bud 29er trail bike.
I haven’t seen any delivery schedules yet, but understand Giant has already landed some models from their line up - meaning most should be due in the next few weeks. Focus is expected from September onwards.
