yes, im not saying its not a quality buy, but its not what most people want . its good to have bikes like that, but that cant be your whole line . i do like trek , i even own one and its lasted me for well for a few years now . but its a cheap one . my point is, most jumping type bikes are sold to people 18 and under im gona say, about half at least . how many people in that age group are ( i shouldnt saying willing to spend) but HAVE like $3000 to spend on their bike . not a lot of them, most will spend less then probably $1500, to start with . so i think they should have a line, with like 3 models of the ticket for example , starting around $1000 point and getting more . Trek probably is working on making some killer bikes (when they get around to producing them, but they are only targeting a small precentage of riders . They thing they are doing them selves good by keeping people in suspense you say, but when the bike fianlly drops , im gona say alot of the people that need/ want a new bike at the start of the season, arnt going to be waiting around for something that they have no clue if or when its coming out, so they will buy something else . and when it these bikes finally come out, i think alot of people wont be able to afford them
