No I don't know if Giant will be bringing the SLR 0 to the US.

The thing that is hard to work out is how well is the Toughroad range selling?

Whilst I think it is an incredibly good set of models and for a lot of people makes a lot more sense than buying a DS/Roam/Crosstrail, that doesn't mean the general buying public are necessarily of the same mind.

One encouraging sign is that they did introduce the SLR 0 in some markets like Australia, as I was very concerned that if the Toughroad didn't do well in its first year, Giant might stop selling it in Australia.

One of my reasons for buying the Toughroad SLR 2 when I did buy it, was a fear that they might not offer it any longer.

Trek Australia last year, offered in its Touring range the 520, 720 & 920, but all the bikes sold so poorly, that none of them are offered in Australia this year.
