Appears that some manufacturers are modernizing the upper tier DS hybrids to a 1x drivtrain:
Cannondale Quick CX 1 - with a tapered steerer :O
Canyon Pathlite 7
Trek Dual Sport 4
Scott Sub Cross - was told by my LBS to expect a 1x soon.
Specialized Crosstrail - Appears to be a no show......Come On Specialized! Used to make awesome upper level Crosstrails with the E5 and Carbon frames! Where are you now?
Was curious if any of you with the Dual Sport Hybrids have switched over to a 1x drivetrain yet? I'm still throwing it out as a possible upgrade to my Sub Cross this coming winter for next year.
Do you find it easier to use rather than a 3x setup? What are the positive and negative issues you have found?
Noticed each listing above, have the bikes weight between 25 to 27lbs.
