Probably not, though the LHT doesn't really 'dominate' the way it used to. For awhile it was very much
the quintessential touring bike but it doesn't seem to be anymore and since there are several worthy models: The Kona Sutra, Salsa Marrakesh, REI Co-Op Adv models, and probably many other I can't think of right now.
