Nothing really "new" here.
In broad brush concept there is probably nothing new in the sense of a rigid bike with wide tires, but those over-the-bar-geometry mountain bikes from back in the day really are terrible. For someone with money to spend on a bike, the Jamis is a nice option that comes with decent geometry and modern parts like disk brakes, and I'm liking the wide-road 650b concept a lot these days.
