Hmmm... this is in no way a critique, merely curious discussion; I appreciate that even Giant is marketing the Roam 3 as a hybrid'ish bike... but it's making me question how far it really is from my hardtail MTB; Giant XTC Composite 2 - the geometry looks quite similar, and I would definitely not categorise my XTC as hybrid by any means - even if it rides quite fast. I mean... you have 28" rims... shorter front suspension... and well... that's the main configurative difference? Yours even has MTB front and rear mech... what actually makes this not simply an entry level hardtail MTB regardless of Giant's marketing positioning?
