No bike company is going to be selling the same bikes that put them on the map ten+ years later.
If SC still selling he 1st gen Superlight? Or the Heckler 5?, Or the original Blur?
Is Yeti still selling the original ARC or the 575?
Surly still makes versions of all their greatest hits.
Krampus, Karate Monkey, Crosscheck, Big Dummy, and Long Haul Trucker are all still made, just updated.
They replaced fhe Pug and Moonlander with the Wednesday and ICT, which most people would consider improvements. They did nothing here that any other company wouldn’t have done. The difference is that most companies would have simply called the Wednesday the Pug v2 and not carried the two simultaneously.
The only bike I can think of that was popular that does not have a clear descendent is the 1x1. Lowside is kinda close, but not really.
