You could also take a look at the Giant Roam 2, I've got one and love it. It's got slightly wider tires yet than the Escape at 40mm. I also love the hydraulic disc brakes as well, especially when sailing down a long descent. The only thing I could not stand was the saddle, just needed something a bit wider and sprung so i took the saddle of my original Giant Sedona.
