The shop may convert to tubeless after the sale, but everything comes with tubes.
2018 Giants with PR-2 wheels seem to be shipping set up as tubeless (at least from *Advanced 2) and the 2017s with carbon wheels shipped with tubeless too.

After my next set of tires, I might be interested to try tubeless, but I'm not going to get new wheels or probably even Mavic tires.
