Anyone else seen it? It's a fast hybrid for light gravel/light offroad riding. Edit: I though it had been released in some markets for a year, but I think their Giant websites had just been updated with the new bike a little earlier than others. I have been looking at the Giant Fastroad SL recently, wishing it had a few of the Fastroad AR 1 features (1x11, thru-axles, etc) and am quite favorably impressed with the new bike.

I don't much like the Giant D-fuse seatpost and find Giant own-brand wheelsets to be fairly sub-par on the whole, but there is a lot to like about the new bike. 12 mm thru axles front and rear are a welcome upgrade from the QR of the Fastroad SL, and the more gravel(ish) geometry is that of a flat bar Revolt. Looks like a great bike.
