That looks a very odd design to me - why have two seat tubes when you could have one?

also, why not use one of shimano's funky new direct mount ones?

Both entirely valid questions, I feel

Isn't General Motors the second-largest motor manufacturer?

On the bright side they've finally got their carbon hardtail down to carbon hardtail weight but that's the only one that even vaguely appeals in an XTC copy sort of way.

That short travel FS is horrid. There are prettier horrors for 150e in my local supermarket.

Looking closer at the combination of fork dropout angle and disc mount that carbon hardtail is possibly the worst design I've ever seen from a wheel ejection point of view. :-/

Mike, have you got any idea about the press release for their roadies? I quite like my merida, and it's coming to the point where repair would be on par with replacing.
