Did Wal Mart pull the plug on Viathon?
Quote | Reply
A couple weeks ago it seemed like they were blowing out all the bikes on the website, last week they all showed sold out, and today I noticed the Viathon site is gone (does not even show up on google if you search for it) They still have a landing page on Walmart site. but no links to product pages.
If they did shut it down; kind of interesting to me how little time they gave it. ~18 months I believe?

Hello, we are not out of business, our website is down due to some technical issues and while it is down we are taking the opportunity to make some changes. It will be back soon. As to the inventory, we are out of bikes and can't restock at this time as a result of delays from our suppliers caused by the pandemic.

I just noticed that as well (website pretty much gone). I just got a G1 1x Rival a few weeks ago, and really enjoyed on the the two rides I got in before the 12+ inches of snow last night and today. Probably will be a while before I get out on it again :(

I was seriously considering their hardtail MTB back in the spring before deciding to go for a full suspension bike.

I also grabbed a G1. I have been swapping parts around and will finally get to ride it today. I really like the geometry, I was looking for a cyclocross bike that fits wide tires and have 3 bottle mounts, and this fit the bill really well. Geometry is almost identical to a specialized crux.
