First Look: Easton Heist Wheels
We designed the Heist wheels for cross-country to aggressive all-mountain riding, not dirt jumping or downhill. We still manufacture 26" wheels - they're called Havoc http://eastoncycling.com/en-us/dirt/wheels/gravity/>.
In general, OEM has some influence on after-market product offerings (read: the industry is simply not producing as many 26" XC/trail/all-mountain bikes like they used to). Not only that, but we just weren't getting the same demand for 26" (as seen on PB forums) from even bike shops. We have decided to stick with the growing 650b/27.5" and 29" offerings at this time.
Out of the wide-rim wheel offerings out there, the Heist is lighter and wider than majority of wheels in its class (e.g. Stan's ZTR Flow Ex). The X5 is an entirely new hub, designed for its durability and affordability. For those wanting to go wide (and have better traction through corners), the Heist is one of the most affordable options on the market.

jboom - not sure which previous incarnation you are referencing. The only other Havoc is the Havoc 26" which is still offered, they were never aimed below 1500g as the 26" version is 1750g with 20x110 front and 12x142rear.
