Just a lot of bike brands don't have any 26ers anymore.
That’s to do with the changes in modern geometry. 27.5 and to an even more extent 29 are much smoother rolling than a 26 because the larger contact patch lets you roll over larger holes and bumps. 26s are still great but nowadays are used more for pump track or trick bikes since they tend to be lighter and more maneuverable.
