CX racers. If you want gravel capability, look at Checkpoint or Checkmate instead.

Gravel riders. Orca if you want road race; Occam if you want MTB trail.
Orbea gravel: stable, mounts, and a calmer chart than Orca. It wants mixed surfaces and longer days.
CX and gravel racers who size like a road-race bike. If you want Future Shock and mounts, Diverge is the sibling.
The light gravel/CX race bike: lower and snappier than Diverge, with less adventure hardware. It feels like a Tarmac that grew tire clearance.
