BMC Kaius
Gravel racers. URS if you want the adventure BMC.
BMC gravel-race bike. Lower and faster than URS, built for events.

BMC gravel-race bike. Lower and faster than URS, built for events.
Racers who like Cannondale's handling and want the serviceable frame. Synapse is the taller sibling; SuperX is the CX/gravel race cousin.
The fourth-generation EVO keeps the third generation's geometry but goes lighter, slipperier, and back to a threaded BSA bottom bracket. Same fit as the 2020–2022 bike, easier to live with.
Racers who want the Ineos/Dogma brief. F7 is the more attainable geometry cousin; Dogma X if you want endurance.
The halo Pinarello race bike: asymmetric stays, Italian race fit, and a size run in millimetres (430–595) that does not map 1:1 to S/M/L. It steers like a race bike that wants a skilled rider.
Climbers and racers who want Cervelo without S5's deep aero cockpit. Soloist is the value race sibling.
Cervelo's lightweight race bike. It does not try to be an S5. Climbing, precise, and still a low WorldTour stack/reach chart.

The handling geometry has been lifted directly from the R5 climbing race bike to create what Cervelo says is a platform with “poise, stability, and precision”.
Cervelo's R5 is an excellent all-rounder. For everything from long and steep climbs to big rides over questionable surfaces, it's sufficiently light and ...
