Sportives, gran fondos, and riders coming off a race bike who want more stack without going full gravel.
Taller stack, longer stays, and calmer steering than the Ultimate. It still pedals like a Canyon road bike, but it takes the edge off chipseal and all-day hours.
Gravel riders who want comfort and tire room. Racers may prefer SuperX.
Gravel Cannondale with Kingpin rear flex on carbon models. Stable, progressive, and happier on chunk than SuperX.
Riders who want a Colnago that isn't a WorldTour V4Rs. More comfort and presence than the V bikes.
Colnago's lugged-carbon flagship. More of a beautiful all-rounder than a pure V-series race whip, with a size run in Colnago's s-suffix chart.
