Cannondale Topstone Carbon
Gravel riders who want comfort and tire room. Racers may prefer SuperX.

All-day road riders who found SuperSix too low.
Endurance Cannondale with SmartSense on some kits. Taller stack, calmer than SuperSix, still a road bike rather than Topstone gravel.
Sportive riders and anyone who found TCR too low. Gravel-curious riders may still prefer Revolt for tire room.
Endurance Giant: taller stack, longer endurance front center, and a ride aimed at all-day road rather than crits.
