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 one bike for events and weekends. Racers who want a lower, racier gravel bike should also look at Crux.
Specialized's gravel all-rounder. Future Shock up front (on many kits), generous tire room, and a position between Crux-race and touring. Recent Diverge 4 years shift clearance and front-end feel.
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.
