Canyon Grail CF
Riders who want a drop-bar bike for mixed-surface events, not a touring mule.
Gravel-race geometry with a distinctive front end. Quick to turn and happier on fast dirt than on loaded bikepacking tracks.

CX racers. If you want gravel capability, look at Checkpoint or Checkmate instead.
A UCI cyclocross race bike with IsoSpeed on some generations. Tight, muddy, and built to be shouldered — not a Checkpoint with CX tires.
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.
Gravel riders who want Bianchi.
Bianchi gravel. Drop-bar, mixed-surface, calmer than Specialissima.
