Canyon Grizl CF
Adventure and all-road riders who want more stability than the Grail race bike.
Slacker and more stable than the Grail, with room for bigger tires. Planted on rough doubletrack and less nervous at bikepacking pace.

CX and gravel racers who size like a road-race bike. If you want Future Shock and mounts, Diverge is the sibling.
The light gravel/CX race bike: lower and snappier than Diverge, with less adventure hardware. It feels like a Tarmac that grew tire clearance.
Sprinters and fast road riders who picked aero over weight. If you wanted the climbing bike in this era, compare stack/reach against the Émonda instead.
Gen 7 Madone: a pure aero race bike built on Kammtail Virtual Foil tubes with the IsoFlow cutout for rear compliance. It is the fast, heavier half of Trek's race line — Émonda is still the light bike in these years.
Gravel riders shopping Liv specifically.
Liv gravel: stable, capable, and closer to Revolt than to Langma. It wants mixed surfaces, not a crit.
