Colnago V4Rs
Racers who want the current Colnago race brief. C68 if you want the lugged flagship.
UAE Team Emirates' race bike. Stiff, aero-enough, and a millimetre size run (420–590) that needs a geometry chart, not a letter size.

Gravel racers coming from a road-race fit who found Checkpoint too tall or too touring-oriented.
The gravel-race Trek: lower, longer, and more aero than Checkpoint. It wants speed on dirt, not a full frame-bag tour.
Fast road riders who want aero on Giant's chart. TCR is the lighter, more conventional sibling.
Giant's aero race bike. Stiffer at the front, more wind-cheating than TCR, still in the same size-letter family so many riders can twin the two.
Racers who like Cannondale's handling and want the serviceable frame. Synapse is the taller sibling; SuperX is the CX/gravel race cousin.
The fourth-generation EVO keeps the third generation's geometry but goes lighter, slipperier, and back to a threaded BSA bottom bracket. Same fit as the 2020–2022 bike, easier to live with.
