Colnago V4Rs
Racers who want the current Colnago race brief. C68 if you want the lugged flagship.

Gravel riders who want Giant's drop-bar all-road, not a TCR with knobbies.
Giant's gravel bike: stable, mounts, and a position between Defy and a race gravel whip. The X variants add more suspension/travel attitude.
CX racers and riders who want a dedicated mud bike rather than a Grail with knobbies.
A cyclocross race chassis: steep enough to hop barriers, short enough to snap through off-camber corners — not a gravel-adventure geometry.
Gravel racers. URS if you want the adventure BMC.
BMC gravel-race bike. Lower and faster than URS, built for events.
