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 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.
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.
