Cube Litening C:68X
Racers who want Cube value. Agree is the more aero-named sibling; Attain is endurance.
Cube's aero/light race bike. German spec-for-the-money, race geometry, a lot of bike in the size run from 50–62.

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.
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.
Racers and fit riders who want Giant's race geometry without Propel's deep tubes.
Giant's lightweight race bike: compact sloping top tube, sharp steering, and a fit that has been a stack/reach reference for a long time. Less aero drama than Propel.
