Merida gravel/adventure. Stable, mounts, calmer than Scultura.
Gravel riders who want one bike for events and weekends. Racers who want a lower, racier gravel bike should also look at Crux.
Specialized's gravel all-rounder. Future Shock up front (on many kits), generous tire room, and a position between Crux-race and touring. Recent Diverge 4 years shift clearance and front-end feel.
