Giant Defy Advanced
Sportive riders and anyone who found TCR too low. Gravel-curious riders may still prefer Revolt for tire room.
Endurance Giant: taller stack, longer endurance front center, and a ride aimed at all-day road rather than crits.

Endurance Giant: taller stack, longer endurance front center, and a ride aimed at all-day road rather than crits.
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.
All-day road riders who found SuperSix too low.
Endurance Cannondale with SmartSense on some kits. Taller stack, calmer than SuperSix, still a road bike rather than Topstone gravel.
