Sportives, gran fondos, and riders coming off a race bike who want more stack without going full gravel.
Taller stack, longer stays, and calmer steering than the Ultimate. It still pedals like a Canyon road bike, but it takes the edge off chipseal and all-day hours.
Climbers and riders who want a light Specialized that isn't a full aero race bike. Not an endurance bike.
A lightweight road bike without the Tarmac's aero brief. It climbs and floats; it does not try to be a Tarmac SL7 in a crosswind. The position is still race-adjacent, not Roubaix-tall.
Sportive riders who found a 795 too low.
Look endurance road: more stack and all-day manners than the 795 race bikes, still a carbon road bike rather than gravel.
