Cervelo Caledonia
Sportive and rough-road riders who found R5/S5 too low.
Cervelo endurance road: taller, more tire room, all-day. It is not a slow bike — it is an R5 that sat up.

CX racers. If you want gravel capability, look at Checkpoint or Checkmate instead.
A UCI cyclocross race bike with IsoSpeed on some generations. Tight, muddy, and built to be shouldered — not a Checkpoint with CX tires.
Gravel riders. Orca if you want road race; Occam if you want MTB trail.
Orbea gravel: stable, mounts, and a calmer chart than Orca. It wants mixed surfaces and longer days.
