Merida aero race bike. Deep tubes, race fit, the Scultura's wind-cheating sibling.
Gravel racers coming from a road-race fit who found Checkpoint too tall or too touring-oriented.
The gravel-race Trek: lower, longer, and more aero than Checkpoint. It wants speed on dirt, not a full frame-bag tour.
Riders who want a drop-bar bike for mixed-surface events, not a touring mule.
Gravel-race geometry with a distinctive front end. Quick to turn and happier on fast dirt than on loaded bikepacking tracks.
