Adventure and all-road riders who want more stability than the Grail race bike.
Slacker and more stable than the Grail, with room for bigger tires. Planted on rough doubletrack and less nervous at bikepacking pace.
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.
