Cervelo endurance road: taller, more tire room, all-day. It is not a slow bike — it is an R5 that sat up.
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.
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.
