Cervelo Aspero
Gravel racers. Caledonia if you want road endurance with some dirt; Aspero-5 if you want the aero gravel version.
Gravel-race Cervelo. Trail mixer, low and fast, built for events rather than touring. Aspero-5 adds aero.

CX racers and riders who want a dedicated mud bike rather than a Grail with knobbies.
A cyclocross race chassis: steep enough to hop barriers, short enough to snap through off-camber corners — not a gravel-adventure geometry.
Racers and fit riders who want Giant's race geometry without Propel's deep tubes.
Giant's lightweight race bike: compact sloping top tube, sharp steering, and a fit that has been a stack/reach reference for a long time. Less aero drama than Propel.
