All-day road riders, Roubaix-fantasy cobble people, and anyone who found Tarmac too low.
Future Shock endurance road: extra stack, a suspended steer tube, and a ride that takes cobbles and chipseal without turning into gravel. Geometry is taller than Tarmac across the size run.
Gravel riders who want comfort and tire room. Racers may prefer SuperX.
Gravel Cannondale with Kingpin rear flex on carbon models. Stable, progressive, and happier on chunk than SuperX.
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.
