Gravel riders who want Giant's drop-bar all-road, not a TCR with knobbies.

CX and gravel racers who size like a road-race bike. If you want Future Shock and mounts, Diverge is the sibling.
The light gravel/CX race bike: lower and snappier than Diverge, with less adventure hardware. It feels like a Tarmac that grew tire clearance.
Gravel racers. URS if you want the adventure BMC.
BMC gravel-race bike. Lower and faster than URS, built for events.
