Trek Boone
CX racers. If you want gravel capability, look at Checkpoint or Checkmate instead.
A UCI cyclocross race bike with IsoSpeed on some generations. Tight, muddy, and built to be shouldered — not a Checkpoint with CX tires.

Racers who want the Ineos/Dogma brief. F7 is the more attainable geometry cousin; Dogma X if you want endurance.
The halo Pinarello race bike: asymmetric stays, Italian race fit, and a size run in millimetres (430–595) that does not map 1:1 to S/M/L. It steers like a race bike that wants a skilled rider.
Sprinters and fast road riders who picked aero over weight. If you wanted the climbing bike in this era, compare stack/reach against the Émonda instead.
Gen 7 Madone: a pure aero race bike built on Kammtail Virtual Foil tubes with the IsoFlow cutout for rear compliance. It is the fast, heavier half of Trek's race line — Émonda is still the light bike in these years.
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.

The Specialized Crux Expert is a lightweight and fun gravel bike that handles well, but it's held back by an uncompetitive build for the high asking price.
Specialized says: “The Crux is the lightest gravel bike in the world, with the exceptional capability of massive tire clearance and performance gravel geometry.
