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.

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.
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.
