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.

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.
