I really dislike this trend towards having a different bike for every use someone can invent.
Actually, I probably used to ride cx on a gas pipe 10 speed....It was called being a kid.
Cross is not new.... Races are popping up more places but it's been going on for quite a long time. In Europe for even longer.
I will agree that the bikepacking and adventure bikes are getting nitpicky with the actual differences from a CX or disk road bike but it doesn't effect me any so who cares.
