SOMEBODY get the word to Cannondale . . . people HATE press fit bottom brackets. But they HATE, HATE, HATE non-standard proprietary press fit bottom brackets that limit crankset options!! Gravel bikers, more than roadies, are people who like to try different cranks and gearing. I know gravel racers who ride a different crankset based on the course they're racing on in a given week. If they accidentally buy this bike, with its "we want to force you to buy our crankset" bottom bracket, they are sunk.

And the "integrated" seatpost clamp? Is there any manufacturer that makes one of these that's trouble free? Nobody. A huge proportion of them slip and/or require frequent re-torquing. Why invite that? Traditional seatpost clamps aren't less aero (in spite of appearances) and they WORK. Every time. All the time.
