I purchased it because I thought having the option for larger tires was a good idea. Ive had it since April and use it mostly on the road. I took the larger stock 38mm tires off and put on 32mm GP5000 road slicks. I posted one of my rides from my Apple Watch to show its pretty good as a road bike. I’m sure my fitness holds me back more than the bike. That being said. I really think you should think about what you really want before you go with a gravel bike. I thought the versatility was good but now I am obsessed with going fast. I’m now wondering how much faster I might be going if I went with a race or endurance road bike. Probably not much faster but how do I know until I try one out lol. I know adding the road slicks helped me go faster. If you are the type of person that will use the gravel bike as a multipurpose bike like it is was designed I’d say go for it. If you are mostly going to just ride on the road like I’ve been doing you may have some buyers remorse like I’m having.
