Another thing I just noticed about this bike is the 3 pack mounts on the fork. When I was looking for a gravel bike a few months ago, not many bikes had this option. It's super nice if you have any long rides you'd like to try, but your water sources are minimal. You can add a bottle cage to each side of the fork. A bunch of gravel rides I've done have no store stops since they are so remote. Also good for bike packing. Even if you don't use the mounts all the time, having the option is worth it's weight in gold.
