Edit: do folks have a different perception of what a gravel bike is? That's the archetype IMO, I personally think that most so-called "gravel" bikes (as dubbed by the industry) are just road bikes with a tiny bit more clearance and one extra bottle cage. something something paradigm, modalities, other bullshit words, knowledge is porridge, etc.

I'd see the above as an ATB, personally.

You're right, I was joking. And you don't need any lower gear than 30(front)/34(rear) for carrying that extra bottle and bigger tyres.

Well based off the Gravel World Championship parcours, that's exactly what a gravel bike is.
150 miles at 21.6mph average probably needed some pretty big gearing too.
We don't have gravel roads in the UK like they do in the US so everyone gets wet over these 2" mtb tyred 650b things when they'd be far better off just buying an mtb.
