There was that Jaroon Plus. Still weird though

I think something like that Jaroon is what he wants. He wants to run those kind of forks too.
But then to me that Jaroon is just a mtb with drop bars no?
How do all these 'gravel' bikes like that Jaroon actually differ from a mountain bike hardtail? Is the geometry massively different from a xc hardtail?

A little US centric and maybe a year out of date, but:

There's a link to a 29" version of the page in there too
