• It's closer to a road bike in terms of geometry and handling than a gravel bike is

    A proper race CX bike with euro geo really doesn't ride anything like a road bike. The numbers on their own aren't far off, but that does take into account the fatter rubber (which will change BB height/trail etc...).

    Unless you're Sven van der Aert more stable is likely to be faster too.

  • Have to say this is my experience too, my Swiss Cross handles nothing like my Donohue on the road - both race bikes in different disciplines.
