I’d have thought material difference at the size frame you ride would be far reduced?
I was looking at Mason Bokeh, Cervelo Aspero, Cannondale Supersix SE, Canyon Grizl end up with the Standert to compliment the Ultimate. Not sure on the clearance for new released ultimate but mine already clears 32 easily.
Focus Parlane doesn’t have huge clearances? Similar for Synapse. Or at least last I looked.

After getting very sore hands on the long descents on the TCR this year, I think I finally need to switch to disc brakes - so it may be new bike time.
I do want a road-oriented rather than gravel bike.
An important criterion for me is tyre clearance. current bike will take up to 40mm and I'm reluctant to come down much from that, which I think will rule lots of the big brand offerings out. Minimum is 32mm with mudguards - which would rule out Kinesis based on what they say at least.
Prefer carbon - just because, all other things equal, it is likely to be lighter and I'm slow enough up hills, but other materials an option
To short-circuit my research, what are the best options at the moment (if any are actually available)?
