• They dont have huge clearance but they are closer to a road bike geo, as specified ?
    Aspero and superX maybe too, but grizl, erdgeschoss, bokeh, those are off road geometries

  • To me the differences in geo are unlikely to be as noticeable as features will be beneficial like mudguard fixing, mounts, routing, tyre clearance.
    I’d focus on geo that fits over genre of geo.

  • I'm not suggesting to get an ill fitting bike !
    What i found personnally is that longer geo and slacker forks get a bit frustrating on road and especially climbs. I would try to stick with the most agressive of gravel frames. Along the lines of some of the mentionned frames like santa cruz stigmata.
