I never understood that need to categorize at such a detailed level.<p>Same is happening in the bicycle world. Now your road bike that you also take on dirt roads should be called a gravel bike, but then we need to make distinctions with gravel racing bikes, gravel bikepacking bikes, adventure bikes and they will soon make the distinction between rigid, hardtail and fully suspended gravel bikes regular or flat-bar gravel bike, the same way they split MTB to cross country, downcountry, trail, all-mountain, enduro, dh, freeride, fatbike and whatever I am missing. This is ridiculous. The irony is an aero road bike designed for pure speed on the road today can accept wider tires (up to 32mm wide) than what was considered fit enough for riding dirt roads 20 years ago (25-28mm), so they should be also called gravel bike in a way. Just call them bikes FFS.
