I’m a newbie to biking. Is this a good beginner bike?
I understand it’s a race gravel bike. I’m not looking to go fast but based on how it looks (subjective) and the fact I can put on a beefy tire (650b) looking for people’s opinions who own this bike or a similar bike?
Thank you!!

That’s definitely not a beginner bike. You could ride it as a beginner, but it’s not gonna be the most comfortable. If you’re not looking to go super fast, there’s lots of gravel bikes for quite a bit cheaper that are designed more for comfort. This bike has a very aggressive riding position and might turn you off from cycling if you’re not prepared for it.
Like you, I was recently searching around for my first gravel bike. Not a beginner to cycling but a beginner to anything drop bar. I ended up getting a Giant Revolt Advanced 3.
