Hey all,
I’m looking for a long distance endurance bike (50 – 100 mile rides) that can handle roads and gravel. I’d be looking to do about 80% road and 20% gravel. I’m looking at endurance/gravel bikes since I am wanting to sacrafice speed for comfort. Right now my top 3 are but would take any additional recommendations!:

If you can/are willing to spend $500 more than the domane, I’d say to look at the Checkpoint sl 6 AXS. Geometry and tire clearance will make for more comfort. And it will happily take 32mm tires for more speed. And the lower shift effort with AXS is wonderful.
