I don’t think there’s any question that GRX400 and Tiagra are on the way out, really. CUES will cover everything from 11-speed down.
Also, 1×10 gravel bike (with range) is a tough sell for me. I’m not that picky about cadence, but those are big jumps.

Over here in Germany, Cube has now overtaken Canyon in terms of bang for your buck.
The new Grizl 5 is 1499€, for that price, Cube offers the Nuroad Race, which comes with a mixed 2×12 speed drivetrain. GRX 820 rear derailleur.
Their closest equivalent offering is the Nuroad Pro at 1199€, Cues 11 speed.
There’s another tier down at 999€, but that’s using mechanical disc brakes and Microshift Sword.
And if that wasn’t enough, Cube also has a much more extensive service network than Canyon.

This is probably just Canyon counting on the fact that some buyers, who know nothing, will choose the 1x cues system because their buddy told them front derailleurs are just the worst thing ever.

I bet plenty of people will buy it.
Me? I’ll take the GRX400.
