I've currently got a Norco Search XR A2 gravel bike (Aluminum frame, carbon fork, Tiagra 2×10, mechanical disc). I'd like to upgrade to something with electronic shifting, hydraulic disc brakes and maybe less maintenance.

I bike to work on sunny days (12km round trip) and go for road rides up to 70km around my city. I put 32mm GP5000s on this bike, and can consider upgrading to carbon wheels if I don't end up buying a new bike. Haven't really touched gravel trails and don't know if I plan to. But having flexibility for wide tire clearance is nice.

I'm looking at one of the following bikes for my upgrade:

Van Rysel NCR CF ($3360 cad)- carbon frame/fork, SRAM Rival AXS 2×12

Giant Defy Advanced 1 ($3675 cad)- carbon frame/fork, 105 Di2 2×12

Priority Gemini ($5000 cad)- aluminum frame, carbon fork, Pinion smart shift, gates belt drive
