I’d spend a bit more and get something like a specialized diverge ($1600), giant revolt ($1400), or trek checkpoint ($1600).
if you wanna save money and don’t mind doing a tiny bit of assembly yourself, look at tantan, something like this: [https://tantanbikes.com/UDH-hanger-WheelTop-EDS-113S-Groupset-ew-Gravel-bike-bicycle-Full-Inner-Cable-Disc-Gravel-Complete-Bike-p6749705.html](https://tantanbikes.com/UDH-hanger-WheelTop-EDS-113S-Groupset-ew-Gravel-bike-bicycle-Full-Inner-Cable-Disc-Gravel-Complete-Bike-p6749705.html)
If you include outlet stuff, there are a few. I think I’d look at this [Canyon Endurace Allroad](https://www.canyon.com/en-us/outlet-bikes/road-bikes/endurace-allroad/50046495.html) but I’m a Canyon fanboy and though I haven’t used CUES, I have had good luck with Shimano stuff. Could also keep your eyes open on sites like Pros Closet and Buycycle.
I got a Revolt 2 2026 model for $1450 in mid August. Ive put 2800 miles on it so far, and i wouldn’t trade it for anything. I was wondering about the cues groupset, but it has performed perfectly, and works great.
Just throw away the stock tires as soon as you can. They may last forever, but they’re slow.
That price for the brake upgrade is way expensive for what you get. I have run both Brakes and the TRP didn’t make that much of a difference to me.
The Triton is a great bike for the price. You can get a comparable bike at a local shop for a bit more but they won’t perform any better or worse as far as the drive train is concerned. Micro shift sword is a solid drivetrain l.
The real advantage for Trek specialized Etc is the support of the local shop for service and getting a feeling for the size and handling before you buy it.
