"Gravel bikes make no sense coming from a MTB context. They make tons of sense coming from a road bike context. My gravel bike is faster, more comfortable, and safer than any road bike I've ever owned. "
That makes a bit more sense (though I still thinking hitting downhill gravel road washboard at 50+kph on a rigid gravel bike is something I have ZERO interest in). It's been in my mind to get rid of my road bike here in Whistler and switch to a gravel bike, which would give me slightly more options if I wasn't going to get on a mtb. But I would always rather mtb than road or gravel ride...
