Rack mount.
Generally this bike reeks of cost cutting compared to the previous gen. 10r to 9r frame, 2lbs heavier(!), lower spec wheels compared to previous gen at least among the top spec models I looked at, no more CG-R post.
Most of all this is now squarely a gravel bike, whereas the previous one perfectly straddled the line between road and gravel. I guess Spec has abandoned the type of bike they inspired Trek and Focus to build in the Domane SL/R and Paralane. Understandable since many wanted more tire clearance. Shame that now you have to choose between road and gravel with the Roubaix and Diverge. Their N=1 bike died after one gen.
