Many gravel bikes are moving to lower BB's for stability on loose surfaces and that can make cornering clearance more of an issue with big leans on tarmac.
Lets hope they stick to the 80/20 (road/offroad) ratio and just give us a Diverge with FutureShock + slightly more tire size.

I think both the Open UP and 3T Exploro is a good reference, from what I read, it's a killer on both surfaces
