Hint- Grail is faster on this course.
Although they really need to do these things on the same tires. I get tired of people saying the 33mm tired bike is slower when it is rough. Duh!

That's kind of the point though. You can drop a cx tire on the gravel bike but you can't drop a gravel tire on the cx bike. I wonder if the inflite would be faster than the grail with same cx tires on a cross course. There are bikes out there though that have a geometry in between gravel and cx and can take whatever.
