Bike 1 is sold as a CX bike, bike 2 and 3 are gravel bikes. As one can see the CX bike front end is designed more for stability, very much like a mountain bike. Bike 1 does come from a mountain bike company. Bike 4 is a typical road machine. You draw your own conclusions.
For comparison:-
Bike 1: Head angle 67, trail 99, tyre size 29x 2.35", BB drop 38, wheelbase 1190
Bike 2: Head angle 72.5, trail 58, tyre size 700x32, BB drop 70, wheelbase 1025
Bike 3: Head angle 73, trail 58, tyre size 700x30, BB drop 73, wheelbase 1006
One of them is a modern mtb trail bike, other 2 are modern endurance road bikes.
