So why the big differences and why isn’t it more emphasized?
And what would be the ideal range of trail for gravel bikes?
Or am I missing something else in this picture?

Three of my road bikes have trails in the mid-upper 50's but an older DeRosa that I have has trail closer to mid 60's. I LOVE the ride of the high trail bike, but that is at speed. I'm not a gravel kinda guy (yet?), but I'd guess that the last thing you'd want is something kind of 'less certain' or 'noodly' on a gravel bike at lower speed on variable terrain. I dunno....
