Cross vs Gravel bike question

CX comes with the smaller rings.

Makes it more confusing.

Pretty sure he meant 46/36 and 50/34

Looks like the Jari fork has braze ons and fits wider tires.

I just bought a Fuji Jari 1.5 with a Rival 1x set up. I put 650B wheels on it with Compass BabyShoe Pass tires and love this bike! One reason I did not buy a Cross model is that the cables run along the top of the top tube and I catch my shorts whenever I have to put a foot down at a light or intersection. The Jari Gravel has mostly internal cable routing, perfect for me. Also I wanted to try a 1x set up, this came with SRAM 11-42 cassette and FSA 42 tooth crank. I may need a smaller crank!

I had the same dilemma with the foundry overland (gravel) and flyover (cx). I went with the flyover and absolutely love it. It has a lot more lively ride than i would expect a longer/lower gravel bike would have.
