Note

Classification of gravel bikes is based on a frame size that fits a 175 cm high rider (generally frame size M or 54), according to manufacturer’s charts.

Relaxed bike frames have a combination of high stack, short reach, and long chain stays

By themselves, stack and reach aren’t really related to relaxedness

Headtube angle, seattube angle, bottom bracket drop, and trail aren’t really related to relaxedness
