What are some models you know that fits this+ are under 11kg in weight,preferable under 10kg.
have good quality components (at least Tiagra/Deore equivalent ) comes with decent wheels (not super-duper pro stuff ,but just decent enough)
+ are able to take 40mm tyre + still have some clearance, Do not want suspension as It's just more clunky stuff that I have to carry around.

Basically a good component light-weight flat-bar gravel bike biggrin

Do not have a set budget. ( Ok max 700 for Used-Mint one,could just as well spend 200 if I can biggrin ) Want to see if I can find something decent used-but not sure which models are like that and has ability to take the larger tyres, Do not want a large clunky MTB frame.

Something like this Cube SL Road looks pretty gut (seems like can take larger tyres+comes with decent components)

What other models would you recommend?

£600, ticks all the boxes.

However, for £100 I got a nearly new Carrera Subway, possibly a bit heavier than 11kgs but it rides really nicely. 27 gears and hydraulic brakes.

It’s worth keeping an eye on Scumtree.

I did this 2 weeks ago, after cracking the frame on my 29er fully rigid inbred.

I went for the Pinnacle Neon and it is a great bike, but I did strip the right side crank pedal threads on the 2nd ride. Possibly due to manufacture error of non branded cranks.

I also went for it as it was from a physical store, although the current press over Evans would make me think twice and I would seriously consider the Vitus Mach 3 Sora from wiggle instead

Thanks for suggestions, a Boardman Hybrid pro in mint condition appeared (maybe done 150miles) for £265 today.
Carbon Fork/seatpost, alloy frame ,sram rival 2x10 gears, decent hydraulics.
Of course I got it.
9.5kg , in my frame size, seems like it will easily take ~40mm tyres. Can't really ask for better.
btw anyone knows whats the largest tyres that bike would take?
