Cannondale Topstone Carbon

Topstone Carbon Lefty is a gravel bike to beat all gravel bikes. Dual suspension makes this the most off-road capable and on-road comfortable road bike ever made. We paired our proven, super-light, and effortlessly simple Kingpin rear suspension system with our cutting-edge, built-for-gravel Lefty Oliver 30mm gravel suspension fork—meaning better control and even more comfort. A refined geometry and rider position deliver an experience that’s stable, composed, and comfortable without losing that spark. Go further, ride longer, charge harder. Topstone Carbon Lefty comes with smaller diameter, higher-volume 650B x 47 tires for even more off-road ability and on-road comfort. It has plenty of places to store gear and water, with a multi-position mount on the downtube and more on the top tube, seat tube, and under the down tube. Additional well-thought-out features include Speed Release thru-axles, a rear fender mount, and easy internal cable routing via DirectLine (including internal dropper post compatibility). In short, the works. - BallisTec carbon frame with Kingpin suspension - Lefty Oliver gravel fork, 30mm travel - Shimano GRX 800/600 Wide 11-speed shifting - GRX 400 hydraulic disc brakes - Cannondale 1 crank w/SpideRing - Integrated Cannondale App connectivity

Topstone is pure gravel goodness. With its high-volume tires, confident rider position, and sporty handling, it is ready to smash out big miles on the backroads, explore routes less traveled, or smooth out the chop on your morning commute. Topstone Carbon distills Cannondale’s experience making fast race bikes, comfortable endurance bikes, and ultra-light dual suspension mountain bikes into the most off-road capable and on-road comfortable road bike ever made. Designed for maximum fun in places most gravel bikes would fear to tread, or maximum comfort in more sedate terrain. The Topstone features Kingpin suspension—a revolutionary, super-light system that provides up to 30mm of suspension without the weight and complexity of a shock or linkages, it lets you ride harder on dirt and more smoothly on pavement. A special thru-axle pivot in the seat tube allows engineered flex zones in the rear triangle and top tube to do their magic, absorbing bumps and vibration and improving comfort, traction, and control whether you're seated or standing. It offers better control, better traction, and better comfort with nothing sacrificed. Cannondale thought of everything when designing Topstone. Big clearance for big tires. Tons of gear and storage mounts. Speed Release thru-axles. DirectLine cable routing. Internal dropper post compatibility. In short, the works. Overall, Topstone is an unprecedented gravel bike with true suspension. The most capable off-road, the most comfortable on-road. - Shimano Ultegra wide-range drivetrain - Shimano Ultegra RX GS Shadow Plus rear derailleur - WTB KOM Light i23 TCS wheels
