Cannondale Topstone 3 2026 - Gravel Bike
The Cannondale Topstone 3 is designed for riders who want a bike that can do it all, from gravel adventures to light touring and daily commutes. Its SmartForm C2 alloy frame delivers a great balance of low weight, strength and durability, paired with a full carbon Topstone fork for precise handling and vibration damping. With clearance for up to 45mm tyres, the Topstone 3 can tackle rougher gravel tracks while keeping comfort and grip high.
Key Features:
- SmartForm C2 alloy frame, comfortable geometry, clearance up to 45mm tyres
- Topstone full carbon fork with mounts for gear and fenders
- Shimano Sora 2x9-speed drivetrain
- Promax Decoder R mechanical disc brakes, 160mm rotors
- GXD 1.0 tubeless-ready wheels
- Vittoria Terreno Dry 700x37c tyres for fast-rolling grip
- Plentiful frame & fork mounts for bottles, racks & bags
- Available with 0% APR finance
The bike’s geometry strikes a perfect balance between upright enough for comfort and control on long days or rough surfaces, while still maintaining the efficiency of a road bike. This makes the Topstone equally at home on all-day gravel epics, commuting to work, or riding fast on smoother tarmac.
Equipped with a Shimano Sora 2x9 drivetrain, the Topstone 3 gives you reliable shifting and a wide gear range for climbing steep hills or keeping pace on the flats. The FSA Tempo Adventure chainset with 46/30 gearing pairs with an 11-34T cassette, offering versatile ratios for mixed terrain. Stopping power comes from Promax Decoder R mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors, delivering dependable braking performance in all conditions.
Rolling on GXD 1.0 wheels with Vittoria Terreno Dry 700x37c tyres, the Topstone 3 is quick and efficient while offering grip on looser surfaces. Practicality is built in, with mounts for three bottles, racks, mudguards, and top-tube storage, making it ideal for bikepacking and touring setups.
Finished with a Cannondale alloy cockpit, Fizik Aliante Delta saddle and comfort-focused 27.2mm seatpost, the Topstone 3 has everything you need for all-surface versatility. Whether you’re packing light for a weekend away or riding gravel loops close to home, the Cannondale Topstone 3 is a capable, reliable and fun companion for every adventure.
