Cannondale Topstone Carbon

Built For Adventure

The Topstone Carbon is built for versatility, featuring OutFront steering, Lefty Oliver suspension and KingPin rear gravel suspension. The Topstone Carbon is perfect for bikepacking and exploring technical terrain.

Ride Impression

We tested the Cannondale Topstone Carbon on the gravel trails and rough terrain here in South Wales. You can find out what we thought of the bike in the video here.

HiMod Carbon Frame

The Topstone is built on a lightweight HiMod carbon frame featuring Cannondale’s proportional response geometry delivering a fast and responsive ride. An extra long fork offset paired with a slack head angle is designed for lively steering while offering confidence on technical terrain. The frame also features internal cable routing throughout, combined with a concealed stem offering a tidy and integrated look.

Stash Port

All models now includes a Stash Port downtube storage system, which can be easily accessed under the bottle cage, to allow you to carry all your essentials with you on shorter rides or offering more storage for bike packing trips.

Riding the Cannondale Topstone

Lefty Oliver Fork

The Topstone Carbon comes in both rigid and suspension fork options. This particular Topstone Carbon 1 model features a Lefty Oliver fork which is a single sided suspension fork offering 40mm of travel for improved steering and control on rough terrain.

KingPin Suspension

Aswell as front suspension, the frame features Cannondale’s Kingpin gravel rear suspension. A thru axle pivot in the seat tube allows for the rear triangle and seatpost to flex vertically offering up to 30mm travel for additional compliance and will smooth out any bumps.

Large Tyre Clearance

The large tyre clearance with both the frame and fork allows for a smoother ride. The frame itself offers clearance for a 52mm wide tyre. Whereas a rigid fork has space for a 56mm tyre and this Lefty Oliver fork will allow a 47mm tyre.

Cannondale Smart Sense

Dropper Compatible

This bike is very versatile, but to add to its versatility you can install an internally routed 27.2mm dropper seatpost. So if you are looking for additional control on fast descents or technical terrain, you can fit a dropper post should you want to.

Whether you are gearing up for your next bike-packing trip, riding routes less travelled or even signing up for gravel racing, the Topstone Carbon will cope with it all.
