Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 L Gravel Bike

Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 L Gravel Bike

The Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 L Gravel Bike delivers control and comfort on almost any terrain. Perfect for gravel and adventure riding, when you don't know what may be ahead of you, this bike incorporates the innovative Kingpin suspension system into the rear of the frame, has room for wide tyres (700c or 650b) and uses a SAVE seatpost, all contributing to high compliance. Proportional Response technology creates an optimised ride feel across the range of sizes and OutFront steering geometry makes for nimble but stable handling. 

Topstone Carob 2 L Gravel Components

Shimano's gravel-specific components - GRX 800 - are rugged, reliable and optimise gears for the type of terrain that may be encountered. The drivetrain has an integrated stabiliser to reduce chain slap and drop over rougher ground, and there is a wide range of gears to get you up the steepest of climbs. Stopping is taken care of by powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and the bike rolls on stiff and light WTB KOM light 700c wheels fitted with wide 45mm WTB Riddler TCS Light tyres. 

Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 L Highlights

• Kingpin suspension delivers a smooth ride without the added weight and complexity of a shock and links
• New low-friction bushings on the Kingpin thru-axle offer smooth action, maintenance-free reliability and over 100 grams of weight savings vs the previous cartridge bearings
• Proportional Response size-specific construction creates optimal frame stiffness and compliance for each frame size, so that every rider gets the ideal ride feel and comfort of Kingpin

• Plentiful gear and water bottle mounts on the frame and fork
• An integrated wheel sensor delivers hyper-accurate speed, route and distance info while you ride, registers your bike, reminds you of needed services and more, all through the free Cannondale App
