Product Highlights
The lightweight Kingpin system at the rear of the frame gives up to 30mm of plush suspension.
A precise, gravel specific gear setup with a wide range of ratios is ideal for any terrain.
Clearance for big volume tyres grants increased traction and comfort over rough terrain.
A gravel-specific suspension fork, the Lefty Oliver grants 30mm of bump taming travel.
Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 Lefty Gravel Bike
The Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 Lefty Gravel Bike is well-equipped for the exploration of rougher terrain. Lefty Oliver is a suspension fork aimed at gravel riding, offering 30mm of front travel and a single-sided design for incredibly precise steering and control. Paired with Kingpin suspension in the rear, compliance and shock-absorption are excellent, reducing fatigue for more speed over bumpy, rocky trails. OutFront Steering Geometry makes the bike feel stable yet nimble and every frame size has a Proportional Response construction, which means there are no compromises to handling or ride feel for the smallest or largest sizes.
The Shimano GRX drivetrain is gravel-specific, in a 1x configuration. A Dynamic Chain Engagement tooth profile to the chainring, along with a clutch on the rear derailleur, prevents the chain from bouncing off when it's particularly rough. There's a wide-ranging cassette to help you up the steepest hills, and hydraulic disc brakes deliver confidence-inspiring power at speed. WTB KOM Light wheels are paired with wide 44c WTB Raddler TCS Light tyres, and they're tubeless-ready so you can reap the benefits of running lower tyre pressures. A Cannondale Wheel Sensor gives you access to route, speed and distance information via the free associated app.
Please note: Tools and accessories pictured in StrapRack tool holder are not included.
Cannondale Topstone Lefty Highlights
- Lefty Oliver is the ultimate gravel suspension fork. Unique single-sided design and needle-bearing internals deliver unmatched steering precision and smoothness for unreal control and comfort
- 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

- Gravel-specific Shimano GRX 800 groupset
- WTB KOM Light i23 TCS 700c wheels
