Gravel bikes have seen some big changes, and the Cannondale Topstone Carbon has one of the most obvious: A rear triangle that boasts clever suspension. Every rutted gravel road is made a bit smoother, thanks to Cannondale's exclusive Kingpin rear suspension. The Kingpin suspension's compliance is produced with a specific BallisTec carbon fiber layup and a set of thru-axle pivots on the seat tube, eliminating the need for a complicated rear shock and multiple linkages. The Topstone's Carbon's torsional rigidity remains very high, thanks to a solidly constucted main triangle, hub thru-axles and a tapered head tube. Cannondale's BallisTec carbon fiber is found throughout the frameset, keeping weight very low. The overall geometry of the Topstone Carbon is more upright, allowing a wider range of riders -and rider flexiblities- to get comfortable on long journeys. Mounts for bottles and a top tube bag add versatility for wilderness adventures or day trips.

Shimano's 11-speed 105 components are found throughout the drivetrain, including the dual-control levers, front derailleur, Shadow-style long-cage rear derailleur, and 11-34T cassette. The alloy 46/30T Cannondale 1 crankset does power delivery duties. Tubeless-ready alloy WTB ST i23 wheels are wrapped with meaty tubeless-ready 700x37c WTB Riddler TCS Light tires, bringing bags of grip to the party. 650B wheels with tires up to 48c can be added (sold separately). The Topstone Carbon can take up to 40c tires with the current WTB wheels. Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes bring confident stopping power in all conditions, rain or shine. A 16-degree flared alloy Cannondale 3 handlebar, alloy Cannondale 3 stem, alloy Cannondale 3 seatpost and Fabric Scoop Shallow Sport saddle complete this innovative adventurer.
