Whether you’re navigating a winding bridleway, loading up for a weekend bikepacking trip, or just heading off the beaten path, the Cannondale Topstone 2 1x is designed to handle the unpredictability of gravel with confidence and ease.
Built around Cannondale’s SmartForm C2 alloy frame, the Topstone balances strength and lightness, with carefully engineered compliance for a smoother ride. With tyre clearance up to 45mm, you’ve got space to run wide rubber for added grip and comfort on loose terrain. The frame also features StraightShot internal cable routing and multiple mounting points for bottles, racks and gear ideal for long-distance rides and multi-day escapes.
At the front, the Topstone Carbon fork includes three mount bosses on each leg and fender compatibility, giving you endless setup options. The fork’s OutFront geometry adds stability on descents without sacrificing nimble handling.
The drivetrain uses Shimano’s gravel-ready CUES U6000 11-speed system, paired with a wide-range 40T chainring and a smooth, low-maintenance LinkGlide chain. The CUES 6030 hydraulic disc brakes offer excellent stopping power, even when fully loaded or riding in changeable weather.
Rolling on lightweight GXD 1.0 tubeless-ready rims and WTB Riddler 700x37c tyres, the Topstone delivers fast rolling efficiency on hardpack with enough tread bite to grip loose gravel. The Cannondale 3 finishing kit and dropper post compatibility round out a build that’s as adaptable as your riding ambitions.
