Cannondale Topstone Carbon 3 Carbon 27.5 inch

Experience it yourself. Gravel roads, single trails, rough country paths. The traction-rich, comfort-oriented Topstone Carbon Gravel bike is a true all-rounder with no limits.

The best gravel bike for all adventure-hungry explorers. Free yourself from any restrictions and discover the unknown. With its unique KingPin rear suspension, the Topstone Carbon is ready for any ride, whether bikepacking trips, fast and fun gravel tours, or technical trail adventures. Wherever it takes you, nothing is impossible.

Full traction for full throttle!
Maximum traction and maximum confidence in every corner. Thanks to the unmatched grip and comfort of the KingPin rear suspension, gravel roads, remote paths, and lonely connecting trails lose their intimidating edge. KingPin operates with maximum efficiency using only one bearing, without the complexity of dampers or additional bearings.

Tour-ready
With its numerous mounting points and generous tire clearance, this bike was designed for those who prefer to travel off paved roads. Whether it's a short day trip or a multi-day bikepacking adventure – the Topstone Carbon is ready.

Simply ingenious. Simply inspiring.
When developing the Topstone Carbon, easy and durable handling, user-friendliness, and compatibility were top priorities. KingPin requires no adjustment or maintenance work. Additionally, the cables/hoses are routed internally and rattle-free. Other features include an externally accessible seatpost clamp and a BSA threaded bottom bracket. Less maintenance, more leisure time.

Never has it been easier to ride harder
Improved geometry and riding position for a safe, relaxed, and comfortable riding experience that still brims with riding pleasure. Ride further, longer, and faster!

Full attack
Plenty of space for gear and water, a "multi-position" mounting point on the down tube, and even more mounting points on the top tube, seat tube, and underneath the down tube. There are even mounting points on the fork.
