Full traction for full throttle!
Maximum traction and maximum confidence in every curve. Thanks to the unparalleled grip and comfort of the KingPin rear suspension, field paths, remote roads, and lonely connecting paths lose their terror. KingPin operates at maximum efficiency with just one bearing, without the complexity of dampers or additional bearings.

Tour-ready
With its countless mounting points and generous tyre clearance, this bike is designed for those who prefer to ride off the beaten track. Whether it's a short day trip or a multi-day bikepacking adventure – the Topstone Carbon is ready.

Simply brilliant. Simply inspiring.
In developing the Topstone Carbon, ease of use, durability, user-friendliness, and compatibility are highly prioritized. KingPin requires no adjustments or maintenance. Additionally, the cables/hoses are routed internally in the frame without rattling. There is also an external seat post clamp and a BSA threaded bottom bracket. Less maintenance, more free time.

It has never been easier to ride harder
Improved geometry and seating position for a safe, relaxed, and comfortable riding experience that still exudes joy of riding ht. Ride further, longer, and faster!

Full attack
Ample space for gear and water, a “multi-position” mounting point on the down tube, and even more mounting points on the top and seat tubes, as well as under the down tube. There are even mounting points on the fork.
