Cannondale Topstone Carbon 3 GRX 2x

The Cannondale Topstone Carbon 3 GRX 2x is an advanced gravel bike designed to push boundaries, from fast gravel roads to technical off-road adventures. The heart of this bike is its lightweight carbon frame, equipped with the revolutionary Kingpin suspension system. This system offers up to 30mm of smooth rear wheel travel without the weight or complexity of a traditional shock and pivots. The result is exceptional comfort, superior traction on rough terrain, and reduced rider fatigue, allowing you to ride longer and harder.

This Topstone is specifically configured with a Shimano GRX 2x11-speed drivetrain, a deliberate choice for riders who demand maximum versatility. The 2x (double) setup offers smaller gear jumps and a wider total range than a 1x system, which is ideal for finding the perfect cadence on both steep climbs and fast descents. The GRX group is specifically designed for gravel, guaranteeing reliability and crisp shifting performance. The hydraulic GRX 600 disc brakes also provide powerful and excellently modulated braking power in all weather conditions.

Versatility is central to the Topstone Carbon 3. With numerous mounting points on the frame and fork, the bike is ready for bikepacking bags, extra water bottles, and fenders. The frame offers generous tire clearance (standard with 700x37c tires) for added grip and comfort. Additionally, the bike is 'SmartSense-compatible', meaning you can easily add Cannondale's integrated lighting and radar system for unprecedented safety and visibility.
