Cannondale Gravel Bikes Review & Guide

In recent years, the bike industry has gone a bit gravel bike mad - but no bike brands have invested as heavily into their gravel bike collection, as Cannondale have. The Topstone range in particular, has been a massive success for Cannondale, and at Westbrook Cycles - we have sold great numbers of Cannondale Gravel Bikes both online and in store.

The Topstone range can do almost anything required of it, and the range is named after the Cannondale team's favourite gravel route near their base in Connecticut. The riding position on the Topstone range is one of our favourite aspects of the collection, instead of being purely race focused - the Topstone is also designed to be comfortable, meaning you can ride the Topstone fast, all day long. Cannondale's Mountain Bike pedigree is also clear to see when looking at the geometry of the Topstone range - slack head angles and long forks give the bike the perfect blend of pace and agility.

Another great thing about the Topstone range is their versatility. These bikes can do everything from race, to touring, to commuting. They can be fitted with panniers, baby seats, mudguards, bottle cages, luggage and anything else you can imagine.

The base specification on these bikes is also great, with disc brakes as standard. Aluminium options represent the perfect entry into the world of gravel biking, and the Carbon Fibre Topstone provides excellent levels of performance.
