Nothing is Impassable
Go ahead, ride it. If your idea of a fun road ride starts where the pavement ends, no other gravel bike can take you further than the Topstone Carbon and its revolutionary Kingpin suspension system. Offered with either a rigid carbon fork, or as a full dual suspension machine with the Lefty Oliver gravel fork, these bikes offer traction, comfort and control beyond the dreams of other drop-bar bikes. On everything from beat-up backroads to full-tilt singletrack, Topstone Carbon lets you get in deep & come out smiling.
Key Benefits
- Kingpin Suspension. Delivering a smooth ride without the added weight and complexity of a shock and links, Kingpin is our answer for the most demanding gravel riders. Whether you need more comfort to go long, more traction to push beyond or more give to take on the tech – Kingpin is the maintenance-free, lightweight answer to your prayers.
- Ride Brilliantly. All new Topstone Carbon models are either equipped with or ready to upgrade to our SmartSense system of rear-facing radar and intelligent running lights. It's never been easier to ride smart.
- Load Up. Roll Out. With plentiful gear and waterbottle mounts on the frame and fork, Topstone Carbon is ready to load up and go long.
- Corner like a Boss. Rail through the rough and come out smiling. Led by our OutFront steering geometry, the Topstone Carbon offers up handling that's serenely stable in the chop, and light & nimble everywhere else.
Tuned for the Rider
Our Proportional Response size-specific construction creates optimal frame stiffness and compliance for each frame size, so that every rider as the ideal ride feel and comfort of Kingpin.
Engineered Simplicity
New low-friction bushings on the Kingpin thru-axle offer smooth action, maintenancefree reliability and over 100 grams of weight savings vs the previous cartridge bearings.
Clearance and Compatibility
The new dropped chainstay design lets you run big volume tires (up to 700x45mm or 27.5x2.1", with 6mm of mud-shedding clearance on each side), all with a standard dish (nonAi) rear wheel for easy interchangeability.
Connected
An integrated wheel sensor delivers hyper-accurate speed, route and distance info while you ride, registers your bike, reminds you of needed service and more, all through the free Cannondale App.
OutFront Steering Geometry
Confident stability meets nimble agility. An extra long fork offset paired with a slack head angle keeps the steering light and lively, yet delivers unreal confidence at speed and in the rough stuff.
