Topstone Carbon

An unprecedented gravel bike with real suspension. It's the most off-road capable and on-road comfortable road bike ever made.

Topstone Carbon distills our experience making fast race bikes, comfortable endurance bikes and ultra-light dual suspension mountain bikes into an exceptional machine, designed for maximum fun in places beyond most gravel bikes' abilities, or maximum comfort in more ordinary terrain.

Kingpin Suspension.

Revolutionary, super-light suspension that lets you ride harder on dirt and more smoothly on pavement.

A thru-axle pivot in the seat tube allows the entire back of the frame – the rear stays, seat tube, even the rear of the top tube – to flex like a series of connected leaf-springs, absorbing bumps and road vibration without the weight and complexity of a shock and linkages.

Incredibly light and robust, it gives you up to 30mm of suspension (deflection at the seat and rear axle combined) that improves comfort, traction and control whether you’re seated or standing, letting you roll smoother or push it harder than ever.

KINGPIN MEETS PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE

Topstone Carbon Lefty 3

EXPLORE

All new, Lefty Oliver

Engineered from the ground up for pure gravel performance, Lefty Oliver offers up 30mm of bump-smoothing travel. Crisp and efficient on the smooth stuff. Smooth and composed on the rough stuff. Unwaveringly precise everywhere. It’s a whole new level of comfort and control.

It had to happen. We paired our proven, super-light and effortlessly simple Kingpin rear suspension system with our cutting-edge built-for-gravel Lefty Oliver suspension fork to create the ultimate on-road, off-road, no-road, road bike.

What is
Proportional
Response?Suspension and overall ride-feel are custom tuned by size, using different carbon layup and tube dimensions, meaning that each size has perfect suspension response and ideal frame stiffness. No setup, no hassle. Just get on and go. Proportional Response and Kingpin Suspension function in harmony to provide an ultra-smooth ride and confident traction for every size of bike, and rider.

All the Gear

Plenty of places to store gear and water, with a multi-position mount on the downtube, and more on the top tube, seat tube, and under the down tube. The non-Lefty models even have mounts on the fork.

“holy shit, it was by far the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I had no idea what I was getting in to.”

Topstone Carbon | Three Bikes in One

PLAY FILM

Smoother Ride, Swifter Pace

With KingPin and Lefty Oliver, Cannondale brings rough-stuff-smoothing suspension to gravel like nobody else. Better confidence and more control means getting somewhere new a whole lot quicker. If you thought suspension was just for MTBs, think again.

Easy To Live With

Responsibly designed, so you can ride it irresponsibly. Everything on Topstone Carbon is there for simplicity and compatibility. Threaded Bottom Bracket? Check. Standard external seat binder? Check. Zero to low maintenance suspension? Check. Less down time, more ride time. Easy.

Bring It All

Designed to move and built to carry. Our all-new StashPort downtube storage system and StashBag bring your tools/essentials/whatever along for the ride in stealthy, secure comfort. Meanwhile, multiple mounting points make this the bikepacking bomb.

Guaranteed Awesomeness

We thrash the hell out of it. We torture test it. We give it to our pro athletes to use, abuse and critique. Then, once we’re happy, we’re ready to stand by it. So we deliver it with a lifetime warranty. And so you get peace of mind included.
