Cannondale Topstone Carbon 3 GRX 2x

The Cannondale Topstone Carbon 3 GRX 2x is an advanced gravel bike engineered 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 provides up to 30mm of smooth travel at the rear wheel, without the weight or complexity of traditional shocks 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 (two-by) setup offers smaller jumps between gears and a wider overall range than a 1x system, which is ideal for finding the perfect cadence on both steep climbs and fast descents. The GRX groupset is purpose-built for gravel, ensuring reliability and crisp shifting performance. Furthermore, the hydraulic GRX 600 disc brakes provide powerful and easily modulated stopping 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 bottles, and fenders. The frame offers generous tire clearance (delivered standard with 700x37c tires) for extra grip and comfort. Additionally, the bike is 'SmartSense-compatible', meaning you can easily add Cannondale's integrated lighting and radar system for unparalleled safety and awareness.
