Cannondale Topstone 2 1x bike 2025
Freer pedalling
An incredibly capable and versatile dirt road bike. Built to chase horizons, explore roads less travelled or speed up your commute. Simplicity meets unlimited possibilities. This Topstone is a versatile gravel grinder with the new 1x11-speed Shimano CUES U600 rear derailleur and a durable SmartForm C2 alloy frame. With several gearbox attachments and space for large tyres, it is ready for gravel-riding, bikepacking or exploring the back roads. Confidence, capability and lots of fun.
Incredibly capable
Simple, reliable and a lot of fun, the Topstone Alloy is a gravel bike made for those who love adventure and value for money. Load it up with panniers for long trips or leave it free and light: Topstone's comfort, handling and ability to adapt to anything make it the perfect partner on any road, wherever you go.
Wide-ranging capacity
The wheel passage for tyres up to 45 mm allows you to push further over rough terrain and enjoy more grip and comfort on every ride.
Easy to live with. Easy to love
Every detail on the Topstone Carbon is designed for simplicity, ease of use and compatibility. Whether you're setting off on a long ride or stretching your route to work, you'll have less downtime and more time in the saddle.
Load it up. Ride.
With numerous bottle cages and mounts on the frame and fork, Topstone Carbon is ready to be loaded and ride for a long time.
OutFront geometry
Secure stability and agile handling. An elongated fork offset combined with an open head angle keep the steering lively and easy to steer, while still offering high safety at high speeds and in rough terrain.
All-carbon fork
Light, comfortable and precise. A revamped carbon fork offers three mounting points on each stem to maximise load capacity, plus an easy wing mount so you can tackle any adventure in any conditions.
Telescopic seatpost ready
This bike is compatible with a 27.2 mm telescopic seatpost with internal cable routing, a must for a two-wheeler designed for off-road use.
