Cannondale Topstone 2 1x Gravel Bike - 2025

Built for long days on rough ground, the Cannondale Topstone 2 1x delivers precise handling, confident control, and versatile performance. With a lightweight alloy frame, a responsive carbon fork, and generous tyre clearance, it’s designed to handle mixed terrain with ease. This bike combines strength, comfort, and functionality to help you go further, faster, and with greater confidence.

Key Features and Benefits:

• SmartForm C2 Alloy frame with 45mm tyre clearance: This frame is lightweight yet strong, with room for wide tyres. Wider tyres improve grip and absorb shock on loose or uneven surfaces. The result is better traction and a more comfortable ride on rough terrain.
• Topstone Carbon fork with long 55mm offset and triple mounts: The carbon fork reduces weight and improves shock absorption. The longer offset enhances steering stability on descents and tight turns. Combined with three mounting points per leg, it offers more storage and better control.
• Shimano CUES U6000 11-speed groupset with U6030 hydraulic disc brakes: This system delivers smooth, reliable shifting across a wide gear range. The hydraulic brakes provide strong, consistent stopping power in all weather. You get precise control on climbs, descents, and variable surfaces.
• GXD 1.0 tubeless-ready rims with WTB Riddler 700x37c tyres: The wheelset is built for durability and low rolling resistance. Tubeless-ready tyres reduce flats and can be run at lower pressures. This improves grip and comfort without sacrificing speed.
• Dropper seatpost compatibility with internal cable routing: The frame accepts a 27.2mm dropper post with clean, internal routing. This allows the rider to lower the saddle for descents. The outcome is better handling and safer control on steep or technical terrain.
• Cannondale 3 flared alloy handlebar and seatpost: The flared drop bars give added control on loose ground, while the sturdy alloy post provides a stable, secure ride feel. Together, they support confident handling in all conditions.

A key priority for many riders is control on unpredictable ground. This bike delivers that with a combination of stable geometry, wide tyre clearance, and a carbon fork that balances stiffness with comfort. The Shimano drivetrain offers smooth, responsive shifting on climbs and descents. The brake system and dropper post compatibility help you stay in control when conditions shift. Together, these features support confident riding across mixed terrain.

Ride-ready and built for serious gravel use, the Topstone 2 1x combines smart engineering with practical features. It’s a reliable partner for riders looking to go further and ride more varied routes with comfort and control.
