KingPin suspension
KingPin ensures appropriate flex and comfort on the rear wheel without having to accept the additional weight and complexity of the damper and rocker arms. The KingPin rear suspension is our answer for the most demanding gravel bikers. Do you want more comfort for extended tours, more traction in every situation, or more safety in technically demanding passages? - Then KingPin is just right for you!

Ready for luggage
With its many attachment points for equipment and bottle cages on the frame and fork, the Topstone Carbon is ready for any transport tasks as well as long distances.

Saturated cornering
Drives through the terrain like it's on rails and puts a big grin on your face. When it comes to handling, the Topstone Carbon benefits from our OutFront steering geometry, which ensures stability on rough terrain and guarantees agile and playful handling on light terrain.

PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE CONSTRUCTION
Suspension and driving experience specifically adapted to each frame size. We use the carbon layup and tube diameters to achieve just the right level of stiffness and flex for every type of rider. All you have to do is get on and ride. No setup, extremely low maintenance and still a level of comfortable, pothole-eating off-road capability you've never experienced on a racing bike.

IT HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER TO RIDE HARDER
Improved geometry and seating position for a safe, relaxed and comfortable driving experience that still sparkles with driving pleasure. Go further and longer and faster!

DOWN TO THE SMALLEST DETAIL
We have thought of everything. Lots of tire clearance for wide tires. Tons of attachment points for gear and luggage. Speed ​​release thru axles. DirectLine cable routing. Suitable for telescopic supports with internal cables. In short: the complete package.

IN LINE
An integrated wheel sensor provides extremely accurate speed, route and distance values, helps you register your bike, reminds you of service intervals and more - all via the free Cannondale app.

Massive tire clearance
Standard with wide 700 x 38C tires for grip and comfort and space for up to 40 millimeters. If you like short and fat, you can even mount 48 millimeter wide tires on 650b.

Due to the many attachment points for gear and water bottles (including mounting eyes on the inside and outside of the fork legs), compatibility with a telescopic seat post with internal cable routing, speed release thru axles and generous tire clearance for wide tires (40 mm with plenty of tire clearance), the Topstone Carbon is for ready for big adventures, no matter where the road leads.
