Gravel with an upright position
The Topstone CAAD 3 CUES Flat Bar pairs the Topstone CAAD gravel frame with a wide riser bar. The upright position and direct control make it a versatile bike for everyday riding, commuting and gravel roads.
Model Description
It is built on the SmartForm C1 alloy frame with a Topstone carbon fork, internal cable routing, UDH and plenty of mounts for a rack, fenders, bags and bottles. The 740 mm riser bar with silicone grips gives a relaxed position and plenty of control on loose ground. The Shimano CUES 1x10 drivetrain with trigger shifter, 40T chainring and 11-48 cassette is easy to use and offers low gears for steep pitches. Hydraulic disc brakes and 45 mm WTB Riddler tires deliver reliable braking and grip on pavement, gravel and forest trails.
