Carbon, comfort and gravel.
The Cannondale Topstone Carbon 4 brings together a carbon frame and fork with the Kingpin suspension system and a Shimano GRX 2x10 groupset.
Model description
At its heart is the Kingpin system: a pivot at the seat tube and flexible seat stays give the rear end around 30 mm of movement. This absorbs bumps and vibrations on gravel and keeps the rear wheel on the ground without you having to worry about maintenance.
Shimano GRX with 46/30 chainrings and an 11-34 cassette gets you up every climb, and the GRX hydraulic brakes stop reliably. Mounts for fenders and luggage and the option of a dropper post make the Topstone very versatile.
