Cannondale Topstone Carbon 3

£3,200.00

The Topstone is Cannondale’s all out gravel bike range, covering single and dual suspension, carbon and aluminium frame options.

The Topstone Carbon 2 is the next iteration in the range boasting the full carbon frame and rigid fork, the KingPin suspension seatstay pivot system creating 30mm of travel – read backside comfort - in the rear end. The Carbon 2 focus is more rounded, less aggressive on the gravel racing front than the Lefty equipped versions, but superbly equipped for more than your average day out. With larger 700c wheels it will feel easier on the tarmac while the suspension and fat tyres will smooth out the off road parts of your ride. Finished with the best of the Shimano GRX componentry, dual 40/36t crank, 11-34t 11 speed cassette, hydraulic brakes and tubless ready set up, just add luggage and away you go.

Hollowgram and SAVE technologies

The evolution of the revolution. 13 years ago, the original Cannondale HollowGram crank started the BB30 revolution and set a new standard for ultra-light, super-stiff cranks. These hollow cranks are created by bonding together two machined, heat-treated clamshell halves with a super-strong anaerobic bonding agent. Extensive FEA modeling and physical testing have allowed Cannondale to refine the internal and external shapes for the ultimate in stiffness-to-weight. The results is a crank light and stiff enough for the top road race machines but still so tough, it is used on their mountain bikes as well.

SAVE is not strictly a technology per se, but more of a manufacturing approach – by manipulating the composition and material of their frames and components in certain areas, Cannondale claim that SAVE can enhance frame compliance (comfort) without sacrificing rigidity and performance.This Topstone Carbon 2 has SAVE technology in the Seat Post and Seat Tube. SAVE seat tubes have a sloping design that is designed to help smooth rides in concert with Cannondale’s smaller diameter SAVE seatposts.
