Topstone 1 Bike 2023

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve put over 500 miles on this bike across gravel, singletrack, and paved paths. It feels stable at speed and doesn’t beat me up on longer rides. The GRX components deliver consistent performance, and the geometry strikes a nice balance for endurance or spirited efforts. This bike punches way above its price point."

Cannondale’s Topstone 1 Bike 2023 is built to go the distance with a frame that’s as responsive as it is rugged. The SmartForm C2 Alloy chassis offers race-ready stiffness where it counts and compliance where it matters, keeping the ride comfortable without sacrificing efficiency. A full carbon fork helps tame rough terrain and improves handling by reducing front-end weight and vibration.

The drivetrain mixes Shimano GRX 800 and 600 components across an 11-speed setup tailored for gravel. Shifting remains precise under stress, and the GRX 400 hydraulic disc brakes inspire confidence when braking in technical or loose conditions. With wide tire clearance, bottle and gear mounts, and internal routing, the Topstone 1 is fully equipped for gravel racing, weekend touring, or high-speed bikepacking adventures.

This platform is ideal for riders seeking a performance gravel bike that’s ready for everything—from local dirt loops to full backcountry tours.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
