The Cannondale gravel bikes are designed for those who love adventure cycling, combining efficiency on asphalt with total control on dirt roads. The gravel line of the brand is clearly distinct from road bikes and MTBs: here, the goal is to ensure versatility, comfort, and light off-road capability while maintaining a smooth and high-performance ride. The heart of the range is the Topstone family, now a benchmark in the sector.
The Topstone world is vast and designed to cover every gravel scenario:
Topstone Carbon – lightweight, performance-oriented, perfect for long distances and mixed all-road routes.
Synapse Neo – an electric version aimed at those seeking unlimited adventure, with natural assistance and optimized autonomy.
These models are ideal for bikepacking, dirt road exploration, long outings, and mixed routes where a balance between stability and speed is required.
The most iconic element of the Topstone Carbon is the Oliver Kingpin rear suspension, designed to provide up to 30mm of travel without the use of traditional shocks. This solution ensures comfort on the dirt, improved grip, and a smooth riding feel even on the roughest sections. The Kingpin technology represents an almost unique feature in the gravel market, clearly differentiating Cannondale from competitors.
Cannondale places a high emphasis on functionality:
Wide bikepacking mounts, ideal for frame, fork, and seat post bags.
Great tire clearance, allowing generous configurations in both 650b and 700c.
Stable and comfortable geometry designed to maintain safety and control even when fully loaded.
This versatility makes the Topstone one of the most suitable bikes for travel, off-road adventures, and everyday use on mixed terrains.
Topstone with or without suspension?
The suspension version Kingpin offers more comfort and control on challenging dirt; the rigid one is lighter and simpler, ideal for smooth rides and light gravel.
Which Cannondale gravel for bikepacking?
The Topstone Carbon with multiple mounts and high comfort is one of the best choices; for significant loads or long trips, the aluminum Topstone is also excellent.
Difference between Topstone Carbon and aluminum?
The Carbon is lighter, more responsive, and equipped with Kingpin; aluminum offers greater robustness and a more accessible price.
Topstone Neo: battery autonomy?
Autonomy varies depending on the motor system and the assisted mode, but generally allows for long explorations on dirt and mixed routes.
Can the Topstone be used on the road?
Absolutely: with the right tires, the Topstone rides well on asphalt while maintaining its gravel essence.
Cannondale gravel offers a wide range of customization options:
Drivetrains 1x vs 2x to choose between simplicity and a wide range of gears.
Option to install tubeless tires for improved grip and comfort.
Wide selection of gravel accessories such as fenders, bags, lights, and additional bottle holders.
