Highlights
CAAD
The manufacturing technology behind the Topstone CAAD’s lightweight, robust and sophisticated frame is Cannondale Advanced Aluminium Design. Precisely tapered and reinforced tubes, smoothed welds and clean lines ensure the premium ride quality and solid stiffness for which CAAD is renowned.
Full carbon at the front
The Topstone CAAD’s full-carbon fork ensures light, precise handling, whilst also featuring mounting points for water bottles, panniers and kit. It provides extra comfort where needed and gives the gravel bike a precise, high-performance ride – on the road and off-road.
Ready for suspension forks
The Topstone CAAD is designed to accommodate a suspension fork, including our Lefty Oliver, so you can ride with even more off-road control on the same Topstone platform if required. Same bike family. More performance at the front.
Tyre clearance
The frame and fork offer space for tyres with a measured width of up to 52 mm, with 4 mm of clearance on each side – for more grip, comfort and control on a wide variety of surfaces. The EQ models have slightly less tyre clearance due to the fitted mudguards.
OutFront steering geometry
By combining a longer fork offset with a flat steering angle, the OutFront steering geometry ensures superb stability whilst delivering crisp handling. As a result, the front end of the bike feels composed even at high speeds, is responsive in tight spaces and instils greater confidence, even on smaller frame sizes.
Countless mounting points
Water bottles, panniers, mudguards, luggage racks, lights, snacks and much more. The Topstone CAAD features mounting points on the frame and fork, allowing cyclists to equip their gravel bike in a versatile way for fast gravel riding, everyday commuting and whatever else they ride.
Everything in order
The internal cable routing and the Conceal stem create a tidy, integrated cockpit. No cable clutter, cleaner lines – and a gravel bike that looks just as good as it rides.
Ready for a kickstand
A discreet 18 mm kickstand mount with two bolt-through fixings makes the Topstone CAAD ready for everyday use in no time at all. Fit it when you need it. Leave it hidden for a tidier look.
Ready for a dynamo
The Topstone CAAD has been designed for cyclists who want to prepare their gravel bike for longer days and early morning rides in the dark. The internal dynamo cable routing through the carbon fork makes it easy to switch to integrated lighting with a clean, tidy look.
What it’s made for
Weekend gravel rides, commuting, exploration trips, everyday adventures
