CANNONDALE TOPSTONE CARBON 5 GRAVEL BIKE 2021
Get off the beaten track and explore more on the Cannondale Topstone Carbon 4 Gravel Bike, designed to make the most of mixed surface riding. Enjoy the lightweight construction of the BallisTec carbon fibre frame and fork as you cruise over tarmac or power up loose surface climbs, while the Kingpin rear suspension system dramatically improves comfort and compliance.
With a Shimano GRX groupset, you get a gravel-specific set of components, which make a noticeable difference when riding the rough stuff. The rear derailleur features a clutch mechanism, which can be switched on to reduce chain slap when riding off-road. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mixed surfaces and puddly conditions, providing all the stopping power you need.
In terms of gearing, this Topstone comes with Cannondale OPI SpideRing crankset and sub-compact chainrings. Combined with the 11-34t cassette, you can rest assured that you have enough options for climbing any gradient or cruising along a vast stretch of tarmac. For more off-road traction, you have the option to set up your WTB 37mm tyres tubeless, as the rims and tyre combo are tubeless-ready.
