Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 AXS SmartSense
The Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 AXS SmartSense is our take on the ultimate all-round gravel bike. Go anywhere, bring everything, and keep on going. A true standout in the gravel world, it gives you everything you need for gravel riding and racing, bikepacking, singletrack exploration, and getting after it beyond the pavement's end.
At the core of the Topstone Carbon 2 is a lightweight full carbon frame featuring Cannondale's maintenance-free KingPin rear suspension. This innovative system delivers up to 30mm of bump-smoothing travel, providing a smoother ride and more traction to push harder without compromising stiffness for the sprint. The real magic, however, lies in its seamless integration of SmartSense Gen 2 technology, which powers sleekly integrated lights, rear-facing radar, and SRAM AXS shifting from a single downtube battery. Finished with a blended SRAM Apex AXS / GX Eagle AXS wide-range wireless drivetrain, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and a light and fast wheelset with WTB KOM Team rims, this gravel bike is brilliant on pavement, gravel, or anywhere in between. Go long, explore more, chase sunsets, get home happy.
