Cannondale Topstone 1 Gravel Bike - Black

The Topstone 1 sits atop of the range of alloy bikes and comes equipped with a 12-speed Shimano GRX 820/600 groupset. This is a robust groupset designed for the rigours of off-road riding. The Shimano GRX 600/400 hydraulic disc brakes pack plenty of power and perform no matter the conditions. 37c WTB Riddler TCS tyres offer a great balance of grip and low rolling resistance, so they won't hold you back on the tarmac but they still hook up on rough corners. These are mounted on WTB ST i23 rims laced to dependable, sealed cartridge-bearing Formula hubs. Touch points are well thought out too, with a Fizik saddle and comfortable flared drop bars. With clearance for tyres up to 45mm, push your own limits from the road to gravel trails whilst maintaining grip and comfort as you ride. 

This spec choice gives top-end performance with crisp shifting, powerful braking and low weight. Combine this with the excellent alloy frame, you dodge the carbon price tag for an excellent value bike. Various mounting points also provide storage opportunities so you can load up on essentials, from your work bag to camping gear for multi-day bikepacking tours. The Topstone 1 can be a commuting workhorse, a winter training bike, or a gravel adventure machine. However you use your Topstone, it's guaranteed to deliver fun and excitement all the way from the start of your ride to the finish.
