Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 Lefty Gravel Bike The Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 Lefty Gravel Bike is well-equipped for the exploration of rougher terrain. Lefty Oliver is a suspension fork aimed at gravel riding; offering 30mm of front travel and a single-sided design for incredibly precise steering and control. Paired with Kingpin suspension in the rear; compliance and shock-absorption are excellent; reducing fatigue for more speed over bumpy; rocky trails. OutFront Steering Geometry makes the bike feel stable yet nimble and every frame size has a Proportional Response construction; which means there are no compromises to handling or ride feel for the smallest or largest sizes. The Shimano GRX drivetrain is gravel-specific; in a 1x configuration. A Dynamic Chain Engagement tooth profile to the chainring; along with a clutch on the rear derailleur; prevents the chain from bouncing off when it’s particularly rough. There’s a wide-ranging cassette to help you up the steepest hills; and hydraulic disc brakes deliver confidence-inspiring power at speed. WTB KOM Light wheels are paired with wide 44c WTB Raddler TCS Light tyres; and they’re tubeless-ready so you can reap the benefits of running lower tyre pressures. A Cannondale Wheel Sensor gives you access to route; speed and distance information via the free associated app. Please note: Tools and accessories pictured in StrapRack tool holder are not included.
