Cannondale Topstone Apex 1

Topstone is pure gravel goodness. With its high-volume tires, confident rider position and sporty handling, it is ready to smash out big miles on the backroads, explore routes less traveled, or smooth out the chop on your morning commute. Cannondale's decades of aluminum expertise deliver a frame that's light, efficient and oh-so-smooth, while a full carbon fork with tapered steerer and a 12mm thru-axle provides light, comfortable and precise-steering front end. Topstone shares similar stack and reach measurements with Cannondale's Synapse endurance bikes, for a confident and sporty riding position. A slack head angle paired with a long 55mm fork rake delivers great stability at speed and great agility where needed. Just what you need for mixed-surface confidence or multi-day adventures. It's built with plenty of room for tires up to 42mm wide, for comfort, grip, and adventurous capability. With mounts for three water bottles, plus mounts for top tube storage, Topstone is ready to go long. Multiple bottle cage positions on the downtube mount let you configure for big frame bags. The removable fender bridge bolts on when you want fenders and disappears when you don't.
