    Ride Brilliantly
    On every ride, SmartSense has your back. SmartSense’s system of intelligent lights (and optional rear-facing radar) increases your visibility out on the open road and makes it easy to ride smart.

    Features

    Engineered Simplicity

    Low-friction bushings on the Kingpin thru-axle offer smooth action, maintenance-free reliability and over 100 grams of weight savings vs conventional cartridge bearings.

    Clearance and Compatibility

    The new dropped chainstay design lets you run big volume tires (up to 700x45mm or 27.5x2.1", with 6mm of mud-shedding clearance on each side), all with a standard dish rear wheel for easy interchangeability.

    Tuned for the Rider

    Our Proportional Response size-specific construction creates optimal frame stiffness and compliance for each frame size, so that every rider has the ideal ride feel and comfort of Kingpin.

    SmartSense Equipped

    Our intelligent system of running lights is powered by a single power source for total convenience. More visibility. Less pre-ride fiddling. Easily upgraded with SmartSense radar for enhanced awareness.

    OutFront Steering Geometry

    Confident stability meets nimble agility. An extra long fork offset paired with a slack head angle keeps the steering light and lively, yet delivers unreal confidence at speed and in the rough stuff.

    Connected

    An integrated wheel sensor delivers hyper-accurate speed, route and distance info while you ride, registers your bike, reminds you of needed service and more, all through the free Cannondale App.

    Dropper Ready

    Built to accept an internally-routed 27.2mm dropper seatpost, which shouldn't really be a surprise on a bike this off-road capable.

    Load Up. Roll Out.
    With plentiful gear and waterbottle mounts on the frame and fork, Topstone Carbon is ready to load up and go long.
    Corner like a Boss
    Rail through the rough and come out smiling. Led by our OutFront steering geometry, the Topstone Carbon offers up handling that's serenely stable in the chop, and light & nimble everywhere else.
