A gravel bike with real suspension, the Cannondale Topstone Carbon Ultegra RX 2 is a machine that's equal parts capable off-road and comfortable on-road. More give, more go.
- Shimano Ultegra RX 2 x 11 mechanical drivetrain uses a clutch design that cuts chain chatter and maintains crisp, accurate shifting over bumpy ground
- Hydraulic disc brakes offer excellent stopping power on any terrain
- Lightweight KingPin suspension system lets you ride harder on dirt and more smoothly on pavement, giving you better control, traction and comfort
- KingPin system provides up to 30 mm of travel at the saddle thanks to a thru-axle pivot joining the seatstays and seat tube
- Flex zones in the chainstays, seat tube and top tube offer compliance at the saddle and added absorption at the rear axle
- Comes with big 700c x 37 mm tires for grip and comfort, but fits up to 700c x 40 mm tires thanks to a roomy design with tons of clearance
- Also fits smaller 650b wheels with up to 48 mm wide tires for riders who are looking for maximum flotation
- Store gear and water with multiposition mounts on the down tube, top tube, seat tube and under the down tube—there are even mounts on the fork
- Fully fender ready; a removable fender bridge on the rear stays is there when you need it and gone when you don't
- Speed Release thru axles offer the stiffness and solid feel of a thru axle with the easy use of a quick-release axle; compatible with most thru-axle wheelsets
- Direct Line internal cable routing guides the cable and housing through the frame using an internal tube from entry to exit for headache-free service
- Refined geometry and rider position deliver an experience that's stable, composed and comfortable without losing that spark
- Built to accept an internally-routed 27.2 mm dropper seatpost (not included)
- Balanced riding position is upright enough for comfort over the long haul and control for technical off-road terrain, yet still low and forward enough for speedy efficiency
- OutFront steering geometry keeps the steering light and agile, while positioning the wheel farther in front of the rider for stability and confidence on rougher stuff
- An integrated wheel sensor delivers hyperaccurate speed, route and distance info, bike registration, service reminders and more—all through the free Cannondale app
- Suspension and overall frame ride-feel is custom-tuned by size using different carbon layup and tube dimensions
- Pedals not included
- Closeout

- Stack Stack is the vertical distance from the center of the cranks to the center of the head tube, measured to the top of the head tube.
- Effective Top Tube Effective top tube is the distance from the center of the head tube to the center of the seat tube/seat post, measured parallel to the ground.
- Seat Tube Center to Top Seat Tube length is the measurement of the seat tube, from the center of the cranks to the top of the seat tube.
- Head Tube Length Head Tube Length is measured from the bottom to the top of the head tube.
- Head Tube Angle Head Tube Angle is the acute angle between the head tube and the ground (measured towards the rear of the bike)
- Seat Tube Angle Seat Tube Angle is the acute angle between the seat tube and the ground (measured towards the rear of the bike).
- Bottom Bracket Height Bottom Bracket Height is a measurement taken vertically from the ground up to the center of the cranks.
