Topstone 3 700C Gravel Bike 2021

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used the Topstone 3 as a daily commuter and for long gravel tours, and it holds up incredibly well. The SmartForm C2 alloy keeps it light without compromising stability, and the full carbon fork helps absorb chatter when riding on mixed surfaces. Shimano Sora’s 2x9 setup is smooth and reliable for climbing and descending on a variety of terrain."

We ride the Topstone 3 700c Gravel Bike when we’re looking to wander further and ride freer. Built by Cannondale with a lively and efficient SmartForm C2 Alloy frame, the Topstone 3 encourages us to explore routes we’ve never considered before—gravel backroads, quiet paths, or even rugged alleys on the way to work. Paired with a vibration-damping carbon fork, the ride feels comfortable and nimble without losing efficiency.

Shimano's Sora drivetrain gives us 18 gear options to keep pace whether we're climbing or cruising, while Promax Decoder mechanical disc brakes deliver confident stopping power in variable weather. Wide 37mm tires smooth out rough terrain, and the flared drop handlebar adds off-road control for more technical riding. With plenty of mounts for gear and bottles, it's the kind of bike we’ll ride deep into the season—and deep into the unknown.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
