Cannondale Topstone CAAD 3 CUES 1X

One bike, countless possibilities: the Cannondale Topstone CAAD 3 CUES 1x feels just as comfortable on gravel as it does on pavement, forest tracks or everyday rides around town. At its heart is Cannondale's proven SmartForm C1 aluminum frame, combining stable handling with an agile ride feel. A full-carbon fork adds precise steering and extra comfort when the surface gets rough.

Shimano CUES 1x10 – less complexity, more riding

The mechanical Shimano CUES 1x10 drivetrain keeps the setup refreshingly simple. With a single chainring, there's no front derailleur to worry about, while the combination of a 40-tooth chainring and wide-range 11–48 cassette provides plenty of gearing for varied terrain. It's a straightforward solution for riders who simply want to get out and ride.
Shimano CUES RS405 hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable and controlled stopping performance in both dry and wet conditions.

45 mm WTB tires for comfort and control

Wide tires are an essential part of a modern gravel bike, and the Topstone CAAD 3 comes equipped with 45 mm WTB Riddler Comp tires. They provide plenty of grip and comfort on gravel and unpaved roads while remaining efficient on firmer surfaces. Generous tire clearance opens up even more possibilities: the frame can accommodate tires with a measured width of up to 52 mm while maintaining 4 mm of clearance on each side. This gives you the option to add even more grip, comfort and control for rougher terrain.

Ready for everyday rides, touring and adventure

Multiple mounting points for bottle cages, luggage, fenders and additional accessories make it easy to adapt the Topstone to different types of riding. The wheels are also tubeless ready, providing a solid foundation for future upgrades.

Whether you're heading out on your first gravel adventure, commuting to work or planning a long weekend ride, the Topstone CAAD 3 CUES 1x is a straightforward all-rounder built to keep going when the pavement ends.
