Cannondale Topstone CAAD 3 CUES Flat Bar

Cannondale Topstone CAAD 3 CUES Flat Bar

Gravel versatility without the drop bar: the Cannondale Topstone CAAD 3 CUES Flat Bar combines the capable platform of the Topstone family with a straight handlebar for intuitive and controlled handling. It's an exciting alternative for riders who want to explore pavement, gravel and forest tracks while preferring a traditional flat-bar riding position. The SmartForm C1 aluminum frame and full-carbon fork provide a high-quality foundation. The carbon fork delivers precise handling while helping to reduce vibrations when the surface gets rough.

Flat Bar – control meets comfort

The 740 mm Cannondale 3 Riser handlebar gives this Topstone its distinctive character. Its wide position provides plenty of control and direct steering – particularly useful in urban traffic, on winding gravel roads and through slower, more technical sections.
The result combines the versatility of a gravel bike with a familiar riding experience inspired by trekking and mountain bikes.

Shimano CUES 1x10 – simple and dependable

The mechanical Shimano CUES 1x10 drivetrain keeps things straightforward. A 40-tooth chainring paired with a wide-range 11–48 cassette provides versatile gearing for flat roads, gravel tracks and longer climbs. Shimano CUES UR300 hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable, well-controlled stopping power, whether you're commuting through the city or descending quickly on gravel.

Wide tires for more freedom

With 45 mm WTB Riddler Comp tires, the Topstone is ready for constantly changing surfaces. Their generous volume provides grip, comfort and control on unpaved roads while remaining efficient enough for riding on pavement.
The frame also accommodates 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 comfort and traction for rougher terrain.

One bike for everyday rides and adventures

Multiple mounting points for bottles, fenders, luggage and additional accessories make it easy to adapt the Topstone to your plans. The wheels are also tubeless ready.

From fast commutes and relaxed weekend tours to gravel adventures, the Topstone CAAD 3 CUES Flat Bar is a versatile choice for riders who want gravel capability combined with simple, confidence-inspiring flat-bar handling.
