Cannondale Topstone CAAD Lefty

More comfort, more control, more possibilities: the Cannondale Topstone CAAD Lefty is a versatile gravel bike for riders who refuse to let rough pavement or challenging gravel roads slow them down. Its lightweight SmartForm C1 aluminum frame combines sporty gravel geometry with everyday versatility and plenty of mounting options for luggage, fenders and accessories.

Lefty Oliver – 40 mm of added control

The standout feature is the distinctive Lefty Oliver suspension fork. With 40 mm of travel, a lockout and gravel-specific damping, it smooths out rough terrain while providing additional traction and control. This gives the Topstone impressive confidence on terrain where conventional gravel bikes can start to reach their limits.

Shimano GRX 1x12 – ready for gravel adventures

The mechanical Shimano GRX 1x12 drivetrain delivers a simple, robust setup developed specifically for gravel riding. A 40-tooth chainring combined with a wide-range 10–51 cassette provides plenty of gearing for everything from fast sections to steep climbs. Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, predictable and well-controlled stopping performance.

45 mm tires for grip and comfort

The 45 mm WTB Vulpine TCS Light tires deliver an excellent balance of speed, grip and comfort. Combined with the tubeless-ready WTB ST i25 TCS 2.0 wheels, they create a setup that rolls efficiently on pavement while offering plenty of confidence on gravel, forest tracks and more demanding terrain.

Maximum tire clearance for even more versatility

With maximum tire clearance of up to 52 mm, the Topstone CAAD  gives you plenty of room for an even more capable off-road setup. The frame accommodates tires with a measured width of up to 52 mm while maintaining 4 mm of clearance on each side. This allows you to run wider tires for even more grip, comfort and control across a wide variety of surfaces.

The Cannondale Topstone CAAD Lefty is an excellent choice for riders looking for a distinctive and highly versatile gravel bike – from fast after-work rides to big adventures far beyond paved roads.
