Cannondale Topstone 1 Bike 2023 Mercury, L

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I love the Topstone 1 for long gravel days where comfort and speed both matter. The SmartForm alloy frame feels light and responsive, while the carbon fork takes the sting out of washboard roads. Shimano's GRX groupset is made for rough conditions, and this bike really shines on anything from fast dirt to loose corners.""We roll farther with more confidence aboard the Topstone 1 Bike 2023. Cannondale gave this gravel machine a lightweight SmartForm C2 Alloy frame that’s designed for durability, stability, and all-day comfort. Paired with a full carbon fork, the ride stays calm and responsive even when the road gets chaotic—whether that’s crushed gravel or a forgotten fire road. A mixed Shimano GRX 800/600 11-speed drivetrain keeps shifting crisp and controlled under load, while GRX 400 hydraulic brakes handle descents and rough weather without missing a beat. Cannondale’s geometry strikes the perfect balance between comfort and speed, while the vibration-damping cockpit smooths out long rides. The Topstone 1 is our go-to for mixed-surface epics, gravel exploration, and rugged routes beyond the tarmac. 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."
