The Topstone Carbon is Cannondale’s carbon gravel bike and this version 3 has a 12-speed Shimano GRX groupset with a single 40-tooth chainring, like the Canyon Grizl CF 7 ESC, and a very wide 10-51 cassette.
It differs from the Grizl in one important detail: the KingPin rear suspension, a pivot at the seat tube that gives up to 30 mm of travel to smooth out rough terrain. In return it keeps what matters for travel: a StashPort compartment under the down-tube bottle cage with its bag, mounts on frame and fork, and room for tyres up to 52 mm with a single chainring.
A higher version of the family, the Topstone Carbon 4, appears among the Badlands 2025 bikes according to bikepacking.com. The data are from Cannondale’s official sheet checked on 13 November 2026 (MY25 model); the Spanish website shows neither price nor weight, so we leave them blank until confirmed.
