Cannondale Topstone Lineup
The Topstone series offers a clearly structured range of models. Your choice between a lightweight carbon frame with KingPin rear suspension and an extra robust aluminum frame without suspension depends on how you plan to ride. If you prefer sporty after-work tours or bikepacking events, we recommend the carbon version. If you value robustness for ultra-long distances, daily use, and occasional cross-country tours, the aluminum version is the right choice. Additionally, the Topstone models offer you – depending on the model designation – a coordinated package of drivetrain, suspension, and components. The number in the model name indicates the equipment level. The lower the number, the higher quality the components.
