Cannondale Topstone 3 In Detail

At its core, the Topstone 3 offers its riders a remarkably lightweight SmartForm C2 Alloy frame. This construction provides not just an efficient ride, but one that easily and gracefully handles the challenges of diverse terrain, from off-road trails to city routes. As a forward-thinking feature, the frame also includes a 12x142 thru-axle, a tapered headtube, BSA threaded BBm flat mount disc, StraightShot internal cable routing, and an abundance of gear/bottle mounts.

Every good rider knows that a bike’s fork plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and stable ride. To this end, the Topstone 3 is fitted with a full carbon fork, offering three mount bosses on each leg. This maximizes cargo capacity, ensuring that you are fully equipped for any adventure, and is also designed with optimum fender capability for any weather condition.

Aligning with the Topstone 3's discernible off-road capability is the internally-routed 27.2 dropper seatpost. Its unique OutFront Steering Geometry combines confident stability with nimble agility. The extra-long fork offset, paired with a slack head angle, results in a bike that is not only light and lively in its steering but also portrays a sense of confidence while hitting high speeds or traversing unpredictable terrains.

The Riding Experience

Every terrain speaks its own language, and the Topstone 3, with its Shimano Sora 9-speed shifting technology and powerful disc brakes, makes it easy for you to interpret these languages. Rough gravel roads are transformed into comfortable pathways thanks to clearance for large 45mm tires that provide better grip and a more comfortable ride.

The Topstone 3 isn’t just about getting you to your destination, but also about ensuring you have a great time along the way. The simplicity and compatibility of its design make every ride – whether down a countryside track or along a well-worn commute – a pleasurable experience.

The sheer adaptability of the bike means it can be loaded up for a long haul or ridden light and free, serving you well in all conditions and scenarios. The bike performs confidently over various surfaces, demonstrating its durability and versatility in equal measure.
