Is it all just marketing, or does the Cannondale Topstone Carbon 1 Lefty really have something to offer? And will it reveal its true gravel potential in our group test?
Lefty and KingPin suspension are cool in-house solutions for a little more compliance
Cleverly integrated light and radar thanks to SmartSense
Very balanced and composed handling
Seems restrained overall, despite its versatility

The Cannondale Topstone was already an awesome gravel bike. Now it's even lighter thanks to LAB71 carbon fiber!

Overall, the Cannondale Topstone Carbon Lefty 3 is a fun bike. Yes, a tad on the heavy side, but with some slight changes could be made lighter. Topstone Carbon Lefty 3...

Immensely capable gravel machine that will take you further off the beaten track than ever
Handling
Control
Comfort and speed
Little, but the price is high

Great fun to take almost anywhere off-road, but lacks overall versatility that defines a true gravel bike
Superb front suspension
Retains performance feel
Clean aesthetic
Suspension adds weight and cost
