Summary
The Cannondale Topstone is a versatile gravel bike praised for its balanced handling and superb comfort, making it excellent for technical terrain. It features proprietary suspension like the Lefty fork and Kingpin rear system, offering a smooth ride with some limitations on adjustability. However, it is noted for being an evolution rather than a revolution, with a high price point and maintenance considerations for the Lefty fork.

A carbon frame gravel bike with high-end components and sram rival hydraulic disc brakes.
Kingpin suspension improves comfort and handling with minimal weight penalty
Slack head tube angle, dialed suspension, and upright riding position open up possibilities on single track
Does a great job balancing confidence/capability on technical terrain without sacrificing an energetic/responsive ride feel
Lefty Oliver fork is heavy and has inherent compatibility issues
Riders who prefer more traditional road-inspired geometry may find riding position too relaxed

It doesn't matter the label on it, the Cannondale Topstone Lefty is the gravel race bike you actually need.

You really don’t need full-suspension to ride gravel roads, but the all-new Cannondale Topstone Carbon shows that maybe a suspension fork and simple rear travel…

The new 2025 Topstone Carbon delivers a class-leading technical-terrain gravel ride, but are the small updates enough to justify an upgrade?
Extremely balanced handling
Superb comfort
Great control over technical terrain
Udh dropouts
Stash port
Big tyre clearance
Not enough of an upgrade over the current bike to justify a change

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
May 2023 · Sam Challis
The Cannondale Topstone 2 L is the second version of the brand’s general-remit gravel bike. Cannondale has the SuperSix Evo
Kingpin creates comfort without complication
Confident handling
Solid spec
Modifiable design
Weight
Messy front end cable routing
Debatable application of SmartSense

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...
