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 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

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

Go-anywhere gravel bike with on-road manners
Fun, inspiring handling
Comfort via Cannondale's Kingpin suspension
Integrated lights for road riding or commuting
Integrated lights aren’t to everyone’s taste or powerful enough for off-road riding

I tested the Topstone with a Lefty Oliver fork while road riding, gravel cycling, and underbiking around Aspen, Colorado.

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...
