【Used】【2023 Model】Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 Lefty | Innovative Full-Suspension Gravel Bike for Unpaved Roads
The KingPin suspension and Lefty Oliver create unparalleled rideability and comfort.
Smoothly ride on paved roads and then effortlessly transition onto forest trails and gravel. The Cannondale Topstone Carbon 2 Lefty achieves this level of freedom in riding style with exceptional quality.
It features an innovative design combining a full carbon frame with Cannondale's unique rear suspension system, "KingPin Suspension," and the gravel-specific single-sided suspension fork, "Lefty Oliver." This setup delivers excellent road-holding performance and comfort even on rough surfaces, without sacrificing the light acceleration feel of a road bike.
The KingPin structure, which allows the entire rear triangle to flex, achieves both vibration absorption and light weight without complex linkages. Furthermore, the 30mm travel of the Lefty Oliver smoothly absorbs minor bumps, reducing rider fatigue during long gravel rides.
Equipped as standard with SHIMANO GRX800 1x11 speed components, hydraulic disc brakes, and a dropper seatpost, this high-spec bike is versatile enough for gravel races, bikepacking, and adventure rides.
