Cannondale Topstone

The Cannondale Topstone is a gravel/adventure bike, but it also makes for a great commuter steed, and isn't afraid of loading up on some training miles.

A generous selection of mounting points for bottles, bags, racks and mudguards make this a bike ready for anything. This build has been upgraded with a Quarq power meter so that no effort will be wasted whether training, commuting or exploring.

The aluminium frame and carbon forks are a tried and tested combination giving superb value for money and, with Cannondale's alu expertise and a relaxed geometry, a great deal of comfort.

Not a race bike, maybe, but a valuable addition to the stable that will happily deal with any weather and is versatile enough to fill a variety of roles.
