Cannondale Topstone CAAD EQ 2027 Black

CANNONDALE TOPSTONE CAAD EQ 2027 BLACK

The Topstone CAAD EQ 2027 brings Cannondale’s gravel platform to everyday riding. Its SmartForm C1 aluminium frame and carbon fork are paired with equipment for commuting, errands and routes that combine tarmac and gravel with luggage.

It includes a dynamo-powered Herrmans MR9 front light and H-Trace rear light, Curana Apollo mudguards and a Tubus rear carrier rated for 20 kg. Shimano CUES 1x11 gearing pairs a 40-tooth chainring with an 11-50 cassette. WTB Vulpine 40 mm tyres and CUES U6030 hydraulic brakes complete a bike equipped to alternate daily journeys with gravel outings.

OutFront steering geometry combines a 55 mm fork offset with a relaxed head angle for stability on gravel and responsive handling. The frame uses a UDH hanger, a threaded 68 mm BSA bottom bracket and a 27.2 mm seatpost. Multiple mounting points make it easy to adapt the bike for daily journeys, gravel rides and trips with luggage. On this EQ version, the fitted mudguards reduce the available tyre clearance compared with models without mudguards.
