These are asking prices, not confirmed sale prices. These are a different set of listings from the headline figure above: 31 of the 65 listings state a model year, and their median is £1,400. Compare a model year below against £1,400 rather than against the all-listings median. | Model year | Median asking price | 95% confidence range | Listings | |---|---|---|---| | 2021 | £1,450 | £1,150 to £2,550 | 12 | | 2020 | £1,050 | £600 to £1,400 | 7 | The range is a 95% confidence interval on that year's median, not the spread of listing prices. Where two years' ranges overlap, the difference between those years is not established by this data. ## Sell velocity - **Demand:** medium ## Overview The Topstone is Cannondale's gravel bike and it has earned a strong following in the UK gravel scene. With 72 used listings tracked at an average price around £2,950, it offers competitive value against the Canyon Grail and Specialized Diverge. Cannondale brings their engineering focus to the gravel category with some clever features. The carbon Topstone features Kingpin rear suspension, a small pivot at the seatstay junction that allows the rear triangle to flex independently for improved comfort and traction on rough surfaces. It is a simpler and lighter solution than a full suspension system, and it works well on UK bridleways and gravel tracks. The alloy Topstone does not have Kingpin but is still a capable gravel bike. Most used Topstones sit between £1,690 and £3,520, with the carbon models commanding the higher prices. ## What it's like to ride The carbon Topstone with Kingpin feels planted and composed on loose surfaces. The rear suspension pivot adds noticeable traction on gravel and takes the edge off washboard surfaces. On tarmac, you barely notice it. The geometry is stable without feeling slow, and the bike handles well whether you are on road or off. The alloy version rides like a solid, traditional gravel bike. It lacks the Kingpin comfort but is lighter than many steel alternatives and handles predictably. Both versions take wide tyres (up to 47mm) and have plenty of mounting points for bags and bottles. ## Who it's for Gravel riders who want a bike with clever engineering. Mixed terrain commuters. Bikepackers and adventure riders. Road cyclists looking to explore off road without a mountain bike. UK riders who ride a mix of lanes, towpaths, and bridleways. ## Good points - Kingpin rear suspension (carbon models) adds traction and comfort on rough surfaces - Competitive pricing across the range - Up to 47mm tyre clearance for proper off road capability - Multiple mounting points for bikepacking - Lefty Oliver fork option on top spec models adds front suspension too ## Considerations - Kingpin is only available on carbon models. Alloy misses out - Cannondale Ai offset rear wheel on some models limits aftermarket wheel options - The Lefty Oliver fork on top models is exotic and expensive to service - Heavier than some competitors at equivalent price points ## FAQs ### What is Kingpin suspension? It is a small pivot at the junction of the seatstays and seat tube that allows the rear wheel to move independently of the front triangle. It provides about 30mm of rear wheel travel, which is enough to smooth rough gravel and improve rear tyre traction. It adds minimal weight and requires minimal maintenance. ### Is the Topstone good for road riding? With 32mm or 35mm slick tyres it makes a comfortable road bike. The geometry is slightly more relaxed than a pure road bike and the Kingpin compliance makes it pleasant on rough tarmac. It will not match a Synapse for road speed but it is versatile enough for mixed riding. ## Buying tips - Decide whether you want the carbon Kingpin version or the simpler alloy. The Kingpin adds real value on rough terrain - Check the Kingpin pivot for play or creaking on carbon models. It is a simple bearing replacement but neglect causes wear - Avoid the Lefty Oliver fork models unless you are happy with specialist servicing. Standard fork Topstones are easier to maintain - The alloy Sora or 105 equipped models are brilliant value as do everything gravel bikes - Look at tyre clearance. Make sure the previous owner has not been running tyres too wide for the frame ## Live data - **Browse listings:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/cannondale/topstone - **Sold prices:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/sold-bike-prices/cannondale/topstone - **Get a valuation:** https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/value/cannondale/topstone - **Programmatic search (MCP):** https://api.cyclesite.co.uk/api/mcp/search?brand=Cannondale&model=Topstone - **Valuation (MCP):** https://api.cyclesite.co.uk/api/mcp/valuation?brand=Cannondale&model=Topstone --- Source: [https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/cannondale/topstone](https://www.cyclesite.co.uk/bike-brands/cannondale/topstone) Cite as: Cyclesite (cyclesite.co.uk).
