Cannondale's Topstone 1 Alloy gravel bike cuts the cost of entry into one of cycling's fastest growing segments, offering a value gravel bike option for those keen to enjoy light off-road trails on a machine that still feels fast enough on the tarmac.
The ideal gravel bike is nimble on the road, and can tackle both light gravel and fire roads as well as more technical terrain. The Topstone 1 was capable of all three, but the aluminium frame and seat post, paired with dry-weather tyres, held it back on the more technical sections, whilst it's more stable geometry meant it feels more like a commuter on the tarmac.
