We’ll start by saying that we didn’t anticipate our top gravel bike pick being an aluminum-frame rig, but the Cannondale Topstone 1’s versatility, smart build, and competitive price tag won us over. In terms of design, the Topstone features the kind of premium aluminum frame that the brand is known for, a gravel-specific Shimano GRX drivetrain complete with hydraulic disc brakes, and appropriately wide wheels for soaking up bumps. Its balanced geometry also hits a nice sweet spot of responsiveness for climbs and road riding with a relaxed and confidence-inspiring feel on the descents. The cherry on top: the mid-range “1” manages to undercut much of the competition in price at a reasonable $2,150. From weekend gravel rides to daily commutes, the Cannondale Topstone is an excellent option.

The aluminum frame doesn't come without compromises, however. At about 22.5 pounds, the Topstone certainly isn't the lightest gravel bike on the market and likely won't be the first choice of speed-focused riders (if this sounds like you, the extra $450 for the carbon Giant Revolt Advanced 2 below might be worth it). And we’d like to see higher-quality rubber that’s tubeless-ready (they recently switched the tires to Vittoria from WTB’s Riddler, which leads us to believe it was a supply issue). However, these are relatively small nitpicks about an otherwise impressive all-around gravel bike. It’s worth noting that Cannondale also offers the Topstone Carbon with a lighter frame and their minimalist Kingpin rear suspension that helps cushion harsh impacts.See the Cannondale Topstone 1

I just got a Cannondale Topstone 1 (alloy frame) in October for just this reason. I can definitely recommend it - it feels like a road bike but the geometry is definitely more relaxed has better handling in snow and weather.

Hi all,

Looking to get a new bike for my wife. She recently got a job closer to home and has been commuting to work, but it's been on her way-too-aggressive older carbon/rim brake road bike that she hates anyway.

I'm looking to get her a new commuter that is more comfortable, that then can also be used for other riding. She rides so infrequently because the bike she has is uncomfortably aggressive. 

Ideal bike is something that fenders and rear panniers can go on with drop bars and a relaxed geometry. My guess is this puts us in the gravel category exclusively. We also have aspirations to do some light credit card touring together. She is only 5'0", so small sizes are a plus.

Cannondale's Topstone is an attractive choice but may be a stretch for sizing. All-City's Space Horse looks great as well, but it seems like they make so few of the two very small sizes and I'm not sure how easy it would be to actually find one.

Our local shop deals Cannondale, Specialized, and Kona, with another well-respected shop nearby dealing Trek - but we're in Western Massachusetts and can find most brands within an hour drive. Would definitely want to test ride something before buying.

 or you can get a two by ten or a one by ten or a two by eleven uh, 105 group set. Some of the companies that are doing the 105s are switching straight over to the Grx. Uh, because it's gravel specific. So no point in putting a road bike specific group set on a bike that people are going to be using off-road So that's driving the price point up here

 Rather than some of these other bikes where they come in 52s, 54s, 56s, 58s, it can be a little bit harder to determine what the right size is for you. Now you can always go onto 99spokes.com and type in the bikes of interest that you're looking to buy and compare their geometry, their standover height, their head tube angles, their bottom bracket heights, and compare the geometries to figure out if they're similar or vastly different from bikes that you currently own. So you can help better understand if this geometry in this frame, shape and size is right for you

Cannondale Topstone 1 Gravel Bike Review (Likes/Dislikes)

 If you’re in the market for more of a race-oriented model, we really like Giant’s Revolt Advanced 2. With the Giant, you get a lightweight carbon fiber frame, the same high-performing Shimano 105 drivetrain as the Topstone, and generous tire clearance for large rubber. Further, the Revolt Advanced 2 features a rubber chain stay and down tube protectors to ward off rocks and debris. The $2,450 Giant is certainly harder on the wallet than the $1,750 Cannondale, but it’s difficult to argue with the bike’s carbon frame and race-oriented build

 And again, it was well-equipped for the job. While not particularly quick, the bike was easy to maneuver in traffic and along city streets, and its riding position was quite comfortable. Further, the fender mounts are a great match for wet-weather commutes, and the bike’s rack compatibility works well for those who use traditional panniers. To be clear, the Topstone 105 lacks the explosiveness and nimble feel of a dedicated road bike, but the balanced riding position and smart frame features add to its versatility

 Both are solid values, but the Topstone strikes us as the better buy. Editor’s note: We usually provide a live price comparison table below our outdoor gear reviews, but at the time of publishing the Topstone 105 is only available nationwide at REI Co-op. You can see the Cannondale Topstone 105 page here and support us in the process. Thanks!

 The rear cassette is a Sun race at 11:34 and the front chainrings is where things are actually pretty interesting, but in a good way. Expect that with a FSA crank set which has a chain ring combo of 46 30 and I Totally love that Salsa spec this bike out with this chain ring combination I feel too often gravel bikes or bike touring bikes get spec with compact Road doubles which makes no sense, especially if you're fully loaded, especially if you're off terrain and you're kind of like an average or beginning writer. So this crank set makes sense for this bike and for the potential user. So I applaud them for that for not just sticking on another compact

 And if you found this video helpful like share subscribe, consider supporting the channel and keep the supple side down.

 There's nothing too squirrely or overly unpredictable about the bike. I Like the front and handling, it reminds me of the Warbird. Pretty predictable on the sands. Comfortable and not twitchy

 The bike weighs in on our scales in the mid 20s about 25 maybe 26 ish with the pedals, so not lightweight. Definitely heavier than the Warbird or even the Surly Midnight Special. Kind of on par with a Salsa Via or other steel bike build and it has all the brace on and the nubbins you can ask for. There are three bottle mounts in the frame triangle, two little nubbins on the top tube, two bolt on top tube bags, the adventure mounts on the fork

Bike For a Fat Guy

 that have come standard in the bike industry. And then of course let's not forget it's a salsa that has also written run down to Southside is a brand that many people aspire to own and providing this lower price point bike makes it more accessible to people who aspire to own a salsa right? That's enough for a first look. Let me know you think in the comments section below: Are you loving the pink paint job? Loving the big tires? The price point and expect? Let us know what you think of it. Bike in the comment section down below every for review on a website in a few weeks? Time to make sure you go check that out

 Here in the UK I put us prices in a description below and for that you get a full aluminium frame, a carbon fork and a ram apex won by a group set. So start with a frame and the first thing note is there are mounts and bolts with just about every accessory you want to fit. This bike is all about being versatile so you use it for bike packing, adventures, grammar, racing, touring all DAX or commuting pretty much any you see on uses Bike Fall it can be turned to that use. So on the top tube there two bolts for a small fuel pod going extra, water bottle cage on the bottom of the down tube so three bottle cages there in total

 All the accessory points are mounts on this bike really tell you what the bike is all about and it's basically about having an adventure where it's a micro adventure or a massive European adventure bike, packing, touring, just going out there with everything strapped to the bike that you might need for sleeping bags and tents, to cooking utensils and just gonna and having a bit of fun rather than the race focus riding that the company's own Warbird Gravel race bike is designed for. We have a key difference to the South Warbird is the geometry, so basically a bit more laid back than that bike, so a slightly taller head tube, a bit of a shorter reach just to make it a bit more accessible to a sort of person buying this bike who probably is buying the first gravel or your bike and want something that can be easy to the ride not going to be twitchy or nervous. I mean I can plant it stable and look after them. Whether you're riding, you look at woods with no baggage, or you're fully lading the bike with everything you need for a three-week adventures through the middle or the Himalayas So that's the sort of bike it's read that

[music] This pink beauty is a brand-new Salsa Journeymen, a relatively new model from a US company aimed at bringing their expertise in off road gravel adventure bike to a more accessible, affordable price point.

Salsa Journeyman - A versatile adventure bike

 According to their size chart, either a 54- or 55.5-centimeter frame would work for my height (5’9”). Given my past experiences, I decided to size up to the 55.5-centimeter Journeyman

 In the end, the bike fit me quite well, and with a short seat-tube length (a recent trend for this style of bike), I wasn’t forced to slam the saddle all the way down. While the smaller frame most likely would have worked, I was glad I opted for the bigger of the two. For those buying their first Salsa bike, I recommend taking a close look at the geometry chart before making a final decision. Components and Specs SRAM Apex 1 Drivetrain
