Gravel roads, out in the elements

What it's built for

Traction, handling, comfort

A capable, versatile gravel road bike. Built for chasing horizons, exploring routes less travelled or accelerating your commute. A balanced riding position: upright enough for comfort over the long haul and control on technical terrain, yet still low and forward enough for speedy efficiency.

Built with plenty of room for tyres up to 42mm wide, for comfort, grip and adventurous capability. With mounts for three water bottles, plus mounts for top tube storage, the Topstone is ready to go long. Multiple bottle cage positions on the downtube mount let you configure for big frame bags.

Key Features

• A full carbon fork with a tapered steerer and 12mm thru-axles delivers a light, comfortable and precise-steering front end


• OutFront Steering Geometry keeps the steering light and agile, while positioning the wheel further in front of the rider for stability and confidence on rougher stuff


• Built to accept an internally-routed 27.2 dropper seatpost, which shouldn’t really be a surprise on a bike that's this off-road capable


• Removable Fender Bridge bolts on when you want fenders, disappears when you don't


• Light, durable SmartForm C2 Alloy Frame w/ carbon fork for stiff but light construction allows you to convert more of your power into speed


• Shimano Sora 9-speed Drivetrain for precise gear changes and making it easier to ride up steep hills


• Promax Decoder R mechanical disc brakes give powerful, controllable and consistent stopping power with less effort
