The Cannondale Topstone CAAD EQ is the aluminium gravel bike ready for anything: commuting, errands, weekend trips and dirt roads, every day of the year. Compared with the standard Topstone CAAD it adds a complete everyday kit, with a dynamo hub and Herrmans lights, a 20 kg Tubus rack and Curana fenders, all driven by a Shimano CUES 1x11 single-ring drivetrain. Model year 2027.
It is built around the Topstone CAAD frame in SmartForm C1 aluminium, paired with a carbon fork: a tough yet light combination, with StraightShot internal routing for cables and the dynamo system and a long list of mounts for bottles, bags and accessories. It is the ideal equipped gravel bike for riders who want one bike for both the city and adventure.
Aluminium gravel bike: Topstone CAAD SmartForm C1 frame
- SmartForm C1 aluminium frame with 12x142 mm thru-axle and 68 mm BSA threaded bottom bracket
- StraightShot internal routing for cables and dynamo wiring, for a clean look and protected components
- 27.2 mm dropper-compatible seat tube, UDH universal derailleur hanger and 160 mm flat mount brakes
- Multiple bottle and gear mounts, 18 mm two-bolt kickstand mount, rack and fender compatible
- 1.5" Acros-compatible head tube and suspension-ready geometry
Topstone Carbon fork and OutFront geometry
- Topstone carbon fork with 1-1/8" to 1.5" steerer and 12x100 mm thru-axle
- Integrated routing for cables and the dynamo system
- Triple bottle/gear mounts and fender mounts
- 55 mm OutFront offset, designed for stable, precise handling on gravel
Shimano CUES 1x11 drivetrain and hydraulic brakes
- 40-tooth single ring with Shimano CUES LG400 11-50 cassette: easy climbing gears even when fully loaded
- Shimano CUES U6000 Shadow RD+ rear derailleur with LinkGlide LG500 chain, designed for durability and smooth shifting
- Shimano CUES U6030 hydraulic disc brakes with 160/160 mm RT30 centerlock rotors
Lights, rack and fenders as standard
- SP PL-7 front dynamo hub powering the Herrmans MR9 headlight and H-Trace rear light: always visible, no batteries to recharge
- Tubus rear rack with a load capacity of up to 20 kg
- Curana Apollo fenders to stay clean in the wet
- GXD 1.0 28-hole wheels with 23 mm inner width and WTB Vulpine TCS Light 700x40c tubeless-ready tires
Comfort and components
The Cannondale 3 6061 aluminium handlebar with 16° flare gives more control and more hand positions on loose descents, while the 2.7 mm Cannondale KnurlCork tape filters vibrations. The Selle Royal SRX Open 145 mm saddle and the 27.2 mm Cannondale 3 seatpost complete a setup designed for long hours in the saddle. On EQ models tire clearance is slightly reduced because of the fenders.
Why choose the Cannondale Topstone CAAD EQ
- One bike for commuting, touring and gravel, fully equipped out of the box
- Dynamo lighting system integrated into the frame and fork
- 20 kg rack and fenders as standard
- Simple, robust 1x11 drivetrain with a wide gear range
