I first saw this bike when I was looking at my first bike but decided to get the Cannondale Quick CX 4 to see if I enjoyed cycling in the first place. 2 weeks later I returned that bike and placed an order on this instead.The first thing I noticed is the comparative agility and quickness coming from a plusher hybrid fitness bike in the Quick CX 4 to this āentry-levelā gravel bike. The handful of pounds saved makes it much easier to carry and transport in my truck and it is a very enjoyable ride. The āCannondale 4ā drop bar handlebars are very enjoyable and comfortable for long rides.

I saw this bike online and went to see it in the store. The sales person said I have your size in a medium that was returned and is almost new and itās at a discount. Turns out the discount was applicable to this model whether new or not. I put aside my misgivings and paid the new bike price for a used bike. Iām sure itās a great bike but it wasnāt nearly new judging by how it performed. Loud front brakes are a common problem on this model. Also the shifting wasnāt ānew bikeā smooth. I took it back and the manager was offended I was returning the used bike I paid the new bike price for. I hate returning anything but in this case I felt it was entirely justified and Iām more than a little perturbed at the treatment I received.

Iāve had this bike for 2 months, done quite a lot of social rides with it in most weather conditions. Whilst the bike is sturdy it does come at the cost of weight, this bike easily surpasses 12kg in the Large size.Gearing is good, offers the happy medium between road riding and gravel riding, if you want to do off-road only you would probably need something with a lower gear ratio, I do find the lowest gear tough on 25% gradients and Iām a keen hill specialist on the bike.The tyres are the biggest downfall, they are un-assuringly slippery, any wet surface they offer little, despite having a large tread. On muddy wet trails I would not feel confident, this might be a rider issue, but this wonāt allow a novice to hit the trails overnight.Having riden 100milers ...Ā MoreIāve had this bike for 2 months, done quite a lot of social rides with it in most weather conditions.

When riding solo on the drops, the position is a little wide and stretched out, so it is a tiring after a while. Average pace on the bike will be rider dependent. But if you can hold 18-20mph solo on a road bike you should see 16-17mph on this, so it is a good road option even with the fat tyres on.If you want this for road only (i.e. winter bike) I would recommend swapping the tyres, as they are a drag.Bike has good components, only cheap part theyāve skimped on is the bottom bracket, FSA parts rust after 1 season, so be aware that this will need changing quickly.

This is my first gravel bike and I can honestly say, it was exactly what I was looking for! This bike is great for anyone looking to get into gravel riding without over spending...quality parts, clean aesthetics, simple, and functional! Unless you're a pro cyclist, I don't know what more you could ask for. The olive green color is really cool... different from a lot of other bikes out there! I might add, sizing runs a bit large, in my opinion, so consider sizing down if you're in between sizes. Very happy with this purchase...so much, in fact, that I'll probably be buying one for the wife. Also, Mike's Bikes was great to deal with! They're a great group of bike loving people. You won't regret doing business with them!
Opted for the Topstone 3 (S) given the decent price and my nostalgic affinity for Cannondales that dates back to the mid 1990. Plus, I wanted a bike that is better on the roads than my mtb.Bought the Topstone online through REI. Went with a Small given my below average height and inseam. Got dialed in pretty quickly and find the bike comfortable and compliant. From my non-expert perspective, the fit is as advertised, but ymmv.So far, it has handled the lighter trails as I expected and it's decently fast on paved roads. Given my weight (currently 230) I'm really pleased with how its handled. Same time, I'm currently putting together a second wheelset with proper road tires because my Topstone has become my primary bike for exercise and group road rides, and ...Ā MoreOpted for the Topstone 3 (S) given the decent price and my nostalgic affinity for Cannondales that dates back to the mid 1990.

Given my weight (currently 230) I'm really pleased with how its handled. Same time, I'm currently putting together a second wheelset with proper road tires because my Topstone has become my primary bike for exercise and group road rides, and because I don't want to buy a third bike. Not to mention, I simply want to try out some decent carbon rims to go with the carbon fork.Feeling so-so about the Fizik Aliante Delta saddle, especially when the miles hit north of 15 on a ride. Haven't had any chaffing but my discomfort starts to increase a bit more than I'm accustomed to. I will probably try out a few different saddles in the near future but I'll give it some more time/miles first.The Shimano Sora gearing/FSA Tempo Adventure cranks have been smooth and problem free, and didn't get messed up even when I changed gears on an uphill under pressure.The Promax mechanical brakes are decent enough. They haven't failed and I haven't felt nervous about them at any point However their stopping power is noticeably inferior compared to the Shimano hydraulic brakes on my mtb. Then again, I don't plan on using my Topstone for chunkier, steeper downhill trails near me, at least not regularly, where such a difference would be magnified.Overall, it's a pretty bike to my eyes. I've long opted for more muted colors on my bikes. However the grey paint job seems much darker than depicted in the above picture. I was liking hard on that lighter gray and feel a little disappointed by the difference between what my eyes see in the picture and what I see now. It is what it is. Already over it. Bottom line is that for me, the Topstone is a capable bike on and off road. I'm stoked about it and any upgrades I might make beyond perhaps the saddle, are more about improvements specific to my needs, not about any true deficiencies or limitations of the bike.
The Cannondale Topstone 4 looks terrific, is pretty light for the price, and very comfortable to ride for a few hours straight. I purchased it to see if it would motivate me to get back into cycling for exercise and exploring- and it has! I really like that it only has a single (rear) derailleur that shifts crisply, as this both simplifies the ride and the maintenance. I was a bit worried about the gear range, but for my level of fitness it is perfect: I haven't met a steep enough hill climb to require the smallest gear, and the largest gear is perfect for a reasonable cadence on flat ground at 20mph or downhill at 30mph.So why one star? I drove two hours to pick it up at REI, and in the pre-release checkout the tech spent an hour trying to align the rear disc ...Ā MoreThe Cannondale Topstone 4 looks terrific, is pretty light for the price, and very comfortable to ride for a few hours straight.

I drove two hours to pick it up at REI, and in the pre-release checkout the tech spent an hour trying to align the rear disc brake so that it would not rub the disc. He ultimately gave up and said the brake mount was not properly ground at the factory, and promised to have a more experience tech fix it. So I drove two hours home empty handed. They called the next day to say it was all set, so I drove back two hours to pick it up. Honestly, this is 5+ stars for service, but... I just finished a 50 mile test ride (almost entirely on a paved rail trail, not gravel), and everything was great* EXCEPT there was an increasingly horrible grinding sound when I used the rear brake. I checked it out at home, and the caliper is once again clearly misaligned to the point it bends the disc when closed. So now back to REI for a third maintenance attempt to fix it. If it can't be reliably fixed, I'm likely to return it. Although I'd consider another Topstone model that is aligned and perhaps with better brakes.* Other than the rear brake, the only thing worth mentioning is there is a fairly loud 'clunk' when it drops down a gear. At first I found this disconcerting, but I am starting to like it because it shifts cleanly and the clunk is positive feedback of the gear change.
The Cannondale Topstone 1 2023 is a solid, fast, amazingly comfortable and versatile bike. On the road I am able to keep pace with road bikes. The bike abdords road bumps and remains stable in rough roads riddled with potholes. It has some subtle compliance which makes it feel amazing on tarmac. It climbs reasonably well. On the flat, it accelerates faster than expected and holds on to its speed satisfactorily. It takes quite a bit of fiddling with the saddle angle and seatpost height to get a perfect fit. Once dialled in, this brown beast is exquisitely comfortable. It feels a bit heavier as you clock in the miles but with good sports nutrition and hydration, you can keep going for hours without feeling any pain in the backside.

On the flat, it accelerates faster than expected and holds on to its speed satisfactorily. It takes quite a bit of fiddling with the saddle angle and seatpost height to get a perfect fit. Once dialled in, this brown beast is exquisitely comfortable. It feels a bit heavier as you clock in the miles but with good sports nutrition and hydration, you can keep going for hours without feeling any pain in the backside. For a racier feel, it helps to install a longer stem and slam it right down to the headtube. The brakes take a few miles to run in and once done, they bite without pulling hard on the levers. The gear changes are smoth. It takes a bit of effort to master a 2 by drive train when coming from a Shimano slx 1 X 12 system on my XC MTB. Once harmony between man and machine is synchronised, the 2by drive train is predictable and reliable. This bike made me stay out for more than 2 hours when my original intention was to test ride it for just 1 hour. I am finding excuses to go out for a ride more often than usual. This bike is excellent as a fast commuter's companion. On gravel roads with loose rock debris, it's stable enough to stay upright. However, wider tyres would make it more capable on gravel roads with jutting roots and larger chunks of rocks. I will run this bike with a lightweight road wheelset and tubeless 32mm road tyres. For off road useI will run stock wheels with 47mm in front and 45mm rear gravel tyres. The tyre clearance is generous enough. I will add a suspension dropper seatpost for more comfort. At the moment, a shock stop suspension stem is not needed. The stock bar tape and flared alloy handle bars and surprisingly comfortable š.
Really pleased with the Topstone 3 and in the sale it represents superb value for money. I was worried about the sizing but the L fits me (185cm) well. The bike is very stable, climbs and descends very capably and even with the 37mm WTB tyres fitted rolls reasonably well on tarmac. The switch to tubeless was easy and definitely worth it. Itās not perfect; the place for the battery on the down tube is a bit annoying aesthetically and the handlebars are on the wide side at 46cm on the hoods and more on the drops. Bars are the one thing I will change at some point as the front end is a little harsh on the rough stuff too and I think a carbon upgrade would help here. But overall delighted and love riding this on all terrain.
I acquired this bike as a winter trainer and it has more than fulfilled my expectations. Delivery was very quick and well organised - I cannot remember buying a bike with less hassle. The bike itself is beautifully balanced and the geometry is well conceived. For a gravel bike it performs well on the road. The most notable feature is the splayed handlebars - the improvement in stability is remarkable. I have a prejudice agianst disc brakes but these are sensitive and responsive. Gear ratios are well chosen and the GRX400 is suitably robust for rural Wales. My only disappointment is the tyres. Brilliant grip but very soft and the deep tread picks up thorns. I have had 4 punctures in the first two weeks! Tubeless tyres may be a better option. But overall, I am delighted.
I just bought a topstone 2 and have taken it out for a few rides. This is a really good bike. It feels fast and agile, it climbs pretty well, itās good on gravel and on roads. The 37mm tires feel pretty fast, they do well on gravel, however they do slip a little on very loose technical uphill climes. The carbon fork works well and absorbs a lot. The brakes are great. The gearing is good for gravel. The bike is comfortable with well thought out geometry like every other cannonade bike I have ever been on. REI service and fitting was also really good. I could not be happier with the purchase.
