Nothing is Impassable

Kingpin Suspension

Delivering a smooth ride without the added weight and complexity of a shock and links, Kingpin is our answer for the most demanding gravel riders. Whether you need more comfort to go long, more traction to push beyond or more give to take on the tech - Kingpin is the maintenance-free, lightweight answer to your prayers.

Ride Brilliantly

On every ride, SmartSense has your back. With SmartSense’s system of rear-facing radar and intelligent lights increasing your awareness and visibility out on the open road, it’s never been easier to ride smart.

Features

Connected

An integrated wheel sensor delivers hyper-accurate speed, route and distance info while you ride, registers your bike, reminds you of needed service and more, all through the free Cannondale App.

Dropper Ready

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

Engineered Simplicity

Low-friction bushings on the Kingpin thru-axle offer smooth action, maintenance-free reliability and over 100 grams of weight savings vs conventional cartridge bearings.

Clearance and Compatibility

The new dropped chainstay design lets you run big volume tires (up to 700x45mm or 27.5x2.1", with 6mm of mud-shedding clearance on each side), all with a standard dish rear wheel for easy interchangeability.

Tuned for the Rider

Our Proportional Response size-specific construction creates optimal frame stiffness and compliance for each frame size, so that every rider has the ideal ride feel and comfort of Kingpin.

SmartSense Equipped

Our intelligent system of running lights and rear-facing radar is fully integrated and powered by a single power source for total convenience. More visibility. Better awareness. Less pre-ride fiddling.

Hollowgram G-SL 27 Carbon Wheels

Light, smooth and guaranteed for life, these carbon hoops were made for gravel! The 27mm internal width is perfect for bigger tires and the 21mm deep profile takes the sting out of the rough and rugged. With DT Aerolite spokes and DT Swiss 240 EXP internals, they weigh a mere 1325 grams/pair.

OutFront Steering Geometry

Confident stability meets nimble agility. An extra long fork offset paired with a slack head angle keeps the steering light and lively, yet delivers unreal confidence at speed and in the rough stuff.

Corner like a Boss

Rail through the rough and come out smiling. Led by our OutFront steering geometry, the Topstone Carbon offers up handling that's serenely stable in the chop, and light & nimble everywhere else.
