Our take on the ultimate all-round gravel bike. Go anywhere, bring everything and then keep on going.
Model Description
Smooth operator meets gravel grinder. A blended SRAM Apex AXS / GX Eagle AXS wide-range drivetrain ensures every shift is sharp, while KingPin suspension takes the edge off even the roughest tracks. The Topstone Carbon 2 AXS doesn’t care if the road is paved, gravel, or somewhere in between. It’s ready to haul gear, race friends, or chase sunsets—anywhere, any time.

Features
Tidy does it
Internal cable routing throughout the frame, combined with Conceal Stem, delivers a tidy, integrated look.
KingPin
Our innovative gravel rear suspension is light, simple, and effective. A thru-axle pivot in the seat tube allows the rear triangle and seatpost of the bike to flex vertically, delivering up to 30mm of bump-smoothing travel.
StashPort + StashBag
StashPort is our take on a downtube storage system, accessed beneath the water bottle cage. Every bike includes StashBag, a specially designed bag for your essentials.
