The OutFront steering geometry blends off-road stability with lively steering agility, with tire clearance up to 700x45c and dropper post compatibility make the Topstone Carbon supremely capable and confident on any surface.
This Topstone Carbon Apex AXS Bike features SRAM’s Apex AXS XPLR wireless 12-speed shifting system, for ultra-quick and precise shifting without cables or wires. The Apex AXS XPLR hydraulic disc brakes provide nearly effortless stopping power, for controllable braking with less hand effort. This Topstone rolls on Formula cartridge bearing hubs with the durable DT Swiss G540 rims and 700x45c WTB Riddler tires, a tubeless-ready setup that’s versatile, capable, and reliable. The Topstone Carbon Apex AXS bike is also SmartSense-ready, for compatibility with the Cannondale SmartSense lighting and radar system, offering seamlessly integrated lighting and safety options (sold separately).

It can be argued that tires may be the most important (and most affordable) upgrades you can put on your bike. This rings true whether you are churning out miles on pavement, grinding gravel backroads, racing your local cyclocross course, or blasting dirt trails on your mountain bike. Getting the most out of your bike by matching quality compounds, impeccable construction, and cutting-edge tire tech is firmly rooted in the ethos of Specialized. Tires were the first product that Specialized offered and continues to be a fundamental focus of research and development for the brand.
Some things are just timeless. Like red brick is to buildings, steel is to bicycles. You may have noticed that finely constructed steel frames, crafted and welded by the best builders continue to be highly sought after for their unblemished combination of form and function.
When it comes to frame materials, nothing brings the WOW factor quite like Titanium. This magical metal combines the excellent ride feel of a steel frame, but without the weight penalty. Not to mention, just the beauty of a Titanium frame will keep your riding buddies drooling while they are struggling to hold your wheel.
