Always Game
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.
