"Cannondale's gravel fun machine just got a meaningful tech upgrade. The new Topstone Carbon 2 AXS SmartSense adds the brand's fully integrated SmartSense Gen 2 rider-awareness system to its flagship adventure gravel platform. The addition of SmartSense Gen 2 to the Topstone is a....smart move (see what I did there?) Given what riders will be using this bike for, some additional real-time safety tech will add an extra layer of safety while adventuring and exploring."
"SmartSense isn't an add-on or aftermarket gadget; it's built directly into the bike. The original SmartSense system debuted several years ago and was available on some earlier Topstone models. The 2nd generation of Cannondale's SmartSense system aims to improve upon the original and includes integrated front and rear lights, rear-facing radar, sensors, and a centralized battery, all working together. The goal is to increase visibility and situational awareness without adding cockpit clutter, extra mounts, and additional gear to forget to charge."
Topstone Carbon 2 AXS SmartSense equips a flagship adventure gravel platform with SmartSense Gen 2, a fully integrated rider-awareness system. The system combines front and rear lights, rear-facing radar, sensors, and a centralized frame battery to power all components and eliminate separate charging routines. The front light automatically adjusts to ambient conditions while the rear radar monitors approaching vehicles and sends alerts through paired head units or devices. The rear light increases brightness when traffic is detected to improve visibility. Gen 2 integration is more seamless, reducing cockpit clutter and enhancing real-time safety on gravel rides.
