FOR SALE: Cannondale Topstone Carbon Lefty 3 — Mantis Colourway
RRP: R75 000 | Asking: R49 000
If you know, you know.
The Mantis colourway — that jaw-dropping lime green and deep purple — doesn't ask for attention. It demands it. And what's under the paint backs it up completely.

Why this bike is different:
✅ Basically brand new — only 90–100km across 7–8 casual rides. That's it. The engine hasn't even warmed up yet.
✅ Flawless condition — not a single scratch, scuff, or mark anywhere on the frame. Zero. Showroom quality at a used price.
✅ Never crashed, never abused — all original warranty and serial stickers still intact, exactly as it left the shop.
✅ Fully upgraded — this isn't stock spec. Thoughtfully upgraded and meticulously maintained throughout its very short life.
✅ Cannondale Lefty fork — one of the most talked-about forks in the gravel world. Rides as good as it looks.
✅ Always stored indoors — treated like the premium machine it is, from day one.
This is as close to buying new without paying full retail. You'll struggle to find a cleaner or better-maintained Topstone Carbon Lefty 3 anywhere. If you've been hunting for a high-performance gravel bike without the new bike price tag — this is it.

Upgrades & Added Value — Over R8,000 Invested
Every single upgrade on this bike was chosen with purpose — to enhance performance, improve comfort, and make every ride better than the last. Nothing was done halfway.
• Panaracer Gravel King SK+ II x 48C — one of the most respected gravel tyres on the market, delivering exceptional grip and confidence on any surface
• cSixx Cannondale 42T Chainring — optimised gearing specifically dialled in for gravel riding
• LOOK Kéo Classic 3 Pedals — a proven, high-quality pedal platform trusted by riders worldwide

• KCNC Fly Ride Stem — lightweight, stiff, and razor-sharp in steering response
• Factory Leather Bar Tape — premium grip and feel from the very first ride

• Token Hero Side Pull Carbon Water Bottle Cage — lightweight, secure, and trail-ready
The combined result? A fully upgraded Topstone Carbon Lefty 3 that, if purchased new today with all the upgrades, premium components, and recent professional servicing, would cost well over R80 000.

Optimised Tyre Setup:
One of the most respected gravel tyres on the market. The aggressive SK tread pattern bites into loose gravel, dirt, and technical terrain with confidence, while the ZSG Gravel compound delivers grip across every surface. The TuffTex casing keeps weight low without sacrificing puncture resistance.
