Which Cannondale - CAADX 105 or Topstone

[se9boy]

Hi, I’m looking for a gravel / cyclocross type bike and thought I’d settled on the CAADX 105 until I saw the new Topstone 105 model.

I’m no expert, I’ve spotted the obvious difference of internal cable routes on the Topstone but other than that is it worth me holding out for a Topstone (circa 2 months wait) over the more readily available 2019 CAADX?

Many thanks, Steve.

Top stone looks like it has slacker (more stable) geometry and a less aggressive position more like a Synapse. Also meant to have more clearance for bigger tyres whereas the CAADX is based around 35mm cyclocross tyres.

Top stone looks like a more versatile everyday bike but CAADX more suited to racing.

Also, as cyclocross bikes go, the CAADX has pretty stable geometry. If I were buying now, I would probably look seriously at the Topstone, but I'm happy with my CAADX.
