The weather was the hot goss around Emporia during the week of UNBOUND Gravel 2022. “Will it rain?” “How hot will it be?” “What tires are you running?” “Oh look, the forecast changed!” Well, it rained and it was cold. John Collinson, a professional skier, rode the 100mi edition. He told me the next day that was the second coldest he has ever been, and that he was sore from shivering so hard. The sloppy conditions made it hard to recognize athletes splashing by, but it made for some nice images. This edition of Unbound had designated media stops to…
##Cannondale Topstone Carbon 105 Disc Gravel Road Bike 2020 Raising the bar in gravel and adventure riding, the Cannondale Topstone Carbon 105 Disc Gravel Road Bike draws inspiration from the full family of Cannondale machines to optimise comfort, ensure speed and efficiency and guarantee fun across all surfaces. Foremost, the revolutionary KingPin Suspension smooths out vibrations and bumps by delivering up to 30mm of relief without adding weight or mechanical complexity, helping to stave off fatigue. The geometry slots the rider into an Endurance Fit that delivers the right mix of stability for comfort and control on long adventures whilst still feeling fast when the route ahead prompts you to get low and push on. Further enhancing handling and performance is the LockR Pivot that secures the left and right seat-stays for a more secure ride and instant response when you need to drive hard on the pedals. This bike has a brain too, with an intelligent, integrated wheel sensor providing speed, route and distance info, as well as suggestions for servicing and ongoing maintenance, all through the Cannondale App. Bringing the reliable Shimano 105 groupset across from road disciplines, powerful hydraulic disc brakes will keep you moving on remote roads, whether climbing, descending or pounding the flats in all conditions. When it comes to carrying your gear for overnighters there is plenty of space for mounting accessories, bags and water bottles and the mudguard-ready frame will keep your stuff clean when the weather turns. ##Features * Built with plenty of room for tyres up to 40mm wide, for comfort, grip and adventurous capability * Internal routing protects vulnerable cables from filth * Multi-position mount on the downtube, and more on the top tube, seat tube, and under the down tube, and there are even mounts on the forks * Dropper Ready - built to accept an internally-routed 27.2 dropper seatpost * Shimano 105 groupset * Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes

Now, I'm not a religious person, but I did grow up in a Christian church, so I am well aware of the characters, entities, and symbolism that exists in the Bible. Using the word "Antichrist" in the title of this review will ruffle some feathers, but hear me out. If we look at the phrase metaphorically, the Antichrist is opposition to the status quo, said to appear before the end of the world. Now, reading the reactions to this bike online, many would have you believe it is the harbinger of doom for the gravel world and ya know what?…

We have loaded the SX with everything that we'd want from a gravel/adventure bike in a package that is both tighter and more focused than the original Grit.
