The open road, up & down hills, rough pavement

What it's built for?

Comfort, handling, going long

Highlights:

• Lightweight Synapse Carbon frameset / SmartSense ready
• Shimano Tiagra 10-speed group w/ hydraulic disc brakes
• Integrated Cannondale App connectivity

OVERVIEW:

So Smooth

With Synapse, comfort is built in. Discreet flex zones in the rear triangle, seat tube and seatpost absorb road chatter and bumps without adding weight or isolating you from the ride experience.

So Fast

Lightweight carbon construction. Subtle aerodynamic shaping of the frame and fork. Size-specific design for perfectly tuned stiffness. It all adds up to a machine that loves to fly.

So Capable

With a comfortably balanced riding position, confidence-inspiring handling, room for 35mm wide tires for cushion and grip, and plenty of gear/bottle mounts, Synapse is ready to rock on any road, anywhere.

Mount Up

Mounts and eyelets galore means you can equip Synapse for whatever the day has in store, including full fender compatibility. Even rain can't keep Synapse down.

FEATURES:

SmartSense Ready

Make every ride better with enhanced visibility and awareness. The SmartSense-ready frame means it's easy to upgrade to our system of intelligent running lights and rear-facing radar.

Wide Ranging Capabilities

Clearance for 35mm tires lets you venture beyond the perfectly paved with comfort and grip - or ride through the wet season with full fenders.

Specially Smooth

Comfort and control you feel, not see. Everything you need for a bump-absorbing smooth ride is engineered into the frame shape and carbon layup - giving you a light, sleek ride that's unlike anything else.

Tuned for the Rider

Our Proportional Response size-specific construction creates optimal frame stiffness and compliance for each frame size, so that every rider experiences Synapse's glorious ride feel.
