The Cannondale Synapse Carbon is Cannondale's top endurance road bike, focusing on comfort and efficient power transfer. The Hi-MOD carbon frame is designed to reduce road vibrations and allows for a riding position that supports longer rides with less fatigue. The geometry is intentionally less aggressive than that of pure aero road bikes, relieving stress on the back, shoulders, and hands. The bike is equipped with the electronic Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed drivetrain, which enables smooth and reliable gear shifts. Hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent braking performance in various weather and road conditions. The integrated Cannondale SystemBar R-One carbon cockpit ensures a tidy front end and fully internal cable routing. A practical detail is the integrated StashPort in the downtube, which offers storage space for tools or spare materials, potentially eliminating the need for additional bags. The Synapse rolls on Reserve 42|49 Turbulent carbon wheels with Vittoria Corsa PRO Control tires in a 32 mm width. This combination supports comfort, traction, and safety on the road, even on rougher sections.
