Cannondale Synapse 105
Built for the long haul and perfected on the cobbles of the northern Classics, Synapse won Bicycling magazine’s 2010 “Best Plush Bike” award and Top Velo’s “Cyclosportif Bike of the Year”.
Not merely an aluminum copy of our Carbon Synapses, the Synapse Alloy series features rack mounts, fender clearance and long-reach brakes that expand its versatility without sacrificing its sporting soul.
PERFORMANCE GEOMETRY:
A taller head tube (2-2.5cm more than SuperSix), a longer wheelbase and relaxed angles produce a more upright riding position and a confidence-inspiring ride which avoids the sluggish feel of many "comfort" road bikes.
