2018 Cannondale Synapse Al Disc 105 Road Bike

True Endurance Machinery

This is for the riders. You know the ones — the chargers, the searchers, the hammers with nothing to prove — except to themselves. The ones who live to go long and go hard, and return home with nothing in the tank but the glow of a ride well ridden.

Race-Level Performance
New frame weighs just 950g (over 220g lighter) with a level of stiffness normally reserved for World Tour sprinters’ rigs. This thing is fast.
 

Connected Comfort
The updated SAVE Micro-Suspension in the frame and fork is complemented by the addition of the SAVE seatpost, for enhanced comfort and performance enhancement that keeps you protected from shocks and vibration yet connected to the feel of the ride.

Endurance Race Geometry
The rider position perfectly balances low, forward efficiency and upright comfort, for a “just-right” feel that encourages full-gas exploits and all-day sessions.


Size-Optimised Design
The new Synapse takes our size-specific construction philosophy to a whole new level. Not only does every frame size get its own rider-appropriate carbon layup and tube dimensions, we also utilise three different fork steerer and headtube diameters with three different fork offsets to ensure that every rider enjoys the same ride-feel and handling, regardless of size.
 

Wide Ranging Capabilities
With full clearance for tires up to a whopping 32mm wide, and subtle, hidden fender mounts, the new Synapse is ready and willing to explore the wilder side of endurance riding.
