2020 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 - Female

Built for big rides and long days in the saddle, the Synapse offers full race performance, allday geometry, wide-ranging capabilities and a micro-suspension system that insulates you from the bumps without isolating you from the experience. It’s a true endurance machine, for true endurance riders. Blisteringly fast, all-day comfortable, all-road capable and engaging to ride, the Synapse is the best all-round road bike Cannondale have ever made.

Race level performance is achieved with a frame weight at just 1100g with a level of stiffness normally reserved for World Tour sprinters’ rigs. This thing is fast. SAVE Micro-Suspension in the frame, fork and seatpost keeps you protected from shocks and vibration yet connected to the feel of the ride. 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. Proportional Response Design ensures that every rider, regardless of size, enjoys the same ride feel and handling. Each size gets its own custom carbon layup, tube dimensions and geometry. Cannondale even use three different steerer diameters and fork rakes through the size run for a truly tailored feel. With full clearance for tyres up to a whopping 32mm wide, and subtle, hidden mudguard mounts, the Synapse is ready and willing to explore the wilder side of endurance riding.

About the Brand
Cannondale have come a long way since our birth in a crowded loft above a pickle factory in 1971. From introducing the cycling industry's first bicycle trailer, the Bugger, and added successful cycling apparel and accessory lines while earning a strong reputation for innovation and quality. Cannondale introduced its first bicycle, a Touring model, in 1983. They raised the cycling world's eyebrows by building our bicycles around handcrafted, oversized aluminium frames that were both lighter and more flex-resistant than the steel models that dominated the industry at the time. In the last 14 years, Cannondale won five Giro d'Italia Maglia Rosas and most recently won the Giro d'Iltalia and the Vuelta a Espana in one single year!
