SAVE PLUS for Longer, More Comfortable Rides
SAVE PLUS is the newly redesigned micro suspension system made specifically for our Synapse line of bikes. With even more emphasis on comfort than SPEED SAVE, SAVE PLUS’ rear stays feature a flattened area that can deflect vertically to absorb road buzz and shock while the increased width resists side-to-side and torsional flex.
SAVE PLUS MultiFlex Seatpost System*
The new SAVE PLUS Multiflex Seatpost System features two different SAVE PLUS seatpost shafts, one with firm flex, and one with softer flex so riders can tune the ride-feel to their preference. Also compatible with 2009-2010 Synapse frames for owners who wish to upgrade.
*Second seatpost shaft offered after-market
SAVE PLUS Fork Smooths the Road
The new SAVE PLUS fork is a gorgeously smooth-riding combination of sophisticated carbon lay-up and shaping, and offset dropouts for increased vertical deflection and vibration absorption with no loss in steering precision.
