SAVE PLUS Rear Stay Micro-Suspension System
By flattening and butting the chain stays and triaxially forming the seat stays, we create a rear stay assembly that allows significant deflection vertically to absorb road shock and vibration, while staying extremely rigid laterally for power transfer and confident cornering.
SAVE PLUS Carbon-Bladed Fork
Synapse fork features carbon blades with integrated SAVE PLUS features to improve comfort and control.
BB30 system
Over 10 years ago we took a bike component that had not changed for years, the bottom bracket, and redesigned it. Oversized and stiffer, simpler and lighter and above all higher performance, the result was our BB30 bottom bracket system. BB30 has since become the leading high-performance bottom bracket design and is available on some Synapse Alloy models.
