SAVE PLUS Rear Stay Micro-Suspension System
A directional carbon lay-up and exaggerated vibration-absorbing tube shapes give the SAVE PLUS chain stay/seat stay system 13% more vertical deflection than the previous version, while actually improving the frames lateral and torsional stiffness.
SAVE PLUS Full Carbon Fork
Offset dropouts allow the fork blades to have the vertical compliance of a shallow rake fork, without sacrificing the Synapses nimble, precise handling. Refined carbon lay-up and SAVE shaping further enhance the forks vertical compliance.
Performance Geometry
Compared with our Elite race geometry, the Synapse features a 2-2.5 cm taller head tube, slightly relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase for a more upright riding position and a stable yet lively feel. It's confidence-inspiring, relaxing and it avoids the sluggish feel and awkward handling of many road bikes.

Comments about cannondale SYNAPSE CARBON Hi-MOD BLACK INC.:
WOW what a machine. Bought my SL1 for my 50th birthday. Full on dura ace expept for the brakes, which were canondales own. They felt soft so I upgraded too ultagra and problem solved. Super glade to see they now use a full dura ace kit. Has to make things so close to perfect it's scary. Long rides (5+hrs), shorter rides, no worries. It's always all legs and lungs and no other concerns except for the fun level of the route I'm on. And for my 60th? YUP another top of the line Synapse. A big plus is that my riding buddies with other brands all wish they had listend to me.
