MRAP: $2129 USD
PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
Prices and availability may vary from Dealer to Dealer. Please contact your local Cannondale Dealer for details.
Take rides into the next county or just across town. The ultra-comfortable Synapse features relaxed geometry and advanced vibration-damping properties. Riders also have a choice of beautiful paintjobs and their favorite frame materials: HI-MODulus, ultra carbon, or 6061-T6 aluminum.
S.A.V.E. FEATURE
Shaped chain stays and a moderate bend in the seat stays provide sophisticated vibration damping, with lateral flex resistance for excellent climbing and sprinting characteristics. We call it Synapse Active Vibration Elimination.

CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING FRAMES
Re-engineered geometry puts the rider in control. We simultaneously improved performance and power transfer with optimized tube shaping, and placed cyclists in a superior riding position aboard the Synapse. The result? Ultimate performance in a confidence-inspiring package.

BB30/HOLLOWGRAM COMBO
Our oversized BB shell standard is recognized by others in the industry as being the best of breed because it significantly reduces weight without a penalty in stiffness. Add to that the Hollowgram Si SL crankset, and the combo is the lightest and stiffest production system in the world.

WEIGHT: Don't see a weight listed for this bike? Wondering why that is? Well, we used to list our weights based upon medium or 56 cm frame and err on the side of caution when we know there will be variances due to welds, paint thicknesses, etc. But some of our competitors are weighing their small or extra small frames and rounding down. Then you're left wondering what's going on and making important buying decisions based upon faulty information. That's not right.
So because weight is too important to you as a consumer, we encourage a healthy bit of skepticism over published weights. Go to your local dealer, see it, feel it, weigh it and test ride it for yourself. We're that confident. You should be, too.

SPECIFICATION CHANGES & UPDATES
We do our best to ensure web content accurately reflects exact product spec. However, as changes occur, there may be brief delays in site updates. We reserve the right to make spec changes to improve products without prior notification, which may cause short-term differences in the information listed on the web.
