          Road Reimagined

          Roll smooth, roll fast, roll confident. Wherever the road takes you, roll with Synapse – our most comfortable, all-around, up-for-anything, pure road machine.

          Where it thrives

          The open road, up & down hills, rough pavement

          What it's built for

          Comfort, handling, going long

          Highlights

          • Lightweight SmartForm C2 Alloy Frame w/ full carbon fork
          • Shimano 105 11-speed group w/ hydraulic disc brakes
          • DT Swiss R470 wheels / 700x30c Vittoria tires
          • Fizik Aliante Delta Saddle

          So Smooth

          With Synapse Alloy, comfort is built in. Synapse Alloy’s frame tubes are shaped and butted with absolute precision to help absorb road chatter and bumps without adding weight or isolating you from the ride experience.

          So Comfortable
          Synapse Alloy moves with both pace and grace. A comfortable riding position, planted handling, and the wonderful responsiveness of alloy under power, all create a bike that will help you feel in control and get more out of every ride.
          So Capable
          Synapse’s comfort and confidence brings utility, too. Balanced geometry, plenty of gear/bottle mounts, and clearance for 32mm wide tires that bring cushion and grip, mean Synapse is ready to rock on any road.

          So Ready

          Don’t sweat the small stuff. Synapse comes with a Contain top tube bag on some models. It’s easy to load and easy to reach while you’re riding. Bring snacks, tools, a map, or whatever else will help you go farther.
