          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 Synapse Carbon Frameset / Integrated Cannondale App connectivity / SmartSense compatible

          • Shimano Tiagra hydraulic disc brakes

          Road Reimagined

          So Smooth
          With Synapse, comfort is built in. Discreet flex zones in the rear triangle, seat tube and seatpost absorb road chatter and bumps without adding weight or isolating you from the ride experience.
          So Fast
          Lightweight carbon construction. Subtle aerodynamic shaping of the frame and fork. Size-specific design for perfectly tuned stiffness. It all adds up to a machine that loves to fly.
          So Capable
          With a comfortably balanced riding position, confidence-inspiring handling, room for 35mm wide tires for cushion and grip, and plenty of gear/bottle mounts, Synapse is ready to rock on any road, anywhere.
