2018 Cannondale Synapse Carbon Disc 105 Road Bike

Pick a destination and go ride. The Cannondale Synapse Carbon Disc is a sportive road bike with a race attitude. It’s great for endurance riding, making comfort a priority.

Cannondale designed the Synapse frame to be comfortable for longer distances, yet stiff enough for road racing. It’s lightweight thanks to the BallisTec Carbon used. The frame features Cannondale’s SAVE PLUS technology which incorporates a slight flex in the stays and seat tube to add comfort to the rider. The Endurance Race Geometry positions the rider in the perfect spot to attack during a race, yet relax for longer distances.

The Fender Up feature is a removeable seat stay bridge that allows for full mudguards to be mounted to the frame. Internal cable routing keeps the appearance neat, and a 12mm thru-axle maintain optimum stiffness in the rear. Every Synapse frame is Di2 ready, allowing for easy battery storage and routing. The frame will take up to 32c tyres.

The Synapse Disc fork has Asymmetric technology and is made with BallisTec Carbon. It uses SAVE PLUS technology to flex slightly for comfort and bump control, pairing up perfectly to the frame for an all-round supple ride. It also has a 12mm thru-axle to match the frame.

The Shimano 105 2x11 speed drivetrain gives near race quality shifting to help you optimise your speed on the Synapse. Keeping speed in check are RS505 hydraulic disc brakes, which offer powerful performance in any weather condition.

Set off for the long ride with the Cannondale Synapse Carbon Disc 105.
