Offering comfort in a speedy package, the Cannondale Synapse 5 compact road bike combines an aluminum frame and carbon blade fork for a nimble, responsive ride.
- Constructed of lightweight T6061 aluminum, Synapse frame geometry is designed to promote stable handling and enhance comfort
- Carbon fork, shaped chainstays and slightly bent seatstays employ Synapse Active Vibration Elimination (S.A.V.E.) technology to effectively dampen road vibration
- FSA Omega compact crankset drives a Shimano 105 group for seamless shifts across the 12-27 cassette, leaving you to hammer away as you please
- Tektro R538 dual-pivot caliper brakes provide quick deceleration
- Shimano wheels are outfitted with puncture-resistant Maxxis Fuse tires for more ride time and less down time
- Cockpit is outfitted with Cannondale goodies, including a carbon-wrapped seatpost that's topped with a cushy San Marco Ponza Power saddle
- NOTE: Specs and images are subject to change based on component availability
