Synapse 1

Synapse 1

The Cannondale Synapse 1 is a versatile, endurance-focused road bike designed for comfort, speed, and confidence on any ride. Built around a lightweight SmartForm C2 Alloy frame with a full carbon fork, it features Shimano 105 12-speed components and hydraulic disc brakes for precise shifting and smooth, reliable stopping power. DT Swiss R470 wheels paired with 700x30c Vittoria tires provide a smooth, stable ride on varied road surfaces, while the ergonomic Synapse geometry and SAVE micro-suspension technology reduce fatigue on long climbs and rough pavement. Trainer-ready with included end caps, and complete with a top-tube bag for on-the-go storage, the Synapse 1 is a performance-driven, all-around road companion for riders seeking comfort, control, and versatility.
