          Technology

          Wide Ranging Capabilities

          With full clearance for tires up to a whopping 32mm wide, and subtle, hidden fender mounts, the Synapse is ready and willing to explore the wilder side of endurance riding.

          Power Pyramid Seat Tube

          The seat tube splits asymmetrically to meet the wide, 73mm BB30A for maximum stiffness with minimal weight.

          BallisTec Carbon

          Cannondale's proprietary high-strength, high-stiffness carbon construction. An advanced matrix of intermediate modulus fibers creates a frame that's light, durable and lively.

          Fender Up

          Fully fender ready. A removable fender bridge on the rear stays is there when you need it, gone when you don't.
