Cannondale’s Synapse Carbon 105 is a perfect combination of performance, high speed, and excellent value in a carbon endurance road bike. This bike remains very fast mile after mile, keeping you in a comfortable upright position while dissipating vibration from the road. With an incredibly light and stiff frame for maximum efficiency and an industry leading suspension system, Cannondale refers to the Synapse as the best all-around bike they have ever created. All-day rides and Gran Fondos have never felt so good as they do with the Cannondale Synapse.

The Frame of this version of the Cannondale Synapse is made with their BallisTec Carbon with intermediate modulus fibers. This material is less expensive than the Hi-Mod fiber but is still plenty light enough to conquer climbs with ease while holding a similar level of stiffness and deflection as its more expensive counterpart. This frame is designed for tight control with a great balance of light weight and ride feel. Anyone looking to save a bit of money without a hit to performance should consider the Synapse Carbon frame as their base.

The endurance nature of the Cannondale Synapse can be attributed to its SAVE Micro-Suspension. This technology is engineered to reduce the natural shock and vibration from the road to fend off fatigue for a longer period. The rear triangle has flattened chain and seatstays which are able to slightly flex vertically to absorb shock while maintaining its lateral stiffness. This assures that your wheels will always stay in contact with the ground for the smoothest ride possible. The fork also offers an amount of control to the amount of shock you receive, absorbing deflection and keeping fork legs aligned to ensure steering control. The seatpost and tube also flex the proper amount under a load to add additional comfort.

A Shimano 105 mechanical groupset is extremely affordable but still delivers quick and reliable shifting with minimal maintenance. This version features rim brakes for excellent braking performance and an even further drop in price. Power pyramid technology means that the seat tube splits asymmetrically to meet a wider bottom bracket for maximum stiffness at a minimal weight. This all adds up to an endurance road bike that remains as fast as your standard racing road bike. The Cannondale Synapse 105 is a great choice for the rider looking for an entry-level carbon road bike for all-day adventures.
