Cannondale Synapse Carbon 2 RL Black Pearl

The Synapse is super comfortable thanks to the integrated flex zones in the rear triangle, seat tube, and seat post. These absorb vibrations and bumps without negatively affecting the frame weight or riding characteristics. The subtle, aerodynamically optimized shape of the frame and fork makes the Synapse even faster than its predecessors. Additionally, the size can be adjusted to fit the rider, allowing you to sit perfectly on your bike and build up speed efficiently. With its comfortable and balanced seating position, easy handling, tire clearance up to 35 mm wide, grippy tires, and numerous mounting points for equipment and bottle holders, the Synapse is maximally flexible – anytime and under any conditions.
