Cannondale Synapse Carbon Tiagra Disc Road Bike 2020
The Cannondale Synapse is a long-proven endurance Road Bike and this model pairs the lightweight carbon frame with a reliable Shimano Tiagra groupset. The innovative SAVE Micro-Suspension that is used in key elements of the frame takes the edge out of harsh roads, improving feel and comfort so that handling is enhanced and so is your performance. Furthermore, the frame has enough clearance to take a tyre width up to 32mm, for a touch of extra cushioning should you encounter gravel or poorly surfaced back roads. Although lighter and stiffer for faster climbing and instant power transfer, there is no loss of comfort and the design is size-optimised so that regardless of your needs, the lay-up, tube dimensions and fork offsets are tailored to deliver the same ride experience across the range.
On the downtube, a Cable Control Port keeps your gear and brake cables tidy for easy maintenance, as well as reducing drag, and the thru-axles with flat mount disc brakes allow perfect modulation of speed on any surface. Ride all year in comfort by making use of the mudguard mounts and with the 10-speed Shimano Tiagra groupset featuring an 11-34 cassette and 50/34 chainrings, there will be no issues with tackling big climbs.
