Exciting yet forgiving the Cannondale Synapse Hi-Mod Red Road Bike 2016 packs in performance as well as being the bike for racking up the miles on in comfort. This mean green machine continues gets the balance spot on between speed and comfort thanks to its Cannondale S.E.R.G. geometry, which offers an engaging ride. Offering a balance between an all out race position and a more upright position makes it ideal for fast sportives and road miles. The innovative, SAVE PLUS micro-suspension technology, used in the rear triangle and fork, provides a smooth and comfortable ride, absorbing bumps. A feature packed bike with a Synapse BallisTec High Modulus Carbon fibre frame, which is Di2 compatible. This is paired with a Synapse SAVE PLUS, BallisTec High Modulus Carbon fork.

Cannondale have always been market leaders when it comes to lightweight performance. Therefore it makes sense that this exceptional frame is paired with one of the lightest groupsets on the market, SRAM RED 22, this includes the high performance HRD hydraulic disc brakes that give the best in all weather dependable stopping power. Additionally, the Cannondale HollowGram SiSL2 is one of the lightest and stiffest cranksets on the market. This is the perfect platform for mounting the Cannondale OPI SpideRings to. This compact double chainring setup uses the reliable and smooth, FSA BB30 bottom bracket.

Getting up to speed on this bike could not be simpler with the addition of the new and improved Cannondale CZero carbon clincher rims, hubs and DT Swiss Aerolite spokes. This sensational package delivers stunning looks, a lighter weight and even better performance. These fast rolling wheels are adorned with the latest Schwalbe ONE 700 x 28c tubeless tyres that offer immense puncture protection and grip in both the wet and dry.

Top of the line, Cannondale components grace this bike, with the remodelled and improved ultra lightweight C1 range providing the compact alloy handlebar and six degree stem. The Italian masters of components, FSA have added their SL-K Carbon, 25.4 millimetre seat post. This looks stunning, adds comfort and minimises road buzz.

Comfort is further enhanced with gel incorporated Cannondale Grip Bar Tape and a Fabric Scoop saddle, that looks great, supports the rider. This is lightened for this year by using the carbon fibre rails version, which will also add yet another comfort element.
