Cannondale Synapse Tiagra Disc Road Bike 2021
The Cannondale Synapse Tiagra Disc Road Bike amalgamates a lively but comfortable alloy frame with a stiff carbon fork and reliable components to bring about a ride that is suited to the longest of mountain sportives and the most enduring training rides.
Reactivity and efficiency are ingrained into the ride thanks to the light but robust alloy frame and stiff carbon fork. These two key components are cleverly manipulated via Cannondale’s SAVE micro-suspension technology that reduces rider fatigue markedly by smoothing the harshest bumps and cancelling out road vibrations. A geometry that errs on the side of endurance helps to keep the rider fresh, even after multiple hours in the saddle but still facilitates a powerful pedal stroke for climbing and sprinting. 32mm wide tyres can be installed thanks to the frameset’s generous amounts of clearance and this grants the opportunity for increased compliance and control across the worst maintained road surfaces.
Cannondale’s own RD 3.0 wheelset is light but strong to allow surging accelerations and peace of mind when potholes threaten. Gear changing is courtesy of the Shimano Tiagra configuration, and this flicks through its ten sprockets with accuracy and reliability.
Confidence-inspiring stopping power in all weather conditions is bestowed by the disc brake setup. When inclement conditions are encountered, the discreet mounts on the frame and fork offer the chance of extra protection via easy and secure mudguard installation.
