Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 Disc Womens Road Bike 2020
The Cannondale Synapse Road Bike has long been setting the benchmark for endurance riding, and this model pairs the road-smoothing women's carbon frame with a reliable Shimano 105 mechanical groupset. The frame is lightweight and stiff so that it dances up the climbs and delivers instant power transfer in a sprint, yet the frame also uses SAVE Micro-Suspension technology to protect you from the fatiguing effect of vibrations and chatter coming back off the road. The geometry is low enough to feel fast yet upright enough that you will be comfortable all day long in the saddle.
Thru-axles further improve stiffness and the flat mount disc brakes will inspire confidence in all conditions, especially on broken back roads or in wet weather. When the conditions deteriorate there are hidden mudguard mounts to protect you from road spray and the frame can take up to a 32mm wide tyre for extra volume and comfort over rough surfaces or the occasional gravel adventure. A women's specific saddle is a perfect contact point to ensure that bumps are reduced but ride experience is enhanced.
The Shimano 105 groupset features an 11-speed 11-34t cassette and compact 50/34T crankset so that you have plenty of range in the gears to tackle steep climbs.
