Cannondale Synapse Hi-MOD Ultegra Road Bike 2014
Like the best grand touring automobiles Cannondale's Performance line of road bikes fuses savage performance with refined luxury. Pro-level stiffness and light-weight meet bump-eating smoothness and a riding position that encourages long days in the saddle.
Fast never felt so good. Elite-race performance meets all-day comfort.
Synapse Carbon mates the feathery weight and blistering acceleration of our pure race bikes with the more upright position and stable handling Performance Geometry and the comfort of Cannondale's SAVE PLUS micro-suspension system.
The result is a bike that cuts the harshness out of long days in the saddle without sacrificing its sporting soul.
Features
SAVE PLUS Rear Stay Micro-Suspension System A directional carbon lay-up and exaggerated vibration-absorbing tube shapes give the SAVE PLUS chain stay/seat stay system 13% more vertical deflection than the previous version while actually improving the frames lateral and torsional stiffness.
SAVE PLUS Full Carbon Fork Offset dropouts allow the fork blades to have the vertical compliance of a shallow rake fork without sacrificing the Synapses nimble precise handling. Refined carbon lay-up and SAVE shaping further enhance the forks vertical compliance.
Performance Geometry Compared with our Elite race geometry the Synapse features a 2-2.5 cm taller head tube slightly relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase for a more upright riding position and a stable yet lively feel. It's confidence-inspiring relaxing and it avoids the sluggish feel and awkward handling of many road bikes.
BallisTec Hi-MOD Carbon On the Hi-MOD frames Cannondale uses the same base structures as on their BallisTec Nano frames, but with a sophisticated mix of high and ultra-high modulus fibers to create the stiffening network. Due to their extreme rigidity, Cannondale achieve tremendous stiffness with less material, which keeps the overall structure weight to a minimum.
