Cannondale Synapse Hi-Mod Disc Black Inc. Road Bike 2016

Cannondale Synapse Hi-Mod Disc Black Inc. Road Bike 2016

All of the excitement and performance you would expect from a top end performance road bike, but with adaptations to make it suitable to racking up some serious miles and tackling rougher surfaces in comfort, the Cannondale Synapse Hi-Mod Disc Black Road Bike 2016 is as much bike as you could ever desire for.

The heart of its success comes from the 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, 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. This is constructed from the Synapse BallisTec Carbon fibre frame, that is supremely light and strong. Paired to this is a Synapse SAVE PLUS, BallisTec Carbon fork.

One of the lightest and stiffest cranksets on the market, the Cannondale HollowGram SiSL2 has been used. 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 new addition of Cannondale Hollowgram SL carbon clincher rims and hubs that are laced with DT Swiss Aerolite spokes. This sensational package delivers better looks, a lower weight and even more exceptional performance than ever before. These fast rolling wheels are adorned with the latest Schwalbe ONE 700 x 28c folding tyres that offer immense puncture protection and grip in both the wet and dry.

Hydraulic disc brakes are, without doubt, the best braking system available providing dependable all weather performance and power, with these Shimano R785 offerings being some of the best. Further stating the claim for this bike being the best equipped on the market is the supreme Shimano Dura Ace 9070 eleven speed Di2 components. This is the slickest and most precise shifting available.

Top of the line, Cannondale components grace this bike, with the ultra lightweight C1 stem and Escape handlebar. 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 Shallow Ultimate saddle, that looks great, supports the rider and is lightweight.
