Synapse 1
The Synapse 1 is a pure road machine designed to be comfortable, all-around, and up-for-anything. It thrives on the open road, up and down hills, and over rough pavement, offering a ride defined by comfort, handling, and the ability to go long. The frame tubes are precisely shaped and butted to absorb road chatter and bumps without adding unnecessary weight or isolating the rider from the experience. With a responsive alloy frame and balanced geometry, this bike is built to provide control and finesse for an enjoyable road riding experience.

Why we like the Cannondale Synapse 1
Refined Alloy Ride
The precision-shaped and butted SmartForm C2 Alloy frame is specifically engineered to absorb road vibrations. This allows for a butter-smooth ride that keeps the rider comfortable over rough pavement without losing the responsiveness of a lightweight alloy bike.

This design features clearance for 32mm wide tires, providing the option for extra cushion and grip. Along with hidden rack and fender mounts, the bike is ready to adapt to whatever the road or weather requires.
Performance Value
Equipped with Shimano's legendary 105 12-speed group and hydraulic disc brakes, the bike offers professional-level precision and stopping power. It is a robust setup designed to perform reliably through high-mileage training and long group rides.
