Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105

The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 is a first-rate choice for those looking for a comfortable, fast and versatile road bike. With this bike, you don't have to choose only one main feature.

Versatile, comfortable, fast
The heart of the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 is its high-quality carbon frame. Designed to be comfortable, yet with speed enhancing features as well. It offers plenty of clearance for the 30mm tyres that make the Synapse so versatile. And it can even have 32mm tyres. Cobblestone roads, shell paths and sandy trails feel much less uncomfortable than you might expect. And because it's light and aerodynamic, the Cannondale Synapse simply flies over them with ease. The handsome frame also has barely visible mudguard mounts; when you need mudguards, you'll find them very easy to mount and very efficient at keeping you dry on wet roads. And when you don't need them, simply remove them.
The sitting position on this Cannondale bike is aimed at enabling you to make long comfortable rides at high speed.

Great shifting and powerful braking
The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 is almost entirely fitted with Shimano's 105 groupset which ticks all the boxes. Thanks to the Cannondale compact crankset and 11-34 cassette, you'll always be able to find the right gear, even when facing a great many climbs. When going downhill or riding in the rain you can always rely on the hydraulic Shimano 105 disc brakes.

Reliable components
The other components of the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 are equally good. The wheels are sturdy and reliable, perfectly suited to many comfortable and fast miles. As are the handlebar, stem and saddle. Finally, the 30mm Vittoria tyres offer a fine mix of low rolling resistance, plenty of grip and good puncture resistance.

In short, if you are looking for a high-quality, comfortable, fast and versatile road bike, you should definitely include the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 in your shortlist.
