Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 L

Description

The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 L is a high-quality choice for those looking for a comfortable, fast, versatile, even smart road bike. With this model from Cannondale's range you have a fantastic racing bike for almost any type of use.

Handsome, comfortable and fast
The heart of the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 L is its high-quality carbon frame. Designed to be comfortable, yet with speed enhancing features as well. It comes with 30 mm tyres to make it versatile, and it can even accommodate 35 mm tyres. As cobblestone roads, shell paths and sandy trails feel much less uncomfortable than you might expect, the Synapse is also suitable for use as a gravel bike. And because it's lightweight and aerodynamic, it simply flies over such roads, paths and trails. The handsome frame also has almost invisible mudguard mounts; when you need mudguards, you'll find them very easy to mount and very efficient at keeping you dry on wet roads. The sitting position on this Cannondale bike has been designed for long comfortable rides at high speed.

Reliable shifting with Shimano 105 components
The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 L is almost entirely fitted with Shimano's fantastic 105 groupset, which is the same great quality as the frame. The stiff and light compact Shimano RS510 crankset and the 11-34 cassette allow you to always find the right gear, even when facing some challenging climbs. When going downhill or riding in the rain you can always rely on the hydraulic disc brakes of the same 105 quality.

Reliable components for long, challenging rides
The other components of the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 L are equally great. The Fulcrum wheels are stiff, strong and reliable. A wheel sensor integrated in the front hub provides data on speed, route and distance. The 30 mm Vittoria tyres offer a fine mix of low rolling resistance, plenty of grip and good puncture resistance.

Technical advances in collaboration with Garmin
It is not just the integrated wheel sensor that makes this Cannondale road bike a technological marvel. Cannondale has gone one step further by teaming up with Garmin. Together they have produced a system whereby a lighting set is fitted to the bicycle as standard. This lighting set is powered by an integrated battery located just above the bottom bracket. The battery can be removed and charged inside your house. This system can be completed with the Garmin SmartSense radar system, which is not supplied as standard. This radar is rear-facing and gives you signals about traffic approaching from behind. With these systems, you can be even safer on the road with your new road bike.

In short, if you are looking for a high-quality, comfortable, fast and versatile road bike, the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 L should absolutely be on your shortlist.
