The brand new Synapse Carbon 5 reimagines the definition of a road bike. With Shimano 105 mechanical shifting, carbon frame magic, and an overall lean spec, this bike offers the ability to go long, go short, or go fast all with one bike. 20% more compliant than its predecessor, this bike offers ultimate comfort when riding on any terrain. The Synapse's carbon frame provides a lighter feel while maintaining strength and ensuring a comfortable ride, making it easier to accelerate, climb hills, and ride longer distances without fatigue. Additionally, the frame offers a stiffness that enhances responsiveness and improves the transfer of power from the pedals to the wheels, leading to a faster and more efficient ride. Its aero-based geometry is designed to reduce drag and enhance speed, while the aggressive, streamlined riding position adds to its performance. Additionally, the Cannondale C1 Conceal internal cable routing further minimises drag and resistance.

Featuring the new StashPort storage system which allows you to bring along essentials on your ride and stash them in the downtube to be hidden from sight, thanks to the StashBag. The D-shaped design of the seatpost enhances aerodynamics and vertical compliance, taking the bike's shock absorption to a whole new level. The unique v-shape Delta Steerer keeps the cockpit tidy and cables routed internally. The clearance offers the ability to use up to 48mm tyres in the front, and up to 42mm tyres in the rear. Whether you are riding long distances or winning short races, this bike will guide the way!
