Like the best grand touring automobiles our Performance line of road bikes fuses savage performance with refined luxury.
Pro-level stiffness and light-weight meet bump-eating smoothness and a riding position that encourages long days in the saddle.
Fast never felt so good.
Elite-race performance meets all-day comfort.
Synapse Carbon mates the feathery weight and blistering acceleration of our pure race bikes with the more upright position and stable handling Performance Geometry and the comfort of our SAVE PLUS micro-suspension system.
The result is a bike that cuts the harshness out of long days in the saddle without sacrificing its sporting soul.
CRUSH MEETS PLUSH
The perfect balance between raw power and all-day ridability, the all-new Synapse combines remarkably light weight, race-proven performance and dialed vertical compliance in a bicycle that redefines "Endurance."
The ultimate partner for the epic ride.
An ideal blend of compliance, rigidity, and weight for the perfect balance of race-day aggression and all-day ridability.
Revolutionary. BallisTec Carbon, Power Pyramid and the SAVE PLUS system provide the ideal blend of crush meets plush.
SAVE PLUS Rear Stay Micro-Suspension System
A directional carbon lay-up and exaggerated vibration-absorbing tube shapes give the SAVE PLUS chain stay/seat stay system 13% more vertical deflection than the previous version while actually improving the frames lateral and torsional stiffness.
SAVE PLUS Full Carbon Fork
Offset dropouts allow the fork blades to have the vertical compliance of a shallow rake fork without sacrificing the Synapses nimble precise handling. Refined carbon lay-up and SAVE shaping further enhance the forks vertical compliance.
Performance Geometry
Compared with our Elite race geometry the Synapse features a 2-2.5 cm taller head tube slightly relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase for a more upright riding position and a stable yet lively feel. Its confidence-inspiring relaxing and it avoids the sluggish feel and awkward handling of many road bikes.
