Cannondale Synapse 1 Road Bike
Road Reimagined
Comfortable, confident, and ready for anything the road throws at you, the Synapse 1 is a pure endurance road bike built to go long and keep you smiling.
Cannondale Synapse 1 — Alloy Endurance Road Bike with Carbon Fork and Shimano 105
The Synapse 1 pairs a lightweight SmartForm C2 alloy frame with a full carbon fork to deliver a ride that is smooth, responsive, and composed over rough or uneven tarmac. Shimano 105 12-speed mechanical shifting brings legendary groupset performance and reliability at an exceptional price point, while hydraulic disc brakes with RT64 centerlock rotors deliver smooth, controllable stopping power in all conditions. DT Swiss R470 wheels keep things light and durable, and Vittoria Zaffiro Pro 700x30c tyres give you confidence on varied road surfaces. Hidden rack and fender mounts, SmartSense compatibility, and a BSA threaded bottom bracket make the Synapse 1 a genuinely versatile platform for long rides, commutes, and everything in between. Roll smooth, roll fast, roll confident.
