Road Reimagined
Go long, go short, go fast. This is WorldTour performance for real world rides.
Model Description
Lean spec. Full send. Synapse Carbon 5 brings Cannondale’s high-comfort, high-capability ethos to a more grounded spec—Shimano 105 mechanical shifting, carbon frame magic, and wide clearance for real-world roads. Whether it’s your first serious bike or your fifteenth, this one rides like it’s in on the secret: the right bike makes all the difference.
What it's for
Comfortable high-performance road riding, long distance missions, fast group rides
Highlights
- Lightweight, smoothly compliant, sleekly aero Synapse carbon frameset with StashPort downtube storage
- Smooth, consistent, reliable 2x12-speed shifting from Shimano's trusted 105 mechanical drivetrain
- DT Swiss 470 rims with Vittoria Zaffiro Pro V 32c tires - grip, durability, and speed
