Performance focused, but slightly more upright for comfort. Perfect for long days in the saddle and confident handling on all road surfaces.
ALL DAY COMFORT
Endurance Geometry provides stable, confident handling, and a more upright riding position for all-day adventures.
SMOOTH SPEED
Micro-Suspension in the rear triangle and fork to keep you comfortable and in control.
FEEL THE LIGHT
SmartForm C2 Alloy Construction and carbon blade forks deliver exceptionally light weight for this category for a high-performance feel.
WIDE RANGING CAPABILITIES
Clearance for tyres up to a 32mm wide, and subtle, hidden mudguard mounts for exploring the wilder side of endurance riding.
ALL ABOUT SAVE
SAVE has been at the heart of the Synapse design since day one, and the updates on the new bike make this micro-suspension system smoother than ever. Engineered Flex Zones in the frame and fork give just the right amount of compliance to soak up bumps and vibration. A 25.4mm SAVE seatpost adds more cush when in the saddle. This ride-smoothing system keeps you protected but fully connected to the experience.
HIGH PERFORMANCE OR FULL ENDURANCE
You no longer have to give up the go to get the all-day capabilities of an endurance machine. Lighter and stiffer than ever, with an asymmetric and size-optimised frame design and a rider position that encourages excess, the all-new Synapse is built to go hard, longer.
SIZE-OPTIMISED DESIGN
Size-specific diameters on the frame, head tube and fork steerer, along with three different fork offets, ensure that each frame size matches the weight and power of the rider for whom it is made. It's the kind of nth degree obsessiveness that elevates the truly great above the merely good.
TRUE ENDURANCE TECHNOLOGY
950g FRAME
When it's just not for the sake of saving grams - in other words, when it's combined with racey snap and sublime feel, there's just no substitute for light weight.
RACE LEVEL STIFFNESS
An asymmetrically designed frame and fork balance pedalling and disc loads to deliver World Tour sprinter level stiffness. Get ready to lay down power and rail corners like never before.
SAVE MICRO-SUSPENSION
Engineered to tune the harshness out of choppy road surfaces, and tune you in to what's happening at your tyres' contact patches, so that you can concentrate on the important stuff like nailing the right line or beating the sun home.
SAVE POST
The 25.4mm SAVE post and integrated seat binder work with the rest of the SAVE system to enhance comfort and reduce fatigue.
CABLE CONTROL
Electrical, wireless, mechanical, the Synapse's intelligent and adaptable down-tube cable port keeps things clean, tidy and dialed.
MUDGUARDS
Hidden mounts and a removable seat stay bridge ensure that the Synapse is fully mudguard-ready for long days with no spray.
ROOM FOR 32
Embrace the backroads, the rough roads, the highways and the byways. With room in the front and rear for tyres as big as 32mm (measured/actual) and SAVE Micro-Suspension, Synapse is ready for any road, anywhere.
THRU AXLES
Thru-axles front and rear might seem like cost-of-entry these days but often they're overkill but ride this bike like it's intended to be ridden and you'll see otherwise.
FLAT OUT, FLAT MOUNT
The flat-mount brake standard should not be overlooked as a performance feature. Less hardware, less flex, easy to adjust, with no unnecessary weight. Flat out better.
