Road Reimagined
Go long, go short, go fast. This is WorldTour performance for real world rides.
Model Description
Wireless brains meet all-road brawn. Synapse Carbon 4 runs Shimano 105 Di2 for a shifting experience that feels straight off the pro tour, minus the bank loan. The frame delivers that signature Synapse ride—quietly fast, endlessly composed—and plays nice with wide tires, fenders, and long days. Call it the sweet spot between Sunday speed and weekday practicality.

Big Ride Rubber
Best-in-class clearance for tires with a maximum measured width of up to 48mm in the front and 42mm in the rear - with at least 4mm of extra clearance on each side - makes Synapse a true, ride-longer, ride-whatever kind of road bike.
More, from less.
The LAB71 and Synapse 1 get a refined, performance-boosting, Hi-MOD carbon layup that shaves over 100 grams off the frame weight, while maintaining Synapse's stiffness, ride-feel, durability, and lifetime warranty.
Proportional Response
Tuned for the rider, our size-specific construction creates optimal stiffness and compliance for each and every frame size in the Synapse range.
StashPort + StashBag
StashPort is our downtube storage system, accessed beneath the water bottle cage. StashPort holds tools, snacks, and other ride essentials in the specially designed StashBag, and on SmartSense-equipped bikes, houses the system battery (which also provides a cool, glovebox-style light when StashPort cover is opened).
D-Lightful
The D-shaped design of Synapse’s seatpost enhances aerodynamics and boosts vertical compliance, reducing muscle fatigue so that you stay fresher on those longer days.
Fly Delta
The unique-to-Cannondale, V-shaped Delta Steerer keeps your cockpit tidy and cables routed internally, while reducing headtube frontal area for drag-reducing aero gains.
