The Synapse is designed with comfort in mind. Discreet flex zones in the rear triangle, seat tube, and seatpost absorb road vibrations and bumps, providing a smoother ride without adding unnecessary weight or disconnecting you from the road feel.
Crafted from lightweight carbon, the frame and fork feature subtle aerodynamic shaping, while the size-specific design ensures perfect stiffness balance. The result? A machine built for speed and efficiency.
With a comfortable, balanced riding position, confident handling, and clearance for 35mm tires offering both comfort and grip, the Synapse is ready to tackle any road. Plus, with plenty of gear and bottle mounts, it's prepared for any adventure.
Ride with confidence and increased visibility, thanks to the SmartSense system, which includes front and rear lights and an optional rear-facing radar for enhanced awareness on the road.
