Up front, the full carbon fork uses a Delta steerer for stiffness and precision, and routing is fully internal to keep the lines clean and cable drag minimal. Shifting duties are taken care of by the latest Shimano 105 12 speed mechanical groupset. With an 11 36T cassette and compact 5034 chainset, the gearing is spot on for hilly sportives, fast club rides, or big solo miles. The Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes use 160mm rotors front and rear, offering dependable power and modulation whether you're cornering on wet descents or braking late into bends. Rolling on DT Swiss R470 wheels and fitted with grippy, durable Vittoria Zaffiro Pro V 32c tyres, the Synapse Carbon 5 can tackle broken back roads with surprising comfort while still carrying speed on the smoother stuff. The wide tyre clearance also adds versatility if you fancy swapping to bigger rubber for rougher rides. Finishing touches like the HollowGram 27 aero seatpost and Fizik Terra Argo X7 saddle show Cannondales commitment to combining speed and comfort. And with full compatibility for SmartSense lighting and radar systems, plus discreet mudguard mounts, the Synapse is ready for all weather road riding. If youre after an endurance road bike that is lightweight and comfortable, the Synapse Carbon 5 is a great choice.
