Performance
The Synapse Carbon 5 delivers the core performance of the Synapse platform with the simplicity and dependability of Shimano 105 mechanical shifting. Its lightweight carbon frameset blends aerodynamic shaping with stable, predictable handling, making it ideal for real world riding across every season. With wide tyre clearance and durable DT Swiss 470 wheels, the Synapse Carbon 5 is ready for broken UK lanes, winter training routes, light gravel and long summer miles. This is a true all road endurance bike built to handle whatever the day brings.
Comfort
Cannondales endurance geometry creates a relaxed, balanced position that works for long hours in the saddle. The updated carbon layup increases compliance, smoothing out rough surfaces and reducing fatigue on long rides. Paired with high volume tyres and the stable wheelbase, the Synapse Carbon 5 delivers comfort and control whether you are tackling winter base miles, exploring quiet backroads or heading out for a full day in the hills.
Design
The Synapse Carbon 5 blends modern aerodynamics with practical features for everyday riding. StashPort downtube storage keeps tools and essentials secure and out of sight, while discreet mounts allow for mudguards and top tube bags. Fully internal cabling and clean tube shaping give the bike a sleek, efficient look. With generous tyre clearance and a lightweight frame, the Synapse Carbon 5 is built to handle every surface and every season with confidence.
