Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Cancelled / Refunded Orders Prior to Despatch

Occassionally our site will state that a particular item is in stock & avaible for despatch, when in fact it isnt.

2017 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 Endurance Road Bike Red

Season:2017

Brand:Cannondale

Code:VARC12326MRED

The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 was one of our best selling road bikes in 2016. It offers everything any enthusiast road rider would want. It's lightweight and comfortable, striking to look at with great componants such as the Shimano 11spd 105 groupset and Mavic sealed bearing wheels.  If you're looking for a bike that's great to train on, performs on the local sportive but could also turn it's hand to the odd race then this is it. 

Rider Profile:

Those who live for the love of the ride. Fit, serious, high-performance riders who set their sights beyond the tightly defined world of the pure racer; Gran Fondo specialists, all-day-epic riders, and those who long to venture off the smooth and easy.

Intended Use:

Gran Fondos, Centuries, Road Racing, Group Rides

Tech - SPEED SAVE

Raceā€oriented SAVE features. Much like the suspension on F1 cars, SPEED SAVE features are engineered to help the bike roll faster, not simply to make it more comfortable. Emphasizing light weight and torsional rigidity, SPEED SAVE delivers improved rolling speed, better acceleration, and dramatically improved cornering speed without negatively affecting power transfer.
 

BALLISTEC CARBON FRAME

BallisTec is Cannondale's proprietary method of high-strength, high-stiffness carbon construction. It is the ideal blend of the most advanced materials in the world combined with the most advanced carbon engineering and design
 

SYNAPSE ENDURANCE RACE GEOMETRY SERGE

Synapse Endurance Race Geometry  S.E.R.G. strikes the ideal balance between pure race position and upright comfort.

Perfect for long days in the saddle and confident handling on all road surfaces.

POWER PYRAMID - Your Base Of Power

The POWER Pyramid is a solid base for laying down the power and laying out the competition.

The seat tube splits asymmetrically at the bottom to accommodate a new, wider bottom bracket for serious stiffness without the added weight.

 

 

You may find plenty of talk regarding different geometry of road bikes with some suited to racing and others suited to endurance or sportive. 

In general there is one key difference and that is that the race bike will have a lower front end give more aerodynamic position where as the endurance bike will be higher offering a more comfortable position on the bike. 

Many manufactures have now taken their designs even further by producing frames not only based geometry to suits the different styles but also changing the make up of the frames to suit. For example the Scott Addict is a road race bike. This has a race geometry but also the frame is designed to be stiffer, lighter and extremely responsive. On the other side you have the Scott Solace which has an endurance geometry. This has also been designed to be light and responsive but it's also been designed so areas of the frame flex offering more comfort to the rider over long distances. 

The key when deciding which bike to choose is to first think about what you want from the bike. If comfort is paramount then choose an endurance bike. If speed is top of the list then choose a race bike.
