Synapse hi-mod / synapse carbon are: A true blend of elite race performance and ride-all-day comfort. Performance Geometry strikes the perfect balance between a comfortable position, stable handling and racy responsiveness. SAVE PLUS micro-suspension technology provides a buttery smooth ride.

1 SAVE PLUS Rear Stay Micro-Suspension System

The directional carbon lay-up and exaggerated vibration-absorbing tube shapes of the SAVE PLUS chain stay/seat stay system offer incredible comfort while actually improving the frames lateral and torsional stiffness.

2 SAVE PLUS Full Carbon Fork

Offset dropouts allow the fork blades to have the vertical compliance of a shallow rake fork, without sacrificing the Synapse’s nimble, precise handling. Refined carbon lay-up and SAVE shaping further enhance the fork’s vertical compliance.

3 Performance Geometry

Compared with our Elite race geometry, the Synapse features a 2-2.5 cm taller head tube, slightly relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase for a more upright riding position and a stable yet lively feel. It’s confidence-inspiring, relaxing and it avoids the sluggish feel and awkward handling of many “comfort” road bikes.

4 27.2mm Round Seatpost

The smaller diameter and round shape of the Synapse seatpost increases comfortenhancing deflection and allows easy adjustability.
