4 | Size-Optimized Design To ensure that riders of all sizes get the same handling and ride-feel, the new Synapse uses three different steerer diameters and fork rakes across the size range. • Different diameters help deliver dialed front-end stiffness across all sizes. As the sizes increase, forks get proportionally stiffer, and the larger headtubes allow for larger, stiffer downtubes, ensuring that all riders, from the biggest to the smallest, get perfectly tuned frame stiffness. • Different fork rakes help ensure that steering-feel remains consistent across all sizes, and also help eliminate toe overlap issues on smaller sizes. ––Size 44-48: 1-1/8” steerer, 60mm rake ––Size 51-54: 1-1/8” - 1-1/4” tapered steerer, 55mm rake ––Size 56-61: 1-1/8” - 1-3/8” tapered steerer, 45mm rake

5 | Asymmetric Frame Design Distinct asymmetry in the fork and rear triangle enhances stiffness and improves braking performance.

6 | Power Pyramid The seat tube splits asymmetrically to meet the wide, 73mm BB30A for maximum stiffness with minimal weight. (Hi-MOD models only. Non Hi-MOD versions feature the same dimensions, without the split.)

7 | Flat Mount Disc Brakes Light, clean and easy to adjust flat mount discs on all models, with 142x12mm rear and 100x12mm front thru-axles. 59
