Road Reimagined

Go long, go short, go fast. This is WorldTour performance for real world rides.

Lean spec. Full send. Synapse Carbon 5 brings Cannondale’s high-comfort, high-capability ethos to a more grounded spec—Shimano 105 mechanical shifting, carbon frame magic, and wide clearance for real-world roads. Whether it’s your first serious bike or your fifteenth, this one rides like it’s in on the secret: the right bike makes all the difference.

Highlights
Lightweight, smoothly compliant, sleekly aero Synapse carbon frameset with StashPort downtube storage
Smooth, consistent, reliable 2x12-speed shifting from Shimano's trusted 105 mechanical drivetrain
DT Swiss 470 rims with Vittoria Zaffiro Pro V 32c tires - grip, durability, and speed
Cannondale Conceal stem routes cables neatly through the headtube for reduced drag and sleek looks
