Synapse Carbon 5

- The Road, Reinvented:

Further, faster. WorldTour performance for the real world.

- Model Description:

Simple specifications. Maximum performance. The Synapse Carbon 5 stands out for its high comfort and versatility for real-world roads, with a more affordable build: Shimano 105 mechanical shifting, carbon frame, and wide tire clearance. Whether it’s your first serious bike or your fifteenth, this one seems to know the secret: the right bike makes all the difference.

- What It’S For:

High-performance and comfortable road rides, long distances, fast-paced group rides.

- Key Features:

• Lightweight, comfortable, and aerodynamic Synapse carbon frame with integrated StashPort storage in the downtube.

• Shimano 105: smooth, consistent, and reliable 2x12-speed mechanical drivetrain shifting from Shimano.

• DT Swiss 470 wheels with Vittoria Zaffiro Pro V 32c tires: grip, durability, and speed.

• Cannondale Conceal stem routes cables neatly through the headtube for improved aerodynamics and aesthetics.

- Real-world performance​:

Designed to go fast, built to go far, and made to keep you comfortable, the Synapse redefines road performance. With a sub-1000 gram frame featuring wind-tunnel-sculpted tubes and a best-in-class stiffness-to-weight ratio, this bike is ready for anything. Ask Lachlan Morton why he trusted it to ride around Australia setting records. Unreal speed, built for real-world roads.​

- Excellent comfort​:

Thanks to advances in carbon layup, our engineers have made the new Synapse 18% more compliant than its already incredibly smooth predecessor, giving you 100% more comfort even on the toughest roads.​

- Fits like a glove​:

Great fit and feel make for great rides. With our Proportional Response construction, all riders get just that. From carbon layup to geometry, everything on the Synapse is tailored and tested by frame size. So your bike works in harmony with you and gives you the best ride possible for your size.​

- Bring it all with you:

Our new StashPort downtube storage system is there when you need it and hidden when you don’t. Paired with the dedicated StashBag, you can carry your essentials knowing they’ll be well protected, whatever you’re doing. Meanwhile, best-in-class tire clearance lets you ride all day with comfort and grip like never before.

*Endurance Tires*

Best-in-class tire clearance for maximum measured widths of up to 48 mm front and 42 mm rear, with at least 4 mm of clearance on each side, makes the Synapse a true road bike for going longer and farther.

*Stashport + Stashbag*

StashPort is our take on a downtube storage system, accessible under the bottle cage. All Synapse models include the StashBag, a specially designed bag for tools and ride essentials.

*D-Shape*

The D-shaped seatpost of the Synapse improves aerodynamics and vertical compliance, reducing muscle fatigue so you stay fresher on long days.

*Fly With Delta*

Cannondale’s unique V-shaped Delta tube enables a clean cockpit with internal cable routing. The narrow headtube profile offers significant aerodynamic advantages—plus, it looks sharp and sleek.

*Wheel Sensor*

The Cannondale Wheel Sensor tracks speed, distance, and more with high accuracy, while also providing service reminders and more via the Cannondale App.
