The Synapse Carbon 5 is built for riders who want high-performance road speed with comfort that lasts far beyond the first hour. It brings Cannondales endurance-focused road design into a more grounded build, making it ideal for long rides, fast group efforts and serious everyday road cycling.

Fast Where It Matters:Designed to go long without losing its edge, the Synapse combines a lightweight carbon frame with tubing shaped for aerodynamic efficiency and strong stiffness-to-weight performance. The result is a bike that feels quick under pressure, responsive when accelerating and well suited to riders who want speed on real-world roads.

Compliant Comfort: With advancements in the carbon layup, the new Synapse is engineered to be 20% more compliant than its already smooth predecessor. That added compliance helps reduce fatigue on rough roads, improves ride comfort over long distances and keeps the bike feeling more composed when the surface is less than perfect.

Tuned to Fit the Rider: With Proportional Response Construction, the Synapse is engineered by frame size so that fit, ride feel and performance stay balanced across the range. From the carbon layup to the geometry, each size is tuned to work more naturally with the rider, creating a more connected and confidence-inspiring experience.

Ready for Long Missions: The all-new StashPort storage system adds practical utility without disrupting the clean look of the bike. Paired with the StashBag, it gives riders a secure place for essentials, while the wide tyre clearance opens the door to more comfort, more grip and more freedom on imperfect roads.

Dependable Performance Build:Shimano 105 mechanical shifting brings proven reliability and crisp operation to a bike that is meant to be ridden often and ridden hard. It matches the Synapses carbon frame character well, delivering a setup that feels capable, efficient and ready for both ambitious first upgrades and experienced riders who know exactly what they want.

The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 5 Road Bicycle delivers speed, comfort and all-road confidence for riders who want to go farther and ride faster with less compromise.
