RRP: £1,400
As a training or commuting bike, this Synapse offers a good blend of practicality, durability and performance. The handling is neat, precise and confident at all speeds, and even in this budget-friendly form, the Synapse DNA ensures that it’s a reassuringly stable, comfortably quick and stylish-looking way to separate yourself from winter’s worst.
Known for its ride-smoothing ability, the Synapse, even in this bargain form, instantly feels comfortable. It is specced with mudguard mounts and there’s provision for a rear rack plus two bottle cages. One quirk of the frame is combining the fork’s 12mm thru-axle with a quick-release rear wheel fixing. The dropouts are vertical, so with correct installation there shouldn’t be any brake rotor alignment issues. A brilliant all-rounder with well-specced gearing and practicality
The Shimano 105 11-speed drivetrain is supplemented by an FSA Omega compact chainset and TRP Spyre-C mechanical disc brakes, keeping costs down. Sharing the ergonomics of Shimano’s loftier levers, the 105 controls feel great. Shifting is functionally excellent, with positive actions and good feedback.
The rims are Maddux RD 2.0 spinning on Formula hubs. They’re aluminium, 25mm tall and 24mm wide externally. They’re robust and spin well. They wear some Grippy Vittoria Zaffiro 30c tyres but these can be swapped out for road tyres if the need arises.
The alloy finishing kit is Cannondale’s own, as is the saddle.
Bike has been sparingly used and is in excellent condition. It does have some small marks from storage, please see the photos. All of the components have lots of life left in them and bearings are smooth.
